Sad, I liked that ChatGPT had a native app on macOS. I don’t understand why OpenAI and Anthropic have to rely on vending universal apps when their whole MO is code being dirt cheap…

Just canceled my subscription! I immediately received an email with the subject “We’d love your feedback on why you canceled your ChatGPT plus subscription” and a link to a survey.…

As far as I’m aware, Xfinity fiber customers have to use the provided “Xfinity Wi-Fi Gateway” and cannot enable bridge mode. If anyone knows a way around this, please share! I want…

> The crash is Marine's third in several weeks Should be “the Marines’ third.” I don’t mean to be a stickler, but for a moment I thought this one pilot was crashing a plane a week!…

In my much shorter 5 years, I’ve seen devs exclusively using Apple hardware. And in my team, our dev environment has become increasingly local!

Now that porting between MVNOs with eSIM is free and dead simple, I can’t think of a reason to stick with the big 3 carriers. The MVNO I stuck with even has a slick way to port bet…

They do also charge (dearly) for usage.

My concern comes from my own naïveté. I don’t know enough about flying to know how concerned I should be. Hearing there’s a storm that affects navigation is an eyebrow-raiser, espe…

I’m surprised how “cheap” the Manhattan Project and Apollo Program were. It’s bizarre we put people on the Moon in the ‘60s for an amount of money similar to Apple’s recent stock b…

Amazon Smile was shut down, unfortunately: https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/amazon-closing...

I’m a huge fan of Raycast for everything. The AI plugin included in the Raycast Pro subscription [0] can be configured with some neat “improve writing on whatever is highlighted” f…

Apple News+ is trying to be that. I get it through my Apple One family plan. The home page is shamefully Trump spam and tabloid garbage, but the magazine section isn’t terrible. I …

I wish headlights + taillights were required to be always on, or at least on by default.

The VPCSB [0] had a switch at the top that could manually switch between integrated graphics for better battery, or discrete graphics for better performance. It always felt cool tu…

Even in dense US cities, being on two wheels is dangerous. Many people buy a car for safety, which ends up making the road even more dangerous! (To clarify, I’m not taking a jab at…

The proprietary layout engine is named TALA. IMO the docs are pretty transparent about TALA being closed source and behind a paywall. TALA docs: https://d2lang.com/tour/tala/ TALA …

Seems like an odd revive since International Scouts are relatively unknown outside enthusiast groups.

Another great (and free!) option is Mullvad’s ad-blocking DNS over TLS or HTTPS. https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls

Anecdotal, but since I started cycling I’ve noticed an absurd amount of cars have license plate tabs that have been expired for years. There’s even a Porsche Taycan in my apartment…

Are you thinking of Boom Supersonic? I know next to nothing about aviation or economics, but my gut feeling is a plane with ~80 seats for international flights will be expensive. h…

I just canceled my annual subscription and found out I get a refund for the 5 unused months I paid for. Cool!
