What on earth are you on about? The article is referring to Variety, which refers to Puck as having broken the story. Are Variety, the renowned trade publication, and Puck, an inde…

A lot of present-day mastering can technically remain loud while sounding a lot less harsh. That's thanks to aesthetic mixing choices and at least in part due to audio processing a…

You are very unlikely to hear a difference like this on laptop speakers. Present-day Apple laptop speakers are great feats of engineering for what they are, but they use a bunch of…

Due to how my head is wired, I've discovered that I enjoy gaming a lot more after I switched to console two years ago: all settings are curated (for better and worse). I'm not even…

There's a lot of great picks here, such as Gattaca, Man from Earth, Contact, The Matrix, Wall-E, Children of Men, The Fifth Element, 12 Monkeys. I would add Truman Show. Depending …

I admittedly don't have kids, but media is so saturated and oversexualized that I personally feel that thought-provoking fiction that dissects and critiques urges is possible and g…

I watched Terminator (1984) around that age, perhaps a year younger. It's not great science fiction, but I still like it quite a bit for the drab, claustrophobic atmosphere, with b…

This is my impression as well, about NYT's business. The "internet person" knee jerk response about paywalls, does have a certain degree of truth about relevance of journalism thou…

I don't think they do. I've been using DuckDNS against my own domain CNAMEs for years.

They do not. Wouldn't be paying them via Patreon if they did.

Intriguing. Doesn't seem to work on macOS tho.

Was looking for a good place to post this in the thread but I'll just drop it here. Microsoft Teams still lacks multi-account support on desktop. As in, you can't sign on to severa…

I understand why this sounds like a bad answer, but it's not half-bad in context. Microsoft 365 absolutely is something of a buffet for companies/orgs with IT budget constraints an…

That plugin is probably based on BlogVault's Migrate Guru, which is available for free and works with a number or hosts. It's a game changer, really.

Cloudways is good at providing a control panel with a user experience resembling expensive Wordpress hosts, including developer workflows and such, while also giving a little more …

I used to host small projects on DH. If you need a place where you can out several websites that don't make money for a sustainable, reasonable small cost, you'll be surprised by t…

yeah my entire hosting account is up and my uptime robot monitoring reports no recent outages.

In my experience, Dreamhost's e-mail has been the part of the service that always worked. I'm under the impression that the architecture of their e-mail service has been some sort …

Okay, and the Tatars?

I'm curious as to how you dismiss the first pattern, specifically, Russia's treatment of indigenous Crimean Tatars as well as the laughable 2014 "referendum"

The current product page still states that "a big four accounting firm" audits the service's privacy policy on a yearly retainer https://one.one.one.one/dns/

Do you work in an international setting where everyone speaks English as a second language, with or without a strong accent? Or, do you find yourself surrounded by native speakers?…

I'm a native Swedish speaker in Finland[1], blessed with the rights that come with a second official national language. Growing up, I was something of a bookish basement dweller an…

The tradeoff seems to be that * Bluetooth offers limited range and uses more battery, and is usually interrupted if someone calls, but supports any application that can play sound.…
