Have a look at Wallabag. You can self host it, it has browser and phone plugins, and works quite well.

The Atari drives (810/1050) could not write bad sectors. They were "intelligent" peripherals that implemented their own command set and were not under low level control by the host…

I like the idea, but the note "So your money will never go to a site that you’ve never visited — and you’ll even get a monthly report showing which publishers your money is support…

The internet is a kind of Babel fish, letting people from different cultures easily interact. Douglas' comment on the outcome seems sadly prescient: "Meanwhile the poor Babel fish,…

ADB is also much less flexible. I have Titanium Backup making nightly backups, and then FolderSync automatically pushes them to a SFTP server I run. If something should happen to m…

This sounds similar to what Honda was doing in the 70s (with no electronics or injection!) in the CVCC engine ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CVCC )

There is a negative incentive as well. Most return policies are thirty days, so if you shop months early you have no recourse should a gift be found to be defective at Christmas.

"It doesn’t necessarily mean that their scientists are better, it’s just that when they say, ‘We need a billion dollars to do this,’ bam, the money comes.” More than that, when the…

The Brain Bag by itself is not well organized, but add a Brain Cell to hold the laptop, a Snake Charmer for cables, and a Freudian Slip for papers and you're getting somewhere. You…

The classic lowest common denominator manager: "I may not understand what you do, I may not be able to judge your performance, but I can damn well tell if your butt is in your seat…

This is something we try to instill in our new ops people. If you don't understand what's going on, don't do anything. There's nothing to be gained by quickly applying the wrong so…

A truly unique character. He's not kidding about making the Klein bottles either: http://kleinbottle.com/ I've got one on my shelf at home.

Yes. Once you've stated that you were willing to invade privacy like this, saying "but we never would actually do it!" carries little weight.

The NeXT had such a clean aesthetic, even on the original B&W displays that were limited to just four shades of grey. I still use the house icon from the later color systems on my …

Has anyone seen an explanation of how the telnet port on these devices is getting exposed to the internet to be exploited? I would think that most home users are behind a NAT devic…

Currently seeing this with the Nissan Leaf. It has a 2G modem built in for their Carwings service. Nissan has sent out a letter that the car will need an update for the data featur…

Trying it out and liking it so far. I've noticed it does make my phone (Droid Turbo) heat up. May be from the frequent data reloads while I'm scrolling.

There's another critical role in many organizations for your manager; defending your team against other managers. Otherwise your highly-motivated group will become less so as they …

He's not alone. I played both DK games when they were originally released, and eagerly downloaded this new one. It looked great, and the narrator's "So...you've finally returned" w…

Thinking the same thing, right out of Spook Country.
