Thanks! I checked Settings but for some reason only the Privacy/Security section where I thought this option might be. No wonder I didn't see it.

I would consider using this app on my desktop instead of Thunderbird primarily due to the improved search. After giving it a spin for 180 seconds, the main nuisance for me is that …

> Even better, for a few months the browsers themselves would highlight RSS feeds and allow you subscribe right in the browser. It was too good to last. I use the Awesome RSS add-o…

I slapped together a little shareable sprint calendar tool, since I was constantly finding myself having to click too many times in other tools to get what should be a simple at-a-…

This is what I am using, with the FeedMe app on Android so I can read wherever I am. Works well.

Yep. As an Australian in Taipei today, what struck me most was the effort involved. People have to go to the physical voting location where they are registered, which for many can …

Excellent. Wish I'd had this years ago for a bunch of projects! Tempted to revisit some of them now, knowing it can be this easy. Might be able to do a better job.

I just made a simple sprint calendar so I could keep track of my team's big dates more effectively at work, at a glance from my phone etc. https://sprintcalendar.com My team runs w…

I'm the product manager for a couple of dev teams, and sometimes need to quickly check where certain future dates fall with our 3-weekly sprint cadence. Neither Outlook's calendar …

Take note of things in your day-to-day which annoy you. I became a product owner for a team running 3-week sprints, and kept finding myself being caught out in stakeholder meetings…

This is what came to mind immediately when a friend of mine was recalling a prank (purportedly) pulled on a Sydney restaurant. The QR code sticker on various tables was replaced wi…

I did this yesterday as well, Aegis seems really nice. I've got Syncthing up and running with my desktop as a middleman, so my old phone can be whipped out at any time if my curren…

It seems our governments tried to walk a fine line for a while with China, because the trade dollars were so good. That's all a bit out the window now. They've slapped us (economic…

I'm sure many here on HN did this long ago, but for me: Learning how to get by in a large org for the first time. 1 month ago I was responsible for the entire IT function of an SMB…

That medical software is simply bad is also my experience, having been an IT Manager for a clinic management company for a few years now. In Australia at least, 85%+ of medical pra…

I'm most excited about these too, but for another reason: noise. Looking for a place to live, and there are many nice suburban streets which I pretty much have to avoid because I a…

The colour under UV immediately brought to mind the space LEGO sets I enjoyed as a kid in the early 90s: https://lego.fandom.com/wiki/6923_Particle_Ionizer I wonder if uranium glas…

We are currently at 7.8 billion. 1.2 billion people ago was 2006 or 2007.

I use https://pinpayments.com/ to accept credit/debit cards. My target market is 100% Australian so it was an easy option for me, but it won't be suitable for most people here.

True, and this is the reason I instead direct friends to options such as Authy or Aegis which allow the use of more than one device. Unfortunately my bank (ANZ) and my government's…

My understanding from his various posts online (and website [1]) is that he owns and lives near the land where the filming takes place. In Far North Queensland these sorts of areas…

German internet didn't seem so bad to me, and I suspect it is because I am Australian. The parallels between Telstra and Telekom were uncanny. In Germany eventually I ended up with…

Indeed. And it's worth remembering that one of those design constraints for the South Australia project was Musk's "Done in 100 days or it's free" offer. While surely done for publ…

As best I can tell, it adds risks which may or may not be a sufficient deterrent - depending on the business. Once $10k+ cash transactions are banned, questions will be raised over…
