The creepy ai slop woman?

Recently I was shopping for curtains. Even though the shop I found has great reviews and a physical showroom with a real person, I took my business elsewhere when the web looks lik…

Of course everyone cares about looks. But the original poster says 'above other considerations'. For example I'd take an ugly noiseless laptop over a slick one with fans. Also, ver…

Does anybody have experience with filing just the 'trackpad corners' on a dark-colored macbook?

I am in neither of these and nor is any of the many people I know with macbooks. I honestly do not understand why any average person would buy anything else than a macbook today.

Great article and happy to see that I'm not alone. I don't get why on such a well thought-out and built device as this, the corners are so sharp. From how I use the trackpad, the b…

I use browser only, then it is fairly easy to vibcode a userscript blocker, which does more or less the same as this app. It syncs between all devices as well. Of course, one can a…

For me, this is the maxim that governs speaking with someone defending a totalitarian regime. If the person has no issue that people have to be kept by force INSIDE for the country…

Lot of hate on Garmin sleep tracking in this thread, but I love it. Maybe it is not super accurate, but it was eye-opening for me to see how the score changes for the worse even wi…

The dissolution in acetone is nicely demonstrated here https://youtu.be/NF4VJJKTjy8?t=835 The guy does it in order to be able to pay with a prosthetic eye.

But you know this in advance! Try booking with Swiss, you also get a ton of upsell on insurance, car rental and what not. Then you sit in their business class seat and get an adver…

If by 'the gutter' you mean cheaper - thanks Ryanair! I don't like the experience of flying either, but there is no denying that it is accessible to anybody today, 20 yrs ago it wa…

I don't understand this hate on Ryanair. Just treat it for what it is, a super cheap airline if you avoid all the upsells. No one is being forced do fly with them.

On my phone, I have a faceid requirement on basically any app, so getting it ripped off my hands would be just a minor inconvenience. Laptop on the other hand... Many times working…

Agreed, as long as it has a low input latency and allows me to do some basic key re-mapping, I don't really care. Used iterm for a long time as well, but have not touched 95% of th…

I used iterm2 for ages, but then somehow defaulted to terminal.app. It is fast and that is basically all i need from a terminal emulator, everything else is taken care of by tmux.

I was motivated to learn Dvorak in order to get rid of bad keyboard habits. And happily stuck to it. Not sure that I type any faster, but it feels somehow as a more rhytmical, much…

This is called 'security thorough obscurity' - no one can mess with your computer in case that you forget to lock it (e.g. when you go make yourself coffee at work).

I guess that they are missing for good reason? Web notifications? Sparsely useful, 99% is just some clickbait website trying to feed you junk. Thanks Apple! The website look cool t…

That would also be my guess, but I live in western Europe.

It looks like a good value for money, but immediately after registering, I get this reply "After reviewing your updated customer information, we have decided to deactivate your acc…
