Perhaps I was a shade too facetious. But honestly, you thought the Pi 3+ was so significantly different from the 3 that you imagined it might finally make your use case worth it? I…

Still loving mine as well. I held out with the 2016 SE for 8 years. Sadly it's looking like I might have to do that again with the 13 mini! It boggles my mind that Apple thinks it'…

Much easier: switch to the Sequoia public beta channel!

I love the linux philosophy at work here. Pandoc is an incredible tool that every documentarian knows. Markdown is a great tool that covers 80%+ of docs requirements (admonitions a…

It's even sadder. Apple has some of the best-performing CPUs on the market. And even with that kind of power under the hood, iOS, iPadOS, and macOS 26 chug and choke and drop frame…

Unfortunately for Apple, Linux has not rotted the same way that macOS has. Will Linux win the desktop wars through attrition because it won't suffer the same enshittification as fo…

Have you considered that there is a difference between: - food, a thing that literally every human needs every 24 hours (really 6-12) to continue to live - GenAI, a new product wit…

Agreed wholeheartedly about the error message. Death by a thousand cuts to indie devs. I'm not sure it's such a terrible idea to disable quarantining if you know what you're doing …

Quite the difference in installation procedure between iOS and Android :-)

There's been a lot of activity on Reddit and Android tech news websites. /r/Pixel4a has been absolutely busy with activity lately, lots of people asking for help. Decent summary po…

I feel the same way about my Subaru's EyeSight system. It helps me stay in the lane, and annoys me if I get distracted and cross a line. It slows down the car automatically when it…

I'm pretty impressed by the KVM feature -- it's a little weird that you need to use USB A for the second computer's USB hub connection, but I'm pretty happy with it in general. FYI…

> Moreover, we demonstrate our attack at a real-world NPR located in an anonymous bioresearch facility, which is FDA approved and follows CDC guidelines. Wow indeed. A real-world l…

Well said. In their docs they actually call out this exact issue, and mention that they'd like to improve it in the future, but it would require significant work and that's not nec…

Adding to this: ~30% off Keychron keyboards ( https://www.keychron.com/pages/bfcm-2022 ) for those who've been burned by Razer peripheral drivers before. I love my keychron, if you…

I've gotten two great "deals" this week. The first: I bought "unlimited" worldwide maps from Osmand, which I use a TON for offline maps when I bike. It's $9.99 for unlimited worldw…

You can remove white/back backgrounds from images as well, with the "Magic Lasso" selection tool. Adjust the selection level until it covers the object you want, cmd+c to copy that…

Woah, that's wild! I've lived in mostly wooden houses in the Northeast for most of my life, and it seems to happen to one or two people in every community per year. It's mostly a p…

That might be typical for new builds, but it varies a lot by region. Much of the northern half of the country is still burning propane, pellets/wood, or fuel oil for heat.

For those of us who live in a place that reaches freezing temperatures for months on end, there's no choice. If I don't heat my house, my pipes will freeze and I'll be out thousand…

Curiously, I actually like their reasoning behind the blog post: > With our lives so online, our digital space can get messy with inactive and unnecessary accounts — and forgetting…

Quick question: is that proper usage of "parsimoniously"? I've only seen it used as a synonym for "stingy," which is close, but not quite the same as the "succinctly" synonym usage…

A good question to ask. I think you're spot on about most tech companies. But I don't believe this kind of behavior will incentivize high performers to stick around. In fact, I wou…

Really taking that two-pizza team idea to the extreme!
