Put the TV remote in a drawer and only use the Apple TV remote. With CEC enabled, that one remote will control power and volume for the TV and any connected audio devices. It'll al…

In addition to changing bar size, would you consider supporting a multi-level bar? This is a Windows (pre-11) taskbar behavior where you can drag the top of the taskbar bar up to a…

This is great, but I'd be more interested in seeing how congestion pricing impacts travel times for buses, specifically, (within and around the congestion zone, including express r…

Keys on shabbat is doable without an eruv¹²³. (It's not considered carrying if it's an integral part of your clothing.) Eruvs are more for strollers/carrying small kids, dessert/wi…

Verizon, actually. Not the mail tubes specifically, but they own Empire City Subway, a 130 year old company rents out sub-street conduit for telecom. Their tubes are visible when s…

They've been connected since 1991[1]. Amtrak runs trains from Canada/Chicago/Vermont into Penn using this connection. Trains run down Metro North's Hudson Line, through a junction …

I use ESET NOD32 and am happy with it. It does its job with "dignity" (no Norton-style hyperbolic popups), consumes little resources, and is inexpensive. It does a great job blocki…

The telephone network is international. The US is limited in its ability to enforce anti-spam laws against operations running out of other countries. (They also seem unwilling or u…

I have a Pi running Pi-hole, Home Assistant, Node Red, and some custom scripts. It uses a parts bin 2.5" laptop hard drive (via a USB to SATA cable) as the sole boot and storage me…

In the US, at least, the post office is entirely self funded. The junk mail actually subsidizes the “legitimate” mail.

The re-logging in problem can be solved via script. Check for the captive portal login page. If present, simulate clicking the log in button.
