Apple has an iCloud connector for Windows. Wouldn't that work for you? For some of my pictures and media in general, I like Plex very much.

I found this on reddit (of course). Excellent way to aggregate data. Free market politics at its best

Couple of suggestions: Oracle's OCI has a free offering. One could use that as a mail relay. Also SpamHero has been a pleasure to work with with very reasonable pricing to filter m…

Let's not forget that these policies fostered the development of encryption in Canada, Australia and other countries (See SSLEay for example). So it ended up being counter-producti…

There are lots of systems that don't support ACME. Enterprise firewalls for example are just starting to support it. Lots of embedded devices still do not support it. Older enterpr…

Sometimes in 2016 we were working on a kitchen renovation and decided on a built-in double oven, and went with GE's offering. I seriously considered $ 300 more for the top-shelf of…

When I had a 2016 Mazda, I regularly downloaded their firmware, which at some point came fairly frequently. Like other manufacturers, their dealer portal posts firmware upgrades al…

The 5G twist is pure BS. These cars (Circa 2016) have no modem that connects directly to the head-unit, and if they do are a separate module that's 3G only. My theory is that the r…

I had Surface 3 Pro and it was a nightmare. In the end, the SSD died and the way the machine is glued together, it's impossible to open without breaking the screen. Before its fina…

There is minimal effort in a CLI app compared to a full-fledged web app. I also appreciate how much faster things are when there is a CLI REST APP instead of a GUI front-end for th…

Actually, as a tidbit, Chromium is a fork of WebKit, which is Safari's rendering engine, which for some reason started as a fork from Konqueror (KDE Linux desktop's browser). Googl…

I made the mistake of buying a Chumby clock (With Firmware signed by Sony, which likely maintained a VM somewhere to boot their clocks until they decided it wasn't worth the effort…

'authoritarian regime' is a slippery slope. There can be clear human violations, but at what point does a government become authoritarian? USA has plenty of violations on its shoul…

My takeaway is the author's complete disregard for PHP and other 'mature' languages.

A suggestion would be to treat destinations that do not need to traverse a gateway (ie local network) differently. Browsers would need to implement this. Further, they could presen…

The Velop series, from my own inspection, seems to be based on a custom (neutered) version of OpenWRT

I had the 1st two generation Pebbles, and now I'm using a Versa Lite. I do find a lot of resemblance on Pebble. Granted it's not open at all and their 'store' is, to me, much less …

Years ago, I worked on a project that required generating PDF invoices. Used the FPDF library and I was shocked how small the files are (including a properly sized logo) when gener…

So Facebook users are not the people using its service, but the advertisers that pay to collect data from them. Glad they made this abundantly clear. Facebook users are the product…

The problem isn't much about labor costs in the US, but the dismantling of the supply chain. Even Apple had problems sourcing screws when building a handful of its computers in the…

... Meanwhile Microsoft is busy buying Tik-Tok (eye roll)

Use Gitlab. Better yet, run your own instance of Gitlab

It's likely the closest 'London' near the user. Side effect of living in former British colonies.
