Around my location (southern brazil) there are hundreds of species of stingless bees, living in colonies. Many (most?) produce honey too. I don't dispute that there are also lots o…

OTOH, if said dump happens during working (paid) hours...

"Vocal fry", aka "creaky voice". It's stereotypically associated with irritating young women. I like me a good rabbit hole that's interesting and also digs into stereotypes. Turns …

My LG does just that. The tv remote sensor stopped working (and broke again after servicing), so now the only way to use the TV is by the LG app on my phone.. which asks for permis…

This remembers me of the Modbook, back in... check notes... 2008? I'm old. They would take a Macbook, re-case it and transform it into a tablet. Super cool. Looks like they kept do…

Not sure if it adds anything, but a factoid I know is that CD timing is expressed in minutes, seconds, and frames, where each frame is 1/75th of a second. I'm not sure but I think …

for me 16gig is definitely not enough. I'm on a 36gb M3 and I have to reboot it every three to five days to have it behave again. I have normal dev apps open: a browser with jira, …

Most times the idea is implied. I'm trying to solve a problem with some tools, and there are better tools or even better approaches. ChatGPT (and copilot and gemini) instead all te…

Even worse: If you have any complaints, call a number we won't publish anywhere on our site and a robotic voice will just laugh at you.

My YT mobile pet peeve is that when you toggle the captions, an useless "Subtitles/CC Turned ON" is shown for 5 seconds.. OVER THE CAPTIONS! Most useless message ever, placed exact…

Of course it is not that simple. The more frequently you are stopped by the police, the greater the chance they will find something to charge you with. Since people of color are st…

macOS also does show desktop and apps for half a second when I reopen the lid, before falling back to showing the login prompt. super annoying. (M3 MacBook Pro, so reasonably new)

Water is used to displace debris and to carry it up to the surface. A cylinder of 30cm diameter and 10km deep would hold around 700k litres.

> ~59% multi-core performance uplift, or an average of ~16% per M* generation. +59% in 4 years is equivalent to 12% every year. percentages compound exponentially.

DNA analysis can be used to profile you. Health risks, ancestry, genetic conditions. This could be used to deny insurance coverages and employment opportunities due to perceived he…

The association between your DNA and your name and contact details IS both sensitive and private though. Let's not be disingenuous: the dna companies don't just store dna snapshots…
