Teams truly is terrible. The example I always give: There is absolutely 0 feedback to show a speaker when their mic is actively transmitting. When anyone else in a call speaks, a r…

Cal's podcast and books are a guilty pleasure of mine. Yes, he has a tendency to oversimplify. Yes, he can be a bit cheesy. But I think that his cheesy and simple presentation styl…

I've been running Chimera for a few months now on a all-AMD PC hooked up to my living room TV, and I've been pleased. I had previously set up Windows to launch big picture mode on …

wow, this is the first time I've wished that my 2013 3 had the infotainment system

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for on so many levels. +1 user.

One of my favorite websites. Ran has changed the way I think about a lot of things, especially urban living vs rural homesteading. Well worth reading through the archives, watching…

Once I got over his… interesting… affect, I found this to be a pretty enjoyable watch. Certainly there’s not much technical merit to the ideas, and I definitely wouldn’t want to st…

I do this to a lesser extent by putting scheduled meetings on my daily work to-do lists. It feels a bit silly sometimes (they’re going to get done whether I want them to or not), b…
