I have to admit, not working at a startup or FAANG-scale company, I'm amazed to see the place I work mentioned, even just as a note, on here. Fun little double-take!

I absolutely agree that plaintext email should be kept alive, but is it really "many" for 99% of companies? I'd be shocked if anyone I know told me they disable html emails, even w…

In my experience with recent thinkpads, my battery life never really beats the w10 install it comes with. Not sure if there are some very clever windows-only optimizations or what,…

There was a straight up jailbreak app that got through the process with a single button and all it did was apply the exploit to your phone. So I guess I wouldn't put too much faith…

All my flights in Europe the last few years have had that as a part of the initial safety message

I've seen a lot of people talk about having a separate table for ids that should be removed when you restore a backup. It seems like a plan pretty viable solution, at least from wh…
