I have (and still use) a 2019 mbp and it has had CPU thermal throttling issues since very early after I bought it new. Intel macs from that year were notorious for thermal throttli…

I hope this doesn't come across as toxic/negative, because I sincerely mean it to be constructive criticism. I clicked the link and left almost immediately for 2 reasons: 1. For so…

He's a less reliable source of information than ChatGPT was in 2023.

What happened to this?

Thank you! I'm working on a SAAS app for a niche industry and I keep putting things off because I'm a perfectionist, but I need to just launch the damn thing and perfect it later!

Amazon isn't the only company using USPS this way. It might be worthy of investigation, but Trump's motive here is to get back at Bezos for things that The Washington Post publishe…

Equally ironic: kowtowing to the wealthy has been the republican rhetoric for as long as I can remember. There's no question that Trump's motive here is to get back at Bezos for th…

It might be more expensive with this apples-to-apples comparison, but do you have any idea what the actual utilization of your linode server looks like? Unless that server is under…

Keep at it! All of that goes away and you'll have energy and clarity like you wouldn't believe.

With gmail you can use periods in the email address and gmail will ignore them. i.e. bob.smith@gmail.com is the same as bobsmith@gmail.com or even bo.bsmith@gmail.com.

You know, this is something that could be built as a "serverless" app for almost no cost using AWS services like SES, S3, Lambda, and DynamoDB. I'm sure that the VPS doesn't cost m…

I can't speak to why it wasn't invented sooner, but I do think that the biggest reason that they've taken off (pun?) is that they are much easier to fly and much more stable than a…

I noticed the google.tw from AWS instances that are hosted in the US. Seemed odd to me at the time, but it's even more odd that it's the same on workspace instances too.

I figured it out. Using the username/password as part of the URL string (i.e. https://emily@socialcast.com:demo@demo.socialcast.com/api/me... ) worked. I'm sure that there's a bett…

Can someone help me understand how to use Socialcast's API with PHP? I'd like to grab the data from this URL - https://demo.socialcast.com/api/messages/search.xml?q=enterprise (not…

The ASCII art caught my eye too. I can't help but think about all of the fun I had with ANSI art using TheDraw. Ahh, the good 'ol days!

What an awesome time in computing history. I sometimes find myself judging other IT guys by whether or not they have ever used a BBS.

I could see IPv6 pushing this along a little more, but I agree that humans are too lazy to deal with it. I currently have a home server, but my career is in information technology …

Forgive my ignorance, but I need to store some sensitive data in a MySQL database and this data will need to be retrieved and displayed to the user at a later time. I understand th…

Those are all good points. It would be something that you'd really have to stay on top of in order to ensure that your backups are happening. Bandwidth for restores would definitel…

FYI, they don't throttle bandwidth (anymore?). I know this because I started to go with Carbonite, but they throttle bandwidth to 256k. What's worse is that it gets even slower if …

I was just thinking - Wouldn't it be great if there were some sort of site that allowed people to trade disk space to use the backup to a friend feature? The only problem I see wit…
