    I've had to use Google Sheets a lot recently, and it doesn't hold a candle to excel. There are a lot of basics missing esp. when it comes to charting. But I don't like excel much e…

    I also paid for ST3, but I switched to ST4 for the hardware accelerated rendering. I don't like their licensing policy anymore, so I just dismiss the purchase signs. I want to get …

    It's possible that Xbox serves as a loss-leader for introducing/keeping people in the brand. For kids who may only have chromebooks at school, and macs at home, an Xbox may be the …

    I'd argue that even as engineer 2, or VP of whatever, you're still replaceable. Outside whatever thin veil of prestige your job offers you, the larger world couldn't care less abou…

    Similar experience here. The only setups I can use for >1month are the Kinesis Advantage and MX Ergo, or the butterfly keyboard and trackpad. I've chocked it up to the super low tr…

    I'll add that my Bose headphones have also always have trouble in the wind. That's to that there not be something wrong with the airpods/bose, but Sony's have a distinct advantage
