Well shit. If this is right, I'm dropping Backblaze and recommending all my friends/customers do the same. I pay for and rely on Backblaze as the "back up everything" they advertis…

Spectacular! I haven't played minesweeper in many many years.... learned that the Mac trackpad has very inconsistent right-click detection. Frustrating!

The solution here is to stop at every yellow light. If it's timed very fast, spend the entire red holding down your horn. Enough people protest predatory lights in this fashion, ei…

I wonder if it was an option to say "okay", continue circling, then declare a fuel emergency and land. Seems like ATC was being a dick here. Not sure: 1) How long this would take 2…

I'm not sure I buy this. If someone can hack this together for $40 HDMI cables are an option (albeit a terrible one). For EVSEs, there really isn't a reasonably-priced alternative …

I was with them until I read that they voluntarily floated out without a motor and had to safety equipment. There's just no excuse for this. You can get nasty old (but viable) clas…

I'm in my 40's and want to go for a ride. I suspect I'd appreciate it for reasons different than a small child, but I'd appreciate it all the same. Just.... wow.

Wait, is this not going to have the usual "pair of wires you short to turn it on" feature of every furnace made so far? That's the ultimate control for when all the cloud features …

I have really mixed feelings about this. Not a fan of typical government jobs, but the FAQ reads so much more like a startup. Is it true? What does the compensation look like (broa…

I doubt it. That's a really hard problem. Ignoring the machine vision component, if someone on the side of the road waves at their friend, should cars going by stop? Since there's …

I'd say you need to make the vector. They are simple enough that a tracing program could do it with high accuracy, but any graphic logo I buy definitely needs to be scalable and cl…

I'm surprised, always thought the Rackspace premium price was to prevent or significantly reduce these issues. That being said, I've had quite a few problems with them over the las…

I'm a recent convert to Tailwind, like your builder a lot. Any chance you can/will integrate the TailwindUI components for those that have purchased them? For me, that would be kil…
