This -- with the M5 Max MBP is running flat out, you'll go from full battery to empty in under two hours. While it is wild to have this much power in a take-it-anywhere laptop form…

Are you really making the argument that human flight hasn’t been effectively achieved at this point? I actually kind of love this comparison — it demonstrates the point that just l…

Second hand electronic shelf labels are a lot of fun to tinker with as well. Check out OpenEPaperLink if it’s something you’re curious about: https://github.com/OpenEPaperLink/Open…

I’m still annoyed by the little things — like the fact they switched from a very native looking 1Password toolbar icon in Safari to the ugly full color icon. https://1password.comm…

Octal on iOS also handles it correctly.

I’ll be honest, this was around 2005-2008 — it was a long time ago and at the time I really enjoyed the ritual of it all. The main advice I can give you is to use ripping software …

Not the same as what you are talking about, but your comment reminded me of AccurateRip [1] which I used to make extensive use of back when I was ripping hundreds of CDs every year…

Maybe think about going with the cheap table saw and spending the remainder of the money to get a nice track saw. Of course, there are some things that you really do need a table s…

Not sure about Android, but on iOS a three finger tap will bring up a contextual menu which allows undo and redo, among other actions.

They have been quite good in my experience. I particularly like the T5 4.7 and 2.13 which include integrated e-paper displays.

I guess the risk involved isn't substantially different from eBay, but I've had pretty good luck selling Apple hardware and phones via Swappa: https://swappa.com

The beauty of something like this is that its easily battery powered. It won’t be the fastest or most powerful option, but it’s an awesome tool to have on hand for repairs that are…

The headline misses the mark here IMO. This actually seems really great, and critically it appears to make it very easy to help fix errors in ISP provided data. For my location, th…

Those advertisements do universally have a disclaimer at the bottom of the screen along the lines of "Professional driver, closed course, do not attempt", at least in the US.

I really miss the simplicity of Rancher and their Cattle orchestrator circa 2016 or so. Kubernetes is way, way to much for many teams to be able to operate properly. It can be done…

Wikipedia link for some background — I hadn’t heard of this before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms

Tangential (and not my area of expertise), but I do know that the Ingenuity helicopter uses an off-the-shelf Snapdragon 801 SoC. As I understand it that is very unusual for any pro…

The feature isn’t “locked” — it’s just a configuration option on one of the control modules in the car based on the original build configuration. Keep in mind that a specific modul…

Funny — I get more spam from LinkedIn than anywhere else.

So in practice, to exploit this someone would have needed to have been connected to the same local network at some point in time. Yes, it’s still a vulnerability and Wyze should ha…

I get what you are saying, but long lived, highly destructive tornados like this one are downright terrifying. Initial reports are that this tornado was three-quarters of a mile wi…

How did they manage to get so many basic facts wrong in one article? Anyone whose used a lithium ion battery in bellow freezing temperatures knows that it has a huge impact on the …

There is nothing special about the brakes on a b5 Passat and there are tons of aftermarket and OEM spec replacements available on the market. The labor for a replacement clutch rep…

I'm really surprised at just how much I like my Apple TV. I (wrongly) assumed it was a bit of a joke of a product for many years. The latest 4k model is ridiculously fast (despite …
