Exact same question as you. When the new ChatGPT app dropped it suggested to me to set up a task something like (paraphrased) “every Monday read my Gmail and Slack an make a summar…

Even if Lightning was possibly a nicer or smaller connector; nothing beats a true industry standard. Makes the entire “what chargers and cables to bring to connect my stuff” questi…

It definitely has the Vaporwave aesthetic. Would love to try and test this for usability.

Reading your reply, I think we have different definitions of “incredibly easy”.

I enjoyed OiNK and What.cd but ultimately their ratio requirements killed that joy. At some point the “market” was saturated. 99% of music was on the site, and every release had pl…

> I generally suspect folks would be a lot happier if they'd had a few more crap jobs as a baseline! Fully agree. I cleaned a potato processing plant at night. They had to stop pro…

I always understood it as "the further from the (dirty/basic) Earth, the more luxurious".

(At least in Europe) Toyota used to name their models "Sol", "Luna" and "Terra" as well. Sol had all the trimmings, Terra had the least. It sounded nicer than something like "Luxur…

I agree there might be a more or les arbitrary border, and it will probably be in different places for different people. However the original statement: > The CEO’s extracurricular…

Let's draw this to its ultimate conclusion. Would you subscribe to an excellent VPN service, if it was run by [insert universally abhorred brutal dictator from history here]?

Unfortunately, somehow AirPods also at random go from my wife's iPhone to my iPad. And then when she "steals" them back switch to my Mac a minute later. Doesn't matter that they ar…

My experience with German colleagues is not efficiency; but they do have a remarkable ability (in my field) to read a 400 page regulator rulebook and overlay it on a 200 page desig…

Days of our Lives is staged and so is The Godfather. Yet one is not like the other. Valve staged a scene of two people playing a game like how most people play a game. Just like th…

Beautifully said. Engineering is often just a cost center and I often have the feeling management is suspicious that the engineers are just wasting time and throwing up roadblocks …

Always appreciate people answering their own questions in great detail!

I bought my parents a M1 iMac in 2021. Connected a drive to it for Time Machine. Set up an admin account and wrote its password on a sticky note. Set up auto update. Gave a 5 minut…

+1 for Fastmail. I migrated from Gmail a few years ago. Setting up your own domain is peanuts. Migrating all your mail from Gmail is literally just clicking some buttons in the UI …

Me too. To be honest, I am not that interested in reading the first 5-10 search results to find what I am looking for. If Google can do that for me and summarize the main points, t…

Apart from the tone which is not my cup of tea either, I think what these types of articles/advice try to convey is that we (the working population) are still the monkeys we were t…

I’d be fine with America not wanting the world to feel “entitled to” it, if at the same time they’d stop feeling entitled to the rest of the world themselves. Vietnam. Middle Ameri…

May the world extend Americans the hospitality that the US has extended to the world in the last year.

All day every day my iPhone makes me feel like an idiot. I need to correct every other word I type (or at least what my iPhone thinks I typed). While correcting, autocorrect introd…

It's interesting the economic damage a few disgruntled WASP's in US swing states can do to the US economy by electing an orange toddler.

Idea! Maybe these now redundant humans can be turned into a kind of battery, so they serve as a source of energy for the machines? Perhaps it's then smart to make the humans have a…

> The obvious objection is that code produced at that speed becomes unmanageable, a liability in itself. That is a reasonable concern, but it largely applies when agents produce co…
