I might be wrong on this, but I vaguely recall that on macOS back when you could commonly option-click to reveal advanced options, if you held option when clicking a sort it would …

It’s crazy that Sonos used to* have local wifi mesh networking and they decided “the cloud is better”. * technically still does, but they tried to switch before they backpedaled

Meant to say “to deliver the same experience as Visual Voicemail” but accidentally posted it from my pocket before I could finish writing it out.

And the ability to undo deleting voicemails. And record voicemails client side using AI transcription to deliver thnesss

Unfiltered web browsers might be harder to come by these days than when I was growing up, but they still exist. I remember finding out by accident that certain restricted apps woul…

I agree with most of this post, except the part where you could actually do it. I’ll be the first to admit that I was not in server rooms back then but I’ve heard from those who we…

Edit: I just noticed the list of supported countries (in my link below) includes Canada but excludes the French-speaking province of Quebec. It seems a bit spiteful to go so far as…

Good points. And it probably isn’t formaldehyde. The only thing I’ll add is that formaldehyde can inhibit or kill bacteria. And I also recently learned the hard way that limonene o…

Electronics and tightly sealed houses, both of which the Amish might avoid, together allow for a lot more formaldehyde build up indoors. My pet theory (with no proven evidence exce…

Isn’t it possible though, that if a role is gender stereotyped or if senior managers are a particular gender, that those of the other gender might need to prove themselves more to …

Or perhaps formaldehyde release from hair spray and other chemicals partly due to the heat of the hair dryer, but also released because of the agitation and wind. Technically I thi…

Can’t speak to this exact circumstance, but more generally: The ONT translates the SFP+ networking to fibre optic, but the modem is still somewhat necessary for logins if you use P…

I vaguely remember that being the start of the browser prompts to set your current browser as the default. It was so hard to just configure that they had to build a way to set it w…

While there might be incompatibilities with GPL and the App Store due to Apple’s insistence that developers must accept Apple’s terms to run Xcode and apps on developer devices, LG…

Yeah. I've seen some split between low vs high doses, where the first two doses cost less than the rest - a cynical take is that they want to make it cheaper to get started knowing…

It wouldn't surprise me if they picked who would be included based on which drugs should be relatively price flexible yet cost a lot. I've noticed that ozempic/wegovy prices have d…

Well, there is this: https://clienttest.ssllabs.com:8443/ssltest/viewMyClient.htm... But you’d have to test your own clients. One imagines though that with enough clients connectin…

Except it's not actually true. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/clients.html highlights that many clients support standard SSL features without having to update to fix bugs. How muc…

Define the objective metric that you would use to assess a candidate's work ethic or reputation credit score. Would LinkedIn issue it, as if it were a popularity contest? And come …

Haven't looked into this too deeply but there is a difference between delaying a response (requests get stuck in the tarpit) vs providing a useless but valid response. This approac…

In this day and age that seems increasingly like a solved problem to most end users, often a client-side issue or using a very old method of generating a PDF? Modern PDF supports f…

It can vary by implementation need. Can you send a time-limited secret as a login link to someone's email as a replacement to entering or managing passwords? Can you use PassKeys? …

PassKeys are definitely the future, they aren't just device-specific, they can be synced also. https://www.corbado.com/blog/nist-passkeys talks about this, though I'll admit I have…

For browserless, I was referring to a 2019 article that I could have sworn was newer than that, on the need for OAuth 2.1 that also covers how they added OAuth for Native Apps (Cod…

Signal can be a bit weaker on the watch up here in Canada but is otherwise adequate. The problem with Apple Watch cellular when not using an iPhone to forward data is (1) battery l…
