> Is this right? Wouldn't it be base-3 encoding? Three bits of binary can count to 8. Three trits of base three can count to 27. Color has all sorts of disadvantages but maybe a mu…

I had the same thing happen to my Pros, with one being much louder than the other and the noise cancelling barely working, and it turns out they just needed cleaning. A couple year…

I'm not sure why Notes needs to be bundled with the OS update, but Safari isn't. You can download Safari 17 for macOS Ventura as well! Only the features that require integration wi…

4 deaths per 50 million miles means it’s just under 1 death per 10 million miles. That would put riding a one wheel for 1 mile at the same risk as biking 1 mile, walking 2 miles, o…

I noticed this too, but it seems to have dropped off. In the month or so after I migrated from Google to Zoho I had a ton of spam, and was considering other options. But since then…

Most likely. I know mine blocks all new domains for the first day or two after registration.

UltraTrac on my Fenix 5 is pretty useless though, you may as well not be recording at all at that point. I'm not sure if it's gotten better on the more recent watches, but the repo…

> because you're not taking money for the service there is no real liability Just because you're not taking money doesn't mean you can break the law without liability! Even outside…

In an all-party consent state you would need everyone in the call to consent for recording to be legal, but even in one-party consent states you would still at least need OP's cons…

I don't think they were trying to say Arizona is the alternative California people would move to. I think they were saying it's the state that's going to feel the effects of prolon…

I've always turned off Turbo Boost on my Intel laptops anyway, because of the heat/battery hit. If I was doing something that I really wanted the extra speed and I was plugged in, …

Can you not reply from a user+foo@example.com alias? I use the catchall approach (so just foo@example.com when signing up for foo), but if I need to email customer support I'll jus…

The biggest advantage of smart lights I've noticed (I have the Hue Color Ambiance) is the simulated sunrise. No matter what time you want to wake up, it'll gradually get light just…

There are lots of small vendors (especially at farmers markets) still using the swipe only Square reader. This will presumably allow them to start accepting contactless as well. Th…

Actually, you do have a right to fly on a private service once they've let you board. This wasn't the case yet in 2017, but the TICKETS Act clearly states: > if the gate agent acce…

I've got a 6" Celestron, and I think it would be capable of following a plane that's sufficiently high up. It can slew a max of 5°/sec, so that would be ~500mph at 10000' or well o…

Colorado has 32 ski resorts and Vermont 26. I don't think you need to go to the backcountry to avoid the crowds, just to a smaller lift serviced mountain.

I think this specific memory leak is only in Monterey. I definitely have to manually kill Control Center every few days otherwise it'll be using 20GB+ of RAM. Supposedly it's fixed…

From talking to a ranger here the issue in Boulder's parks (I don't know about elsewhere) is that they disturb nesting raptors. And that seems consistent with the fact that you are…

As far as I’m aware while it’s illegal to fly a drone from open space (either OSMP or BoCo), it’s legal from Boulder Parks and Rec. So any of the more urban parks are fine. And mos…

It supports an ACK, but unless you have a two-way i-gate nearby you should probably consider it to be a one-way protocol. All of the ones near me just go RF -> internet so there's …

If you don't need all of the speed, I'd recommend disabling power boost. My i9 laptop averages ~10-15W with it disabled, compared to the ~20W my fridge uses. Even when maxed out CP…

The iPhone 5s still receives security updates and is now 8 years old. And it's not on Apple's "vintage and obsolete" list, which means they still have repairs available. So it's no…

I'm no longer a new grad, and was onboarded long before COVID. I think those same problems, lack of productivity, understanding unable to tell expectations all applied even in-pers…

Works on iOS Safari, you just gotta enable WebGL 2.0 (Safari -> Advanced -> Experimental Features) in settings. Of course it requires a mouse/keyboard to be attached for the contro…
