    I too have ended up with a pen tablet. XP-Pen mini 7" Broke my wrist snowboarding which ended up with my wrist getting pinned back together. After it surgically "fixed" and healed …

    Haha, thank you! I have many fond memories playing Marble Blast on a G5 iMac as a teen, I think it came to our Internet-less house bundled with the iMac along with Glider Pro which…

    I have a number with VOIP.ms, which I use with Softphone app Zoiper5. I'm going to attempt to transfer my Skype number over. VOIP.ms has a "availability" tool and it indicates its …

    I was under the impression that the 1Password database is synced and stored locally. If that is the case why would the servers having issues prevent logins to local databases, and …

    Not sure who's delivering them to in this instance but here in the Yukon Territory, Amazon has contracted a private company to deliver their parcels. I have them on video just thro…

    I live in the Yukon Territory, Canada... Not 100% sure this explosion is what woke me this morning but: I woke up at 7:15 AM MST to what I though was a freight truck loading boxes …

    For downloads yes, if you account is banned that’s it. Still not perfect. But the games don’t necessarily have DRM on the the downloaded files. I own quite a few games I can just c…

    This is the second time that 1Password Co has done something that I consider a negative... The first one being them "hiding" the standalone version purchase link. Doesn't give me m…

    It is just a webkit wrapper. At least the last time I looked into it. UBlock Origin isn't possible. You can get some Apple sanctioned Ad-Blockers, but I think most (or all?) of the…

    Transmit is good too, although I really liked the Scheduling function YummyFTP had. It was great for setting a large download to 2AM when the DSL network wasn't overloaded. Wish Tr…

    Hmmm? For digital content, I pay a fee each month of which a certain amount is supposed to go towards the artists. Netflix Canada $14.99/month Disney Plus $11.99/month Amazon Prime…

    That's why the 2012 MBP is under my desk 99% of the time collecting dust. I use it mostly for command line applications through homebrew these days. Haven't quite figured out a goo…

    I've had that for what I though was 2 years, so I looked it up and it appears they partnered with Apple back in Jan 2019. https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/15/18183653/duckduckgo-app…

    Never heard of that technique before! Found some videos from Ben Horne about it, that explain it well to a non medium format shooter. Quite a cool way of adjusting the DOF on a sce…
