Get an HRV/ERV if you can't open a window.

I think Microsoft is the terminal state of a big tech company. Big tech companies will all eventually carcinize into Microsoft given enough time.

I do that, it seems like a self-reinforcing pattern I end up in after messing up my sleep schedule. I take a sleep aid (like Zzzquil) for a bit to get back on schedule. Caffine bef…

Arial has better support for some locales on desktop devices.

Algorithms and data structures aren't the problem, bundling Chromium to make a chat app is the problem. I think Rust's rise in popularity will probably lead to some benefits. Games…

I'd rather see some gobbledegook than extended pauses or idealized (read: fake) information. Those are specific tasks it is doing when you run that command, there's a simplicity to…

It's a joke.

I think that's true, but I am still frustrated with people who continue to use services that are openly hostile to them.

I think there's bigger fish to fry and it's hard to talk about when nothing matters to the people you're trying to convince.

If being user-hostile in tech created real consequences, Facebook would've shuttered 15 years ago. Sad to say but I'm guessing this is an effective strategy.

I don't know for sure but Bluetooth, WiFi and Zigbee are on the same frequency band. Z-Wave is not. (at least in the US, not sure about other countries)

I assumed it was laundering bad ideas, as in "it wasn't us being incompetent, we trusted the LLM!"

If you are naive enough to believe that, the moment you create problems for your bosses, you can be fired and replaced by some other naive person.

Personally I would wish for streamlined regulatory processes rather than being okay with any Tom/Dick/Harry creating health hazards next door because they overestimated their abili…

You can find places like that all over the world. They're slums. Maybe regulations put too much burden on homeownership but slums create huge issues as well. Basic plumbing shouldn…

I find the type of show makes a big difference, finding something thoughtful is important (and hard). We also like to set a time limit, usually 1-2 episodes to make the transition …

I run a Unifi Protect setup, local only. They don't provide a display, so I put a Raspberry Pi, a display, and an audio hat in an enclosure. It plays an rtsp stream from the camera…

Don't let old software break, don't use VMs/containers, don't use versioning: Pick two Microsoft is the only company to pick all three. That's not strategy, that's indifference.

Better to have a strategy for software compatibility and evolution vs Microsoft's strategy of doing nothing. Pretty much every game console ever made still works with every game fo…

Open-source Linux is great at updating old software. Most other OSes (Android, MacOS, iOS, game consoles) rely on versioning, which makes it easier to provide compatibility layers …

Windows is roughly 25% of the gaming market and I don't know why you're bringing up Linux. I haven't ever had a console unable to play a game built for it, just Windows.
