Not going to lie, I never would have thought someone could sell those for $10/each.

Same here and on my laptops I don't need the extra finger touch. It just works. I have had a work MPB for years and while the touchpad is nice I just use the other touchpads with n…

Funny enough I recently came across this video [1] about ultra-processed foods maybe being labeled "predigested". It sort of got me thinking but makes an interesting point that if …

I wish that was so straight forward. You can google this incident where an empty lot got a 35K water bill and the water company said it was an error, then backtracked on that and s…

The OP must be talking about eastern Alaska ;)

Agree, I wish the manufactures would do something to reign in these costs as it is doing a disservice to EVs. Anyone on the fence about purchasing a BEV, a headline like this doesn…

The only thing I can think of is the high voltage. I don't mind working with 220v but anything higher I tend to shy away with. I think some of the voltage systems in the battery pa…

That is impressive!

For one off for technical folks on both ends I like the magic-wormhole cli tool. https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole

100% agree with #4. Enjoy it while it lasts though. All the Aldis near us for us have removed almost all of the checkout lines for the self check out. They are the worst. Imaging s…

100% agree with this. IMO there are a few efforts to modernize PLC programming but I feel like they are still stuck in the 1990s software development. Take a look at Codesys, got G…

There are a few products that take the RPI and turn it into a PLC. Here is an example of one [0]. 0 - https://revolutionpi.com/

I was thinking the same thing. Been using catch-all for about 7 years with zero issues about that.

I was thinking the same thing. Either you go Amazon or you don't get it for some book. It is pretty dismal experience to be honest. Of course there are "other places" you can find …

If it the popey from podcasts he used to work at Canonical. Actually looking at this confused, popey also came up with the snap removal tool that is handy https://github.com/popey/…

Hard pass. I'm slowly been dumping Ubuntu due to the force snaps down your throat strategy they have. Still irritated I have to jump through hoops to get Firefox without a snap.

> 25gbit symmetrical available Unless I was building a data center, think AWS/Azure, 25gb would not even be an option given I would want to burn money in the US.

You may find this interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR5gefU87TY (t 6:12). Sadly it didn't pan out.

I thought resort fees were a Las Vegas thing. Are other places doing it as well? I hope not as it get very expensive very quickly.

I feel the same, been remote for 15 years and all this reinventing stuff and challenges seem a little weird to me. There was remote work companies before COVID that had been learni…

Unfortunately it gets worse in other countries such as Mexico. Most carriers will only provision a eSIM if you are on a contract through them. So lets say you are traveling for US …
