Yeah.. no, thanks. I make coffee and sit by the pool for that, or bike around town before the heat sets in. I commuted for 20 years and, sure, I had lots of time to think, but it a…

That's worse though. Cutting a program that had been successful for decades is short sighted, but people tend to begin focusing on the cost of prevention after so long. Memories fa…

Unfortunately, even if you upgrade there are still upgrade prompts for an even higher version of Workspace and gemini. Recently screen sharing a document I noticed a new "omg pleas…

Plenty are whining now and that doesn't seem to bother them. I mean, this is one of the largest companies in the world. This is the company that once told people they were holding …

They don't have to support it, just document the system or release their own kernel code. They don't even have to mention Linux.

As a long time Linux user, this comment makes me sad since many of those features were copied from Linux (many from Unity) :)

Yes, as I explained. He's happy with it. He doesn't care about the OS just wants it to launch programs like it's supposed to.

Have you read the article? There's real frustration with Windows. It's so bad that my 15 year old, who only really uses his computer to launch Steam, asked me to help him install L…

This is great. Also, as somebody going through this change for the second time, I'll add that things come in waves. Sometimes grief, sometimes loneliness, sometimes regret, etc. It…

The last lines on the page are a FAQ -- "You can find your favorite apps [...] under the Apps section in the left navigation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot web app." Wow

If it "reeks" though it's not just water vapor. I see a lot of these cars too, and you can tell it's been going on for a long time when the back of the car is covered in a layer of…

Well maybe your health data picks up a heart condition you didn't know about. Maybe you don't know but your car insurance drops you due to the risk you'll have a cardiac event whil…

Sure.. I just was addressing the goal makes sense that drivers are not impaired. Of course nobody is perfect.

Congrats! I could see the value of this, for sure. I handle this problem by spinning up a preview environment in a namespace. Each branch gets its own and a script takes care of se…

That's probably not the thing to tell a parent whose kid just made a dent and a black smudge on a MachE. I don't want to over index on the "think of the kids" argument, but we don'…

And it just happened to me again. I got a new phone and my personal payment account went into some verification status and I can't use my wallet. Even though Google itself moved th…

Well, it would be good for the rest of us on the road if people driving two tons of murder box are 0% impaired. I'm no angel but I have gotten more diligent... I'm just reacting to…

Oh no, this is just a Google thing. I've done the same verification bs for four different companies now, multiple times for each of them. I just keep an image of my license on my c…

Anthropic is a Public Benefit Corporation.. It's goals are AI "for the long-term benefit of humanity," which seems like it would benefit humans a lot more if it were openly availab…

For real. I've been hearing the interface is slow and requires Javascript for years and never really paid much mind, it worked for me. But lately the page loading has gotten abusiv…

Well, tech has progressed in the couple of years since I looked at things. The best thing to do is to get a good audiologist who can recommend devices that work best for the kind o…

My son is 14 and has a moderate to severe loss. During his younger years we had a big clunky behind the ear type of aid and it was fine for a while. But tech progressed and we star…

Maybe `heritable`?
