The cash grabs from this band is insane, they are basically KISS at this point.

i am surprised (am i really?) that apple never implemented a toggle to E2EE your icloud backup, just like you can backing up locally through itunes. thankfully you can just complet…

I went through the entire process of learning Colemak-DH last year, and made sure to maintain my ability to type QWERTY. I would bring my reprogrammed HHKB to work every day, and s…

Last year during a couple month break I had between jobs I decided I would learn a new keyboard layout as it was something I always wanted to do, but never wanted to commit to the …

Alan Thrall (owner of Untamed Strength in Sacramento) has discussed this a few times (most recently in this video[0]), but basically independent gyms don't really see this effect. …

I enjoy that there is now so many options to share a beer with someone without the alcohol, but I am one and done. It’s calorically like drinking full sugar soda and most bars I’ve…

The only feature keeping me subscribed to Spotify is their Spotify Connect feature. Being able to seamlessly cast to all of my devices directly from the Spotify app is invaluable a…

I have long since switched to only doing local encrypted backups, but for some reason it never clicked that of course all of my messages are included in other people's backups. Fru…

If it is just happening with a specific record (especially a picture disc) it's likely not your stylus and just the pressing. You can give cleaning your record and stylus a shot an…

Never understood all of the hype that the Model M got. It was made purely as a cost reduction to the Model F and it got "worse" in almost every way. I can't stand typing on a Model…
