This music video was the reason we decided to upgrade the CD-ROM drive on our family computer, since it could not play without stuttering on our existing one.

I am going through something very similar. My entire family is on the same T-Mobile plan, and on recent iPhones - however, my wife's phone is the only one where RCS fails to work o…

Reminds me of this scene from Real Genius: https://youtu.be/wB1X4o-MV6o

I remember hanging out in #mpeg3 on EFNet many many years ago and becoming an acquaintance of Justin Frankel while he was working on this. I had made a skin and even a few tray ico…

Another project that is still going as far as I know: https://internet-in-a-box.org/

Meanwhile, I've had two USW-Lite-16-POE's fail just outside their two year warranty period, alongside a CloudKey and other equipment from them. It's just junk and they don't stand …

I have never had a truly successful (by my standards) auto park with my Tesla (with USS). It either fails to "enable" - meaning I can't even start it - or it takes so long to do it…

Used gandi for forever, then they had a major hardware issue and lost customer's data and kinda was rude about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22001822 - so I decided to m…

I had a weird issue the other day (two days ago?) too where trying to load Microsoft Store/check for updates would just completely freeze the program. And also my start menu would …

I think you mis-read me - what I was saying is, if the repo maintainers wanna just say no, we don't wanna comply - they're fine to do that I guess, I personally think it would be s…

The response from the repo owner is so bizarre. I believe Cassidy presented his viewpoint (on behalf of the org) pretty straightforward and "nicely", and it feels like the repo mai…

I switched to Joplin a while back when Evernote decided to implode itself, and stopped iterating on their product. Now I send auto-donations to Joplin devs via Github Sponsorship. …

I use a Rainforest https://www.rainforestautomation.com/ device to read my own meter on SDG&E and it works, I think I had to go through an auth process though.

Just use https://privacy.sexy/ or ShutUp10: https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 to do this, probably much safer - and in Privacy.Sexy's case, you get the exact script (and undo…

The bottom line is, there's no reason to request the non-HTTPS connection in the first place. And there's apparently no checks in the app to make sure it's connected to their real …

There is nothing new here, though. Apple isn't the one using "the algorithm", the banks are. I watched the interview, and it didn't address why they're targeting Apple other than i…

I like DHH for the most part, but sometimes on stuff like this, seems so out of touch. This isn't an Apple-created problem - credit scores/etc. are deeply flawed. We all know this.…

Also, PBS Kids Video straight up wouldn't play videos at all unless I whitelisted certain analytics domains.

> It's either online multiplayer or it isn't, there's not really an in-between Except there is - have you played recent games like Watch_Dogs 1 or 2? Your single player gaming is i…

This is exactly what I do, and it's worked beautifully for me. (domainname)@mydomain.com is pretty standard/easy, and storing it in password manager makes it even easier.
