    The very first thing I did with Kagi was block Pinterest. Very satisfying to see that the top 6 most blocked domains are all Pinterest.

    I use bitwarden and I don't understand the question. My phone gives me a popup on text boxes to enter credentials. There's also a bitwarden button on my keyboard. I scan my thumb a…

    I keep trying to use Jetbrains Gateway. It spins up the IDE on a remote machine and renders it locally. I honestly can't find a use for it. My personal machines are ancient quad co…

    Consumers can only make a choice if there is a choice. If nobody sells a TV that doesn't spy on you and play ads because of collusion, or simply because it's the single best profit…

    Hold up, we've identified a mechanism that all cancer cells posses and healthy cells don't? That's almost unbelievable. I wonder how something like that comes about? Is there somet…

    Yeah, no way I'd ever trust something like this if it wasn't on hardware I control. You can't 100% trust some company to secure something this personal, but you know that you won't…

    A lot of people online have some really weird puritanical notions about medication that affects the brain. Basically all of them should be dismissed out of hand. Medication is fine…

    I desperately want this. But yes, the amount of data required is insane. Just off the top of my head: - browser history - SMS and call transcriptions - calendar - passive audio str…

    The entire content of this website is six bullet points and three or four sentences. You really need to do a lot better than that. It looks like the cheapest, shadiest, slapped tog…

    It's closer to using a CAD package and finding out you need to pay extra to save files. Which is a real thing that has actually happened. The functionality exists, the code already…

    In reality, you're still paying for the hardware. Don't think for a second that these 'optional' features don't figure into the price. Sure, maybe they have a lower markup if you d…

    In the context of weather, it should be implicitly clear that 100° is not in Celsius That would be spectacularly bad, and everyone around would be dead

    I really wish I'd went into physics in school. This all sounds deeply fascinating, but I just barely understand the top level of what you're explaining.

    It seems likely. Given that the copper atoms prefer to form a non-superconducting material, it makes sense that there would be regions where the energy is just right to form the co…

    Purity would affect superconduction. Consider grains of superconducting material embedded in a matrix of regular conductive metal. One of the theories for the behavior of this mate…
