I just recently switched the email associated with my Xbox account from the Hotmail I created in '98 or '99 to my current email address. That Xbox account is probably the oldest ac…

There is a setting to allow location for the "Networking and Wireless" system service. I wonder if disabling that would prevent this from working?

Came here to say the same thing! Whenever I'm using my work PC the alt-tab behavior of windows drives me nuts.

If you're in a city, get a dog assuming you're ok with the responsibility that comes with having one. About 5 years ago my wife finally wore me down and we got an English Bulldog. …

> Ninety-eight percent of drivers who try Lyft’s maps stick with them — rather than switching to Google, Apple, Waze, or any other app. I find this surprising because my personal e…

I have ADHD, and this is how I use Slack too. Works wonders and makes it manageable. Another thing I've found useful is just leaving channels where I find little to no value. If th…

I live in Manhattan and my wife and I just had our first kid a few weeks ago. We've been talking about it for months now, but we want our kid to have that kind of independence and …

how does that work for controllers through?

At a past job for a while we did Kanban with the sprint as a time box and it worked really well for the constraints we were working in. When we had work with deadlines, we'd flag t…

I've been using Overcast (iOS) since it launched. Marco has done a lot of work with his Smart Speed and Voice Boost features over the years and they're a core part of what keeps me…

I struggled with trigonometry in high school, to the point that I had to repeat the class twice. Each time I took the class it was the exact same lesson, and I struggled. During my…

I'm currently working on an MVP and moved it over to railway.app Overall the process was smooth, the React + Vite frontend app was up and running as soon as I connected GitHub and …

If you don't mind using MDM you can get something akin to roaming profiles on iPads. It's an enterprise feature, but it was introduced sometime during iOS 13. I agree though, nativ…

Not the same thing by a long shot, but you can turn on "Hide Alerts" for group chats. My wife has all of her long running group chats set to this to prevent alerts all day when her…

I know it should probably be on the org itself to inform new users that those settings are being used, but I wish that Slack would do a better job of letting users know too. It's a…

Google interviews sound awful if I'm being honest. The last recruiter I spoke with said it involved a technical test and phone interview, after which they'd see what teams had open…

Glad I'm not the only cynical one ;)

That's still a huge burden to put on a woman. My wife is 6 months pregnant and even being white and fairly well off financially it's been a struggle for her. She's been extremely s…

I feel like saying "Free for existing users with a current subscription" would be a lot more clear. I'm a customer who owns an older perpetual license and a lapsed subscription but…

Other have said it, but you should probably take some time off. And by that I mean, actually take time off without checking email or slack, or quickly helping put out a fire. I wor…

Couldn't agree with this more. At my last company there was a fair bit of time put into making the deployment process for our microservices as simple as added a new YAML file to th…

+1 for taking small steps. As someone who's dealt with anxiety for years, it's one of the most reliable ways for me to actually make progress when I'm overwhelmed. I'll typically t…

While it’s frustrating to deal with situations like this, in my experience Apple doesn’t have a problem compensating customers for the trouble. I’ve gotten free iPhones, an upgrade…
