It's basically lived on my stovetop since arriving. It weighs nothing compared to my previous favorites (carbon steel skillets from Made In) while basically performing like a Ducat…

That was my breakthrough with both carbon steel and cast iron. Even if the seasoning is imperfect, it'll perform just fine if you preheat it thoroughly and oil it before use.

My current favorite pan is the best of all worlds - stainless clad outer layer, aluminum internal layer for efficiency in spreading heat and a carbon steel interior to develop non-…

What worked for me was handing them a credit card and transitioning myself out of the free tier. (I'd use the free credits they offer prior to doing this - they give you something …

Author here - Apple quietly introduced a native container runtime in macOS 26—and it doesn’t look like Docker/Podman under the hood. Instead of running all containers inside a sing…

My understanding is that the firmware has some sort of DRM and it’s being sold - not freely distributed. (Admittedly, the comment I saw mentioning cost pegged it at 1k, not 20k for…

“Gameboy-like device” - are they referring to Flipper Zeros with the firmware to exploit RF rolling codes? https://www.rtl-sdr.com/flipperzero-darkweb-firmware-bypasse...

My experience with more traditional (non-Whisper-based) diarization & transcription is that it's heavily dependent on how well the audio is isolated. In a perfect scenario (one spe…

They've been seeing more and more sponsors and presenters pull out in recent days. Better to cancel it and seem like you're doing the right thing than hold a poorly attended conven…

The academic job market was very different in 2006 than even a couple of years later. With the downturn came a flood of people staying on for grad school instead of looking for job…

Most large (and thus expensive) athletic programs are more than self-funding due to ticket sales and alumni donors. The real sucking force is all of the administrative positions th…

Most restaurants don't even list their good timeslots on OpenTable, as they're capable of filling those on their own. It's mostly used to list the less busy "collar hours" (the hou…

I had a similar issue after moving from Illinois to Wisconsin and getting new plates - but forgetting to update the plates within I-Pass. (So, I had a valid I-Pass, it was just on …

On iOS the “Unobstruct” app ($0.99 - no connection to me) removes the popover nicely. It’s also great for removing dickbars that block a horizontal slice of the page.

It's apparently a known phenomenon called "electrovibration" - I wound up googling it the first time that it happened. https://blog.somaticlabs.io/electrovibration-in-ungrounded-m.…

I've noticed #1 when traveling with the ungrounded attachment for the power brick and a type-F power adapter. At home I still use the old 3-prong cable from my previous gen MBP or …

> I always found it strange that Sony wasn’t able to do my more to get Vegas established as a leading video editing platform. Silos. Sony was (is?) a collection of companies that o…

One bit of SoFo lore that I was told on my first day: inspecting the metadata on one of the .wavs on win95 would reveal that it was edited using a cracked copy of Sound Forge. /EVE…
