If you haven’t already heard of it, you might enjoy the Piano Puzzler podcast[0] “Bruce Adolphe re-writes a familiar tune in the style of a classical composer … [someone calls in a…

Your story reminded me of one of my own: A few years back I was helping clear out my parents’ garage, as they were having plumbing issues and needed a path cleared for the plumber.…

My comment edit window closed, but if you trust me , I also made up a quick little pre-baked shortcut that should be fairly user-friendly[1]. Will prompt for date range input, calc…

I'm sorry, seems I misspoke. It seems that when you look at an album in Photos you can select all; if you're in the camera roll or elsewhere, you won't get that option. Not sure wh…

Have you tried using the Files app for image/file transfers? You can add Samba (and other) shares in there by tapping the '...' in the upper-right corner, hitting 'Connect to Serve…

I found Krunner entirely by accident after switching from Windows. PowerToys has a quick launcher that's triggered with Alt+Space. Used the shortcut out of habit after switching to…

I can’t say that I’m terribly surprised. AT&T has been complicit in mass surveillance in the past. The first example that comes to mind is Room 641A: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik…

I reluctantly admit that a friend recently tricked me with something similar using a website called “Peter Answers” Same exact concept: you ask a question, your friend types a “pet…

I got around this limitation by adding my home NAS to the Files app. On the iOS side: set up the SMB connection in Files, hit the Share button on files I want to transfer, point it…

I definitely believe that. Years ago, I had an interview scheduled with a bank’s IT department. Checked their Glassdoor page and it was littered with negative reviews, with obvious…

This “hold an object while falling asleep” technique sounds very similar to a technique I read about maybe 15 years ago at an avant-garde sleep away arts camp. It was in the contex…

This is especially disappointing considering CBS owns what seems to be one of the more popular sports statistic suites: https://www.statcrew.com/

It looks to me that this is a similar concept to those malicious “virus alert” websites that instruct you to call someone in India. Then (after some fearmongering, and maybe bullyi…

That Stephen Malinowski link was great. I don’t know that song by name, but I could unmistakably tell what song it was just by looking at the visualization (even though I left the …

You should like the JSR site then! The creators have put a lot of love into their site. They have multiple music stations, multiple “TV” channels, a graffiti board, and a chat box …

If you like video game music in the background, you might like these sites: Rainwave (general VGM): https://rainwave.cc/all/ Jet Set Radio (more high-energy, but they have a lo-fi …

Speaking of Krisp, I’m curious about other people’s experiences using their noise suppression with Discord. I personally had it enabled (by accident) for over a week, and during th…

I spent a bit of time on Recompose’s site a couple of months back out of curiosity. One of the things that stuck out to me was that there were stipulations regarding a person’s med…

What you said makes perfect sense but I still refuse to use a platform whose founder called people “dumb fucks” for trusting him and using the platform.

I want to think they’re referring more to the culture of doing things you wouldn’t normally do in order to gain popularity. Like that one girl who drank a ton of Benadryl. The prob…

My experience in tech support was similar though, of course, it also depends on the person. I’ve met CAD folks who didn’t understand a password reset, and secretaries who gave grea…

I’d have to see more of the can design but this looks weak to me. The 'S' and 'E' are each one color. The ‘X’ is both red and blue, and seems to only exist because part of a 'P'(?)…

Cuba is amazing at making the most of what they have. I hadn’t heard of SNET before this, but I know they’ve kept classic cars running for decades out of necessity

I just ordered some WD Reds and a Synology box a couple of days ago, not knowing about this issue. Should I cancel the HDDs and go for another brand, or will I be okay if I don’t u…
