For a brief, beautiful moment, one man came close to sucking more than any other person in human history.

I had a 2015 M5, it was easily one of the best Macs I've owned. Ultra-ultra-ultra portable, I had great battery life with mine, and it was as fast as my 2013 Macbook Pro. I used it…

Some say this brave adventurer met his end when the 5110 fought back against the insult to its sacred internals. Others say bestowing the power of 4G on a device as formidable as t…

I love Lightnote! I'm trying to get my kids into it as well. Awesome work.

I survived with a 12" Macbook and a solitary USB-C port. The one difference is that I did have an audio jack as well. I found a monitor that had a USB-C connection with charging, a…

No, I don't believe that it would be. In terms of "calories expended over distance", it'd be pretty close, but we're made for endurance, not raw speed. From what I understand, the …

I got into the game "kinda late" (first PC ran DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1), and I still cherish and adore the CLI, and can't imagine it ever going away (if it does, a little piece of …

I have: 1. An old i3 running TrueNAS after I decided my QNAP TS-503 was too old and shonky to be able to run Plex; 2. An ex-govt i5-6500 with 32GB RAM for miscellaneous development…

Holy smokes, I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that power bill, though I'd love to have the kind of workload that justified that setup.

Oh god. It's too real. This was soul-crushing. Thank you for sharing.

The problem is that ADHD (and its related disorders) can't really be measured (on a scale from 1 to 10, for example). In reality, it's like a color wheel or a spiderweb chart of di…

New position. My workplace is different - we've been in an under-resourced, over-committed state for about 3 years and we KNOW we need more established standards, better testing, a…

I came here to say this. I'll make do by seconding this motion. I suppose tagging along with an exploded bomb-hunter is generally only applicable in the past tense.

In my experience (and the industry I'm in), requiring identity verification upon withdrawal is an anti-money laundering measure, and often one required by legislation rather than c…

Don’t think too hard… there’s a rate limit. Unlike accepting your lord and saviour, which is unmetered! \o/

Glad I could elicit a laugh :) And I hope I didn't cause any offence.

Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks the graphic in the middle of the logo resembles something other than anything space-related?

Yeah, you definitely called that one. It's like a smouldering cornucopia of antisemitism, "Buy GME", penises, "Death to America", more penises, more GME... if an alien race were us…

I couldn't even begin to guess how many hours I spent playing this game as a kid (and how much I dreaded hearing "Warning - missile approaching" in the last level).

Looks like it's too late. Is there anywhere else to watch this online? It doesn't look like there are any screenings in Australia any time soon...

"Teledildonics"... what a time to be alive. Just when I thought we were running out of new frontiers!

Could you imagine the privacy implications? "Hey! It looks like you could use more fiber in your diet". Then suddenly, you're seeing Metamucil ads all over Facebook, and you start …

"The long term solution is, then, not eradicating ADHD's existence, but building a society in which individuals with ADHD can prosper in their unique ways." - Spot on the mark. Not…

I can relate to this. I was diagnosed at 31, and my doctor at the time asked me "so, are you having issues at work? Is anyone pulling you up on your effort?" The answer was "No". H…
