    Em dashes in every other sentence. I've never seen an actual person do that. The language in general reads exactly it's written by an LLM: "The blah blah didn't just start as blah.…

    I use Gyroflow to stabilize GoPro footage from autocross events since I can't stand the left/right panning from GoPro's HyperSmooth stabilization. Gyroflow lets me disable stabiliz…

    Who cares if the allergies are lethal or not? They'll cause the person to be miserable for days, possibly cause hives, possibly cause an asthma attack. That's not comparable to sit…

    Yep, lying about it is why they're being sued: "They misled users into installing the extensions with a privacy policy that claimed they did not collect any personal information."

    The cable company and newspaper would absolutely love to do that if it were possible on their technology. If you put an ad on TV, the cable company is wasting valuable time showing…

    > Currently Tesla just replaces the entire media unit when this happens, which is extremely expensive for them. In reality they only need to replace a tiny part instead of tossing …

    You're not. It really annoys me when people cite google search suggestions as meaningful. In my google search suggestions, it falls behind "how to leave a group chat" and "how to l…

    Time diversion versus what? The lack of dedicated controls is only a negative for games that require precise inputs (like classic arcade games). There are so many fantastic games t…

    While Chrome does forget about the history of the closed tab, cookies are shared across incognito tabs/windows and aren't wiped until all incognito tabs are closed. You can still b…

    If they're ditching the 3.5mm jack to get thinner, I'm not sure they're going to switch to the thicker USB-C connector. It made sense to move to USB-C on the MacBook where it repla…

    The last photo in the article is much more recent than that. It's covered in plywood now :( http://i0.wp.com/99percentinvisible.org/wp-content/uploads/2...

    I couldn't touch type and really couldn't force myself not to look, so I bought a Das Keyboard and threw out my old keyboard. It was rough at first, but I doubt I could have learne…

    You should look into A Game of Thrones: The Board Game. It's very similar to diplomacy at it's core, but has a bunch more going on. The people who just play the game mechanics tend…

    Nice to know I'm not the only one. It does not get along with my router (WNDR3700). It will only connect after rebooting the router and even then devices can't always find it when …

    The Eagles seem very picky about when they help and who they're helping. I highly doubt they would do such a deed without Gandalf letting them in on the full story.

    That's a good default for expiration, but I always expect to be able to dismiss notifications early to get them out the way. It definitely makes sense to hide the dismissal button …

    It did strike me as odd that showCloseButton isn't true by default. I can't see many scenarios where you would want to force the user to leave their screen obstructed after they've…

    Yep, 2900 psi; and I just read that they plan to upgrade to 4400 psi tanks. For reference, I put about 40 psi in my car's tires.

    Sure, it's not "pure" black, but his argument is more that the average monitor's #000 text on a #fff background still has too much contrast for comfortable reading.

    eep, that's 1/5th of my messaging plan, and exactly why I'm afraid to send a text to any automated system.

    I agree with it detracting from the immersion in many cases, but I think your forgetting about casual games. Where this is really interesting is that it enables hidden information …
