Seems like it would be but in my (limited) experience watching NFL games the announcers just call them iPads anyway. Then they or their co commentator corrects themselves with the …

I just blacklist the device driver for my integrated mic & webcam in Windows with group policies. Good luck monitoring me with a mic that the OS doesn't even recognize. I ever want…

I'd do a password manager and a VPN provider. Then spend a ton of money on ads on podcasts and youtube videos (which is odd since neither VPN hosting nor password managers make eno…

AdGuard allows 'approved ads', which for some of us is a dealbreaker.

Modern tractors are more technologically advanced than a Tesla. If you can run a modern planter or sprayer with autodrive/gps then copy/pasting a string of text into a terminal is …

Firefox the browser is great. The developers are great. Pretty much everyone else at mozilla (the execs, marketing, and the graphic designers that feel the need to reinvent some mi…

Someone hurts my dog, on my property, with no warrant? And they aren't even cops? They better bring more than 30 people with them is all I'm saying. And some EMT's because I live l…

I think you mean to say "Valve has been paying developers to fix the AMD drivers for years now, since AMD can't be bothered."

A great example of this is the album Death Magnetic by Metallica. The album version is compressed to hell but the version that shipped with Guitar Hero has none of that extra compr…

I feel like if you have to teach them about load balancers as college interns, FB needs to find a better school to pull interns from.

Slack was described to me as IRC + tmux for people too stupid to figure out irc & tmux. In my (limited) experience this seems true to me.
