Not to mention that the Sienna hybrid gets crazy good fuel economy for a mini van.

The Thunderscan, for the time, was pretty awesome though. I remember borrowing one from a classmate to make some scans. Given how we keep a document scanner in our pocket these day…

Agree. Calling it done and using it might be the best approach. If this is truly a "small project for myself", start using it. If the app mostly does what you want, and you enjoy u…

I disagree, but only slightly, Windows 2000 was my personal favorite, especially for its version of Windows Explorer.

If you find that bewildering, maybe it's a generational thing. I've been driving for around 35 years, and I never really found it too hard going from one car to another before the …

I dunno, my 18 year old Honda (and wife's Toyota of same age) is pretty much all physical switches (and that's not counting all the cars I've driven since the late 80s). Outside of…

I'm probably in the minority of the minority, but I don't want a touch screen in my car. Or even any big LCD screen in my car. I would prefer my car to be relatively dumb, and free…

I've been on Fastmail for almost a year, and I get spam/obvious phishing attempts in my inbox. Compared to my experience with GMail before switching to Fastmail, I found Gmail to b…

They are just a bookmark, but on Windows, they become a first class citizen on your task bar. If you are the type to have a ton of tabs open across many windows, this also makes th…

Which would be easily resolved by having them off by default? Having said that, I don't know how window snapping being on by default isn't incredibly frustrating for someone who is…

For those situations, there are wobbling mouse platforms that effectively do the same thing as a plug-in USB mouse jiggler.

> 95% of the time it's a better resolution for doing things like coding and spreadsheets. Depends on the use case. my wife (accountant) lives in Excel, and I set her up with two 21…

If you're authoring 16:9 content, you can display 1080p video at native resolution with UI controls on a 2560x1440 monitor, which is also 16:9. 16:10 in a vacuum is a useless metri…

> These 5 banks do not share infrastructure. Don't they all use Interac for a variety of services including e-transfers?

Is that a thing? Outside of SMS, I only use Skype, Slack and Whatsapp for instant messaging, and in terms of spam, SMS, which is bound to my number, gets the most spam, which is al…

That it binds to your cell phone number, and that I can't run the web client on an Android tablet (at least the last time I tried).

Sadly, I don't think dishwashers will last 20 years any more. Since 2005, I'm on my third dishwasher. The first one lasted 9 years, the second one around 5 (with one under warranty…

Also, since dishwashers are "supposed to" last 10 years or more, they may force you to keep an older version of Wifi available on your network (e.g., 2.4ghz n) when all of your oth…
