This is how I use them but you have to admit that this assumes 3-4 things about a user just to save them the hassle of supplying two factors at login time. It's also unclear to use…

I am a big user of the multi-account containers extension. It is nice to keep banking in one container, Amazon in its own container, social media in its own, and so on. Syncing acr…

It’s been there for a while https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/message-threading-thund...

Physical disks were one of the last differentiators that consoles had. 20 years ago, you could buy a game, take it home, put it into the console, and begin playing straightaway. No…

If I were Sony, I would worry just as much about the people who bow out of playing games altogether, or just retreat into retro games especially with all the new Android handhelds …

The problem with the physical media for today's consoles is that it is the game in name only. The version on the disc is quickly outdated by launch day patches, follow-up patches, …

The client in your family members devices has encryption keys that you do not have in your client or on the server

My only disappointment with this release is that the beta version of workflows does not have the ability to sort photos into albums by face detected (yet). That’s what I’ve been wa…

The latter, it works quite well

This is not end to end encryption. There is nothing stopping you (or Hetzner) from accessing your family’s data, as one the disks are mounted to a host they are decrypted and avail…

You can use something like Immich Public Proxy to only expose the /share path of your server and keep the main /api path that has everything else behind VPN

Yeah Immich and Ente are going for two different use cases. While Ente can be self hosted, I view it as more of an escape hatch if they ever enshittify vs how I would start off usi…

Valve has an incentive to keep being benevolent because consumers have the option of using other stores on the same hardware. If you have invested into Sony platforms and games, yo…

From a business perspective, I understand this. The physical games sections of most retailers are pitiful these days - take a walk down the PS5 aisle in Target or Best Buy for exam…

The Macbook Pro jump is probably the most meaningful, as it now puts the 16GB/1TB configuration of the 14" at $1999. That is now more than a Framework 13 Pro with Intel Core Ultra …

The 2013 Steam Machine is as different from this device as it could possibly be. Proton didn't exist back then and Steam Input was still in (relative) infancy.

There is a distinct difference between a chair and a communication (birthday card, letter, email, whatever) about some personal life event

If you keep your media accessible through Plex or Jellyfin, I recommend checking Chromatix[1] out - simple and no frills [1] https://chromatix.app/

Our AWS account team is incredible. I could ask them for anything and they would get back to me in a day

I recently left streaming and started buying music again and in the process dusted off my 20 year old Last.fm account to begin scrobbling again

I just checked my email and saw that my earliest use of Dropbox was with its 3rd alpha for Linux in August 2008. That is an awfully long time to be using a service. I remember how …

This is key. As a kid I still wanted to play sports outside because the sports video games were pretty limited

Our team at work uses all three major public clouds and our Google Account Team is by far the worst of the three. Nothing like having to explain the same problem I’m having from th…
