Secret sauce is source control. You can get a matrix switcher and come up with your own controls but smart remotes like URC and Control4 are way more expensive and IMO are less rel…

That’s exactly why I’ll never use them.

You can’t even really get genuine warranty claims addressed. There’s always a catch: labor not included, part in order, no fridge for 4 days until tech can return.

Politics is theatre, I don’t think anything ever gets done. It just gives people a forum to complain and they can feel like they’re making a difference. Although this appears to be…

I also used 555-1212 etc but I used to shop at Harris Teeter and they flagged me. They knew who I was even when paying cash. I would get them to use the store card on occasion but …

Uh, what kind of companies are using AI to screen candidates?

Bars in places you least expect them can feel like an oasis. I recently discovered many Nordstrom’s have bars, with rather tasty cocktails. I’m happy to oblige the occasional shopp…

I completely agree. It should be a fixed price, incentivizing the driver to take the most efficient route. I also don’t want my driver to see where I’m going, because not all rides…

Everyone is human. Dehumanizing all work interactions sounds pretty depressing. I think the real problem is considering conversations in jest as evidence. We should all use key bas…

Mini splits still need to be cleaned and evaporator coils collect mold/mildew/contaminates just the same. Regardless of what you have periodic maintenance is what makes a differenc…

You have duct board. It can’t be cleaned, only replaced. If you want to spend a lot look at double wall sheet metal ducts and never let your house sit without dehumidification.

It will likely go too far, if something like that ever comes to fruition.

I met with someone from a privacy focused search engine and a line from his deck stuck with me: “you tell your search engine things you wouldn’t tell your friends or spouse”

I think the best thing is to avoid Ring products

Just another PR move by the feds to try and sway public perception to accept intentionally weakening encryption.
