I bought a relatively inexpensive induction range from LG specifically because it has knobs - a lot of the more expensive ones from other brands were capacitive touch.

Maintenance-induced failures are what it’s called with small aircraft. You’ll do something to prevent a failure (like, replace an old but functional alternator) but cause an oil le…

Sounds like they’re using a treadmill, and yes this is about the most boring way possible to exercise

The risk is that beyond hobbyists technology will stagnate. It’s already much more productive using one or two frameworks over the rest of what’s available, and without training da…

If you’re using the same adapter successfully at a supercharger, you have the wrong adapter for AC (level 1/2) charging.

I agree that vinyl is technically worse than others modern formats, but it often gets mastered with greater care and therefore can sound better than CD or other digital formats. Re…

I use it to enable voice control (turn on the coffee machine), quick actions on iOS devices and for the simpler and faster Home ui for basic controls. It’s also handy in that you g…

Possibly obvious point, water softeners add salt to the water.

Vinyl, for whatever continuing reason, often does sound better than digital formats but only because it’s mastered with more care. It could be that it’s physically impossible to ma…

Not the op, but you only commit to what you already did in this sprint. So this sprint shows what you delivered 2 sprints ago, next sprint will be the work you just finished.

I’ve done this for years and never ruptured a bottle, I set the regulator to 60psi. I’d like a metal bottle too but haven’t found one - I presume spraying some co2 into it would be…

Try a corporate laptop. Every stupid thing you don’t need except to know it’s running is there, but you don’t know it’s running because they may just be hidden. Jamf, zscaler, viru…

Yeah I learn from reading other work too, but it doesn’t stick as well as when I work through it. The problem now is the pressure to use llms means creating more code but understan…

I interpreted this as not as good a way to learn. I learn the most from struggling through a problem, and reading someone’s code doesn’t teach me all the wrong ways they attempted …

I'm not sure it's been codified, but I was told I would need to understand how to use the VOR and autopilot if the plane I was in had one. In the fleet at the school I was learning…

This would be more like they enabled cruise control, hit the brakes, and sued the manufacturer because they were rear-ended.

I don't mean a reasonable pilot. Would a reasonable person expect autopilot in a plane prevents a plane from crashing into something that the pilot was accelerating towards while p…

I’m not usually an apologist, and I’d agree with this judgement if the car was left to its own devices, but the driver of the car held his foot on the accelerator which is why it b…

A person can get mistakenly (or not) flagged for special screening and get it over and over again - it happened to me many years ago. I fixed it by filling out a form requesting a …

Tailscale allows you to disable the expiration time - I do this for my gateways. My other simplifier is having everything at home get a .home dns name, and telling Tailscale to rou…

You mean, with Microsoft 365 Copilot App (there’s no more Office)

According to a related article: https://www.discovermagazine.com/why-its-nearly-impossible-t... The death was caused by an "unknown pre-existing condition" but doesn't elaborate fu…

Almost certainly a typo, the first Walkman was 390g or 14 ounces (not 1.4oz)

Yes, I can’t even use many 10.x subnets at home because my work VPN configures a huge routing table including many of them. Basically I had no choice but to redo my home network if…

They’ve done loud, in-store presentations for longer than Apple Intelligence has been a thing, but you’re right that it’s a captive audience of mostly disinterested people.
