Once you earn it you are an Eagle Scout for life. So you are an Eagle Scout not a “former” Eagle Scout. At least that’s what I was thought!

It’s paywalled for me. But I’m wondering if it’s apple or googles fault for the delay.

If you’re not trusted to drink you shouldn’t be trusted to get married.

I strongly prefer RTO for myself personally. I can’t stand working from home. I believe the solution is have a shorter commute and live closer to the office (even though I live far…

Uber does this all the time to me. It’s so frustrating. I allow notifications from uber when I don’t from most apps because they are useful when a ride is incoming. Yet I get rando…

There’s a reduce transparency setting in accessibility. Wonderful what this will look like if that’s on. I’ve been using it for years as I don’t like frills.

I’m a us citizen and I do want this. Speak for yourself. China bans us social media. Us should ban Chinese social media.

At least they’re consistent? I don’t know seems like folks in the EU would be better off spending time innovating on product and technology. It’s fine to regulate but to make that …

The whole google shopping case is ridiculous. If you are “big enough” and you change (aka make improvements to) your products you get fined. Foundem could have built a direct relat…

What do we know about apples other backend services? I’ve worked in compute infra in big tech for 8 years and I don’t know anything about apple’s backend.

I think the top comment reflects this - I have adhd too and I can’t be productive at home. I suffer a commute every day because my job performance tanked when I worked from home 8 …

If you have a geographically centralized team (I.e everyone is in the same city) it makes sense to me to have the team be together at least one day a week. If you’re by yourself in…

personally I go to the office every day even though I have a long commute. I hate working from home. Mandates for RTO don’t universally make the job worse. Of course I acknowledge …

Is the an EU regulation response thing? The article doesn’t mention that but I’m not very familiar with this offering so I wasn’t sure.

This happened to my sister. She got her phone stolen at a bar in Austin. They’ve tried to phish her multiple times and now it’s gotten to intimidation texts where they are threaten…

What do you mean? China has banned all US social media. On the simple grounds of reciprocity (which afaik is a generally accepted foreign policy strategy) this ban seems justified.…

I grew up in a suburb development where you couldn’t walk to anything. It was pretty isolated, until I had a car it was difficult for me to visit friends or do anything outside the…

Assuming “it” means MacBook Pro but I thought Apple doesn’t support MST? Source: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253432530?sortBy=best

I want to see his parents go down too. Sounds like some criminal actions there too.

For me personally this is too little too late. About 5 years ago I could have really used a super powerful multicore processor in my local desktop. But my company has since moved t…

“Ultralight” backpacking favors skills rather than gear. Folks have done entire 3k mile thru hikes with 5lbs of gear. The main way you get that low is simply by not taking much wit…

When I worked on azure compute we had dedicated laptops that were basically bricks. All they did was connect to production. No internet no admin rights limited set of software. Thi…

Not universally true. I strongly prefer work from office. I hate commuting but prefer the office so that’s a paradox I struggle with. I’ve been thinking terrible commutes are a sym…

Personally I highly prefer the office. I hate the commute but prefer the office. It’s a great conundrum for me. I guess this is a hot take - but I miss the pre pandemic days when m…
