    The official Plex app hasn't been updated to take advantage of all the hardware decoding support available on the Apple TV. I moved to Infuse, a paid third-app, which I use to stre…

    I used Grammarly in the past and I stopped because the privacy issues were concerning. I switched to https://www.antidote.info/en , which works entirely on-device, without sending …

    Actually, SSO is usually a requirement for even basic security audits. So SSO is essentially required for companies operating in specific sectors, regardless of their size. Healthc…

    This has been annoying for me. I build a healthcare EMR software, and the browser trying to autofill the employee's information into every patient field is often a problem. By acci…

    I agree entirely. I've tried zsh and other replacements, but I keep coming back to Fish. It's intelligent, loaded with features, and ohmyfish adds a lot. No other machine I connect…

    No one wants used products for "new" prices, but plenty of people would be willing to buy open-box items at discounted prices. It's a huge thing for appliances. In most situations,…

    Years ago, there was a failed gaming device called a Stinky Board, it's a D-PAD controlled with your feet. I got one at a gaming convention and have never put it to good use. Now I…

    I do not think it is. Blockchains are meant as a data store. Archival, verifiable. But not easily searchable. There is no design on blockchain for advanced query languages/logic. I…
