> As a caregiver impatiently waiting for Daraxonrasib Same here. Are you and your care recipient familiar with the Optune Pax device that the FDA approved in February? https://www.…

I was livid when I discovered that my carrier had implemented that with no opt out. I worked around it by implementing shortcuts that disable my iPhone's WiFi when I leave my house…

I love this project, but that server setup makes me hope that Ryan doesn't live in earthquake country.

My wife and I had a great time wandering around the Underground City when we visited Montreal. We were there in the fall, but it sunk in just how cold Montreal winters get when we …

The article covers this: > Around the world, border agencies overwhelmingly focus on imports, hunting for people and drugs. In many countries, exports are hardly checked at all. An…

Definitely. If 2K supported ClearType I would have stuck with it on my personal machines for another half a decade.

I've called 911 twice for borderline issues and it played out both times just like you said - I said what I was seeing and to let me know if I should call a different line, they co…

It's an extra step, but a surprisingly simple one. When I opened a checking account recently the bank told me which credit agency they'd use, and I unfroze that account and ChexSys…

Most of the article is about Gehrke and King, but the last fraud case mentioned is absolutely vile: > Another case alleges a scheme in Florida to distribute misbranded HIV drugs. P…

When I was a kid HP products were well-supported and famed for their durability. My dad still uses the HP scientific calculator his father bought in the '70s and my uncle has an ol…

This mid-'90s time capsule and the decade-plus of comments below it summarize how a lot of Freehand users felt about the program: https://philip.greenspun.com/wtr/illustrator-v-fre…

I hadn't thought about Freehand in a decade and now I'm angry at Adobe for killing it all over again. It never got in your way and let you fully focus on your work. Illustrator nev…

It's interesting to see a post here that flips the script a little, focusing on the negative consequences of growth-at-all-costs for those attempting to create good journalism and …

I'd evaluated Evernote alternatives for years, but that ludicrous price hike was the kick in the pants I needed to finally choose one (UpNote, for its similarity to early Evernote …

The dealer was security-conscious enough to keep a $2+ million a month dark web drug business going for five years, but blabbed about hiding his assets in plain English from a pris…

Only your coworkers can see what you're up to in a glass meeting room at your company office, though.

Exactly, and the facility with real conference rooms that we switched to had nice solo workspaces as well. The decor was a little more corporate, true, but we somehow struggled thr…

I'd used WeWork offices for solo work with no issues, so I didn't do sufficient diligence when I booked a conference room at one for a confidential client meeting. The room's walls…

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. It looks like I'll be sticking with Forklift 3 for the long haul. I did just install Double Commander on my Steam Deck, though. It's …

Have any Forklift users here on MacOS tried Double Commander? A two-panel file manager of some kind is a hugely useful productivity tool, I'm just wondering if there's a reason to …

A niche sub equivalent succeeding on, say, Lemmy would either require the existing reddit sub to close and migrate there or for the Lemmy active user count to grow to the point whe…

The Voyage of the Beagle is a fun read, with many little asides about what the animals Darwin ate tasted like. Puma meat was one he called out as particularly delicious and remarka…

24-year-old me would have been Googling where to buy this by the time I was halfway through the article. It's not for me any more, but Acronym definitely hit what they were going f…

Many of the largest gangs and criminal organizations active today began as self-defense or neighborhood defense groups. "The Bloods was initially formed to provide members protecti…

Yeah, paying high performers big money to leave over skills mismatches makes sense for a FAANG but would be suicidal for a startup.
