I don't understand, all my data sits on Google too but I never use Chrome for anything? What issues are you having?

If you're finding Gemini "clean and straightforward" give it awhile. I felt the same thing too when I switched until I realized that it just hadn't formed a model for my communications yet. After awhile it became just

The stewardship and economics of the language can also be the issue. I started coding in the 80's and so web development for me evolved at the inception of the field. I will go to my grave insisting that Coldfusion was a better platf

So much of housing in my area is high density now taking the form of row housing with multiple levels. Other homes have laundry in the basement, bedrooms on a second level. Sadly Isaac isn't going to be as useful if you have stairs.

No worries, it's going to be fascinating to hear what the investigation uncovers. Did the sensor data stream send back anything useful in the milliseconds before those sensors ceased to exist? I would assume there were no warning sign

What you're seeing is not a 'side' of the rocket sliding down, it's the rocket itself. The other part on the right is the erector stand it was mounted to. Looks like the bottom of the rocket blows out first and begins

Heidi has been my go-to SQL tool for longer than I can remember. Has been great to watch it evolve and have communicated wish list items to the developer several times with great responsiveness.

I always love this video, and I have been a lifetime dedicated fan of James Burke, but few seem to note that the whole segment didn't have to be timed as there is a cut shortly before the launch. If I recall either James or one of the

USER: What do you think about the idea that you're talking to someone 100 years in the future? TALKIE-1930: I think it is an interesting speculation. In a hundred years, time will have wrought great changes both in the old world and in

I used to write a lot of native Windows corporate software in the 90's and 2000's and my standard login window was a floating draggable oval. Nothing else was oddly shaped but I did get a lot of comments on the oval login window

If you're pulling 2TB of data you should be ordering it on a drive from them and saving yourself the hassle.

I was hired in the early 90's by a collection of franchises for a home care company. The privately owned head office self-developed and distributed required monthly updates to the only software franchises were permitted to run their b

Let it be a choice, with the mandate that if you opt out and later contract it there will be no state funded assistance down the road. Your choice shouldn't be a burden on the system.

I loved Dilbert and I really believe that you often have to separate art from artist if you want to enjoy many things. He put a very unique perspective on corporate and tech environments that made me laugh. Sad to see a human pass but als

First thing I do on any Windows machine is uninstall OneDrive anywhere possible. It's caused me enough grief that I just avoid it entirely at this point.

We were on the same page. I also built something similar for a Conveyor company here in Canada in the early 90's. We parameterized all their tech drawings (or at least the initial versions) from their component libraries. Was a grea

I have a folder in my server where I archive the last several versions (usually 3-5) of all software I install. It would have helped in this situation but the main reason I started doing it >25 years ago is in case companies disappeared

Perhaps I say at all the wrong (right?) hotels but... I stay in close to two dozen North American hotels a year and I haven't noticed this trend? Many have pocket doors but I can't think of a hotel in recent memory that was missi

I rode in one of these in Phoenix in June, loved the experience! Had to go to a pharmacy so purposely picked one a half hour across the city so I could just watch the car perform. Felt like the future (though it did glitch once). Made a

Please make AI disappear altogether until I want it. No pop-ups, no floating "Help me..." in fields, no spinning flashing icons on toolbars. I submit feedback on all products that do this that I would like a way to turn it all o

This sounds like myself as well. We are a small dev team of 6 (in a company of 30), however I also have a partial ownership stake in the company. Even though I spend a significant part of my time on "CTO" style work (client meet

I taught my now 83 year old mother to use an Android phone 10+ years ago and now I use Nova Launcher to do my best to emulate the experience she's used to every time there is an OS update. She does pretty well, but recently Google chan

Replying to my own comment as I can no longer edit. To clarify, I have a spare Pixel 5 sitting on the shelf. Was inexpensive to purchase a backup a few years ago off of a local classifieds site, still new in box.

Sorry, my wording was misleading there. A spare Pixel 5 on the shelf so if something happens to this one I have an immediate replacement. I pop it onto a charger every couple months to prevent the battery from going too low.

I still carry my Pixel 5 for this reason. 2 replacement batteries in now and I have a spare sitting on a shelf. That said the Pixel 9A is tempting as it's not much larger than my Pixel 5. I hate that the finger print readers have mo

It doesn't really need to surface. This is PebbleOS, so all the faces developed for all of the previous models will also work here. There is already a huge library of faces and I see people still making new ones.

You may also find interesting that in this release update he mentiones that the backlight LED is now RGB and they are toying with ideas like making the backlight blue light aware at nights, etc.

I'm not understanding this comment. I'm running this site on my Pixel 5 and on Firefox on a Thinkpad W530 (12+ years old) and it's flying on both. What part is laggy?
