I've sold photos on and off for 20 years (on a direct basis, companies contact me via my portfolio), and I've generally gone for a rough "$5 per employee that the company has" rate. A 10 person startup wants one of my ph

You’re accessing an internet service for the weather, therefore they get your IP, then there’s services out there that map IPs to locations. You can test this by using a VPN and visiting a weather site with GPS/etc turned off. It will

As a disabled person, I couldn’t even begin to describe how much of a tangible improvement HA has had in my life. Being able to turn all the lights off from my bed before I go to sleep, or have the heater in the kids room turn on automatica

Aldi has very very questionable quality though. I've had multiple DOAs, and multiple of their things die within months. They're good with warranty returns, but usually can't give you a replacement product due to how they do b

I understand why some people are upset about it (Eg due to accounts of deceased people), but I was really REALLY hoping to snap my first name which was registered by a European person 10 years ago, has 0 followers, and has never posted. I d

Yeah I was just thinking the other day, apps like those would work so much better if they let you aim them at the ceiling. Your ceiling edges/corners are usually a lot more visible than your floor.

Do you mean like Magicplan? [0] There’s a few others but that’s one I’ve used and it works fine. [0] https://apps.apple.com/au/app/magicplan-2d-3d-floor-plans/id...

It was easy to get all sorts of fun domains back in the day. All so you could have lolz in your irc /whois.

Closest thing would probably be the IRL streamers on Twitch. There's been a few who got pretty big just streaming their lives day to day.

That’s about right for the price. They’re not cheap. There’s copies that do the same job, but like in any hobby, people look down on the “fakes” despite them being functionally the same thing.

I moved to Android a couple of years ago as I was so frustrated with all the issues I was having (after being an iPhone user since the first iPhone) only to realise Android is the same mess of bugs and issues. It made me come to the conclus

$50/mth for a PERSONAL site on their cloud hosting... $300/mth if you have 2 people developing a site together, and "Ask us for a quote" if you want to host it on your own server. Something tells me this isn't going

Apparently in tests the new Sony’s are slightly better NC than the Bose, but I tested them in a store and preferred the audio quality of my Bose QCs and couldn’t personally tell a difference in NC. I couldn’t live without my Bose QCs and th

I've recently switched to using VSCode with these[0] two[1] extensions for all my markdown notes (I completely live off extensive note-taking and have gone through every single possible Markdown editor), and I couldn't be happier.

As an ex Eve Online player, who's also spent hundreds/thousands of hours in NMS, WoW, and now SWTOR, I absolutely love these "IRL" projects that archive/study virtual worlds, like the financial studies of the Eve ec

Yup I've been using KeePass + OneDrive (and duplicated to my NAS) on all my devices, across all major OSes, for years now. Never had a single issue and love that it's open source with a selection of clients to choose from. You can

When life imitates art. Wasn't this literally the plot to the Hackers movie? Complete with the 5 million dollar ransom to an oil company...

Yes it has been done, and works[0-3], it's just a matter of effort vs reward. Generally a simple heat sink and/or small fan setup works fine for nearly any usecase the Pi is designed for, and if you really do need to do heavier lo

Try Empyrion. I was a Space Engineers player who has switched entirely to Empyrion. It’s SE with way way more complexity. Food and starvation, recipes, mobs, biomes, and so much more. It’s a criminally underrated game.

Yeah I’ve consistently found amazon to be more expensive than other online stores and even brick & mortar sometimes, at least here in Australia. They USED to be cheaper for everything, but not for a while now. Amazon is good for the occ

Isn’t Typora electron too? Or is their Linux version a native app?

Not sure why you're being downvoted. I'm a Typora user who had no idea VSCode had a markdown extension. I just played with it, and it's really good, and I'll probably switch to it now as I already have VSCode open most o

Stealing the swipe action like that is really scummy. Otherwise it’s a pretty interesting article. Lots of amazing space projects going on lately.
