I remember back in the early seasons of the show, logging into Delphi (the VAX hosted text forum) immediately after to chat with other fans and sometimes people involved in show production. There were huge threads about the David Duchovny

Resido - the app for honeywell smart thermostats - requires notifications to be enabled to view or manage your thermostat settings or run time history. This is relatively recent because I had disabled notifications over a year ago due to i

Some, the majority didn't care and of course we had the unfortunate few that were more than happy to help the company because they thought it would help earn them brownie points. We all got laid off the same in the end.

I used to do that, now I just keep a OneNote with the things that would have been blog entries once upon a time - it's available across all my devices and I can export it to PDF when I do need to share something with someone - and I do

NC DMV replaced their regular forms with a chat bot and it's horrible. Takes forever to complete tasks that used to take less than a minute because of the fake interaction and fake typing. Just give me a damn form to pay my taxes or r

Disclaimer: I didn't vote for Trump/Vance and I'm deeply uncomfortable with the stuff happening with DOGE in particular. All the republicans have to do for the 2026 midterms and Vance for 2028 is play clips from the DNC Offic

Telcos I've touched have used Tandems for E911, SMS processing, Device authorization, and automated tariff negotiation between CLEC/ILEC, but FTP server is a new one!

HP BladeSystem p-series chassis were all DC bus bar powered back in the mid 2000s. You had a power enclosure which provided DC output to one or more chassis in a rack over the bus bar. We were glad to be rid of those blades but it wasn&#x

I know at one point Microsoft and IBM both invested significantly in studying UX research. It doesn't feel like that's happening or if it is, I guess I must be drifting out of touch with what's considered intuitive in user in

Speaking of Tandem Databases, HP had released the SQL engine behind SQL/MX[0] as open source (Trafodion) running in front of Hadoop to the Apache Software Foundation but it appears they have shutdown the project[1]. [0]: https:/&

Kinda the other way around, the NonStop kernel can present a Guardian personality or an OSS (Open Systems Services) linux-like compatible personality. The OSS layer is basically running on top of the NSK/Guardian native layer but allo

Many people who use natural gas in the mountains of NC/TN right now are without any access because even the buried infrastructure there got destroyed.

Likewise I am convinced the "not interested" option does nothing, now I just straight block those pages/people when it shows up - the algorithm will send me another of nearly the same content but I keep blocking them and now

Xcode is free if you don't consider the platform cost of needing to have only apple hardware to use it, however (generally) the hardware is cheaper than what MS charges for MSDN/VSE.

That has been my strategy for the last decade or so, Unless I have a solid reason to I never use my real name when placing orders and generally never the same fake name twice, always use a virtual credit card, if it's a non-physical pr
