The only thing I really don’t agree with is SaaS. There are numerous benefits to the end consumer as long as you phrase your thinking in the right way. Take Adobe, what most people consider to be the most gratuitous SaaS. I want photoshop i

Quality user experience in things that are core functions of use, and specifically them not getting bogged down (or potentially “bricked” by) the need for luxury, or ads, or ease of use. In a car, the driver seat should, in my mind, be manu

I know nothing about the fundamentals of “old computing” like what Mr. Atkinson worked on as I am only 27 and have much more contemporary experience. That being said, I still very greatly mourn the loss of these old head techs because the w

In the modern sense, this is very much a “I don’t want to do labor” issue. If all of the WFH jobs get sent overseas, the only thing left to do here is stuff that cannot be done on a computer from home, like construction, fabrication, forest

My boss recently sent me from 5 days in office to 3, and on those two days WFH I get basically nothing done. Not because I don’t try, but my position in a small company is structured in such a way that I essentially work with my boss as her

I love work from home, but I can’t help but feel like its only real benefit is removing a lot of the overhead from jobs that are already considered overhead. Agree with this next part or not, it isn’t really debatable: to the average person

If anyone else wants to do this, coin silver is nominally cheaper and is significantly more durable, and about as easy to melt. I view things like a furnace or nice blowtorch as an investment into future projects that may otherwise not ev

The only thing that kind of bothers me about libraries is that, as a tech focused individual, basically every book I read or whatever is either an ebook or a audiobook, and I don't want to have to go to the library to pick it out. I un

I really liked The Windows 7 theme and kept it on on every computer that wasn't a gaming PC, because I'm gaming computers. I want to squeez every last frame. But my dad always turned off the theme on all of his computers because i

For me, the part that is most wild is that I have never heard a Japanese onomatopoeia that sounds remotely close to what I would actually assume the sound to sound like. when I was a little kid and I was studying Japanese, it always made me

I think the problem with open source in today's day and age is that old school programmers were all about making the landscape better, because they enjoyed computers where they had a passion for it. Modern-Day programmers, as a general

Yes. Hosting it for personal use would not be a crime, but distributing it would be. Additionally, even if people were to get it from you without you getting in trouble, they would all have to use a VPN to even begin to see anything, which

The reason it is kind of wild is because a company being forced to sell basically the only thing it has in order to stay relevant in the second most major region of the world is kind of big news, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they

The thing about China banning stuff is that it is sponsored by the whole government, so every ISP in China is forced to comply with the ban. In the US, unless all of the ISPs are forced to ban tiktok at a network level, the ban will essenti

It is wild to me how it seems like every blight or environmental disease or pest I hear about comes from Asia, Chestnut blight, Bark beetles, wildly invasive tree species where I live, carp, Burmese Pythons, that orange disease like 10 year

Yes, we would. That's why most of us are okay with proxies. But the fact of the matter is that when all of the good cards cost a lot of money, and you need to play good cards to win tournaments, and you cannot use proxies in tourna

I spent a lot of time looking at these a while back (early 23) and found that they all are a far worse value than a modded iPod, especially when you consider that iPod DACs are widely considered to be fantastic.

This happens in every industry once that business is opened to the stock market. Larian is great because its private. Steam is great because it's private. Facebook used to be great then it went public and went downhill fast. Same wit

I do almost exclusively by singles. That doesnt mean that a) winning packs from tournaments and LGS FNM doesnt feel satisfying or fun or valueable, and b) it wasnt fun to gamble on getting good value out of all pre-Throne of Eldraine sets,

He is somewhat exaggerating, as most of the MOST espensive cEDH decks peak at around 10k, which is frankly a TON of money but comes from 2 or 3 cards. Take Urza for example: the best Urza Poly Kraken deck (uninterruptable combo deck reliabl

I mean, I wouldnt care if all of the cards were worthless as long as all of the packs are free. Winning tournaments (esp local ones) currently feels bad and unrewarding because a pack of cards is $5 to buy but contains $0 value. Investing i

I really miss 2016 MtG. I remember when full art lands and full art promos were RARE and with money for no reason other than their collectability. I really liked when cards were rare because of the fact that they were good and uncommon and

I would really like to see a guide, mainly for parts, where I can get this above USBC and bluetooth kit, as well as a m.2 solid state and a bigger battery all in one. I would really like a music player that is very detached from my phone th

My big complaint with NMS was that it does some things SO WELL that I want to play it despite all of the things it does so poorly. The player combat feels awful and clunky, but ship combat is amazingly fun and exciting! Exploring is great,

Everyone knows don't shit where you eat, but what about "don't work with your passions" If you enjoy doing computer stuff (coding, repair and building, management, etc) don't work in that industry. I've had thi

I literally never experience this issue. Except for a couple of actually lost packages, my prime has had EVERY package come in 2 days or less except holidays. I live in a 250k town tho, so I am not sure if there is some level of size that p

Yea, I would be okay with spending all 30k of those on just YouTube ads, and pihole for the rest. Google is the biggest advertiser, so logically their ads would go first or close to the top

The main argument is privacy, both with Google as a whole as well as facial recognition and private moments being logged in Google photos. One could argue that they are telling the truth about whether or not they ever look at your data and
