In Australia, our supermarket bread almost always has “vegetable oil” in the ingredients. They can’t even be bothered sticking to one type of vegetable oil or listing which ones they use. I’ll take the home bread

I thought I'd share I finally tried this today, on a fairly low end grinder that clumps because of mechanical means, not just static means. After doing a little WDT to break up the larger clumps, I noticed I only had to do a very short

My understanding has been that youtube is more pet project for him, and square mile is what really pays the bills He's done a video before on what his normal process looks like, and its always had both the water spritz and WDT, so whil

I thought I had been once, and got a very scary email that came from my own domain, claiming to have gotten into my things, and I fully assumed it was the VPS that got hacked. After calming down and raiding the shit out of everything I real

this broke me the other day. I've always defended spotify through all their shitty decisions, but lately they've had a very take-it-or-leave-it approach to their key features. The answer given by support is literally "we remo

Did the friend park the car out the front of his house, with a license plate that would have been shared by the sister? In the suburbs you don’t need to be overly precise, do a drive by and stop at the house with the car?

I lost my absolute mind this morning trying to figure this out. Dual wan and neither working. Got a few hours into the work day and ended up digging out an old WRT router just to get some work done. I saw a bunch of kernel panics and assume

There was a project a few years ago called BabelPod that would take line-in (or any audio source really) on a raspberry pi and it would send it to airplay speakers, effectively making a janky wireless aux cord for record players and such. I

So you’re telling me you can give Amazon money for their closed book system, give them more money and they can just decide to take away “””your””” books you’ve bought over the years? Can’t wait for the apologist to appear and explain why th

Yeah exactly. My fairly basic MacBook Pro back in 2014 was capable of driving 2 4K displays on the intel GPU. It was not going to win benchmarks but it never slowed me down in day-to-day work until it aged beyond its useful life.

If you can afford the caldigit, it’s a premium unit but seriously good and quite popular.

Meanwhile, I’ve not owned a desktop for about 5-6 years now. I invested heavily into a good docking station setup that eventually evolved into an eGPU setup. Means I own one macbook for dev work, and play games on boot camp with the GPU. No

This is fixed with using a power cable on the charger block instead of the bunny-ears adapter. Apple removing the power cord in favour of only including the bunny-ears adapter was such a mistake

He has mentioned a few times now that he struggles with developing ideas and script writing, and is essentially bottlenecking his pipeline. I'd imagine a well picked writing team that doesn't lose sight of what makes his content g

Yeah whenever I've seen a favourite creator put up an out-of-place piece of long form content, it sometimes even gets a calendar entry so I can give it my full attention later

Just migrated one of our projects from webpack+babel+tsc to just webpack with esbuild-loader, the difference is astounding. Just need to remove webpack itself now so we can use their transforms.

I was super disappointed to find out that after they crammed a whole iPhone SOC package into the speakers that they don't do offline processing for siri like the phone does. Seems like such a wasted opportunity

Thank you so much. This alone is a quality of life improvement on an ios keyboard. I'll live with s/well/we'll/ if it stops trying to police my tone when I'm annoyed

Also I saw a good joke once about if you want a programming issue solved, don’t just post it to reddit; make another account in which you respond to your own question with some useless advice. Redditors will not idly stand by and leave some

I find GitHub issues pages really good, it’s almost like what SO could have been if it had real developers on it. Whenever I feel proper stuck on something, I go search the relevant repo’s issues page and more often than not, it’s in a clos
