This is the story of being a tech giant where you can't stop running a creepy digital surveillance business model that depends on expensive but poor performing hardware vendors so you partner with an ungodly expensive hardware vendor t

Any centralized solution like GitHub is going to suffer the same fate as vibe coding chokes these services. The only option to have high uptime is to self host and most organizations can't do that easily. Time will tell if GitHub can s

There is no reason to trust any big tech company. Folks should be using containers in their browser if they care about privacy. I previously published a LinkedIn container extension for FireFox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en

I think the Mac App Store has been a terrible distribution system for indie devs... I never even think of going there for apps, nor do the non-technical folks I know. The iOS App store is a monopoly that is breaking down in Europe. I expect

As a retro gaming enthusiast myself, I think the issue of the system not having a DVD drive is only potentially surpassed by the ease of which piracy was possible on the system. What seems craziest to me of that era is that Microsoft didn&#

I always hate to say we need regulation around something but then someone evil does something evil and the need for regulation emerges again...

Anyone who remembers that era of Internet Explorer with positivity must have been on an island of consumer facing websites like Geocities and never had to deal with ActiveX websites.

I switched my ex off my Verizon plan to Visible. It cut costs by 60+% for service they haven't seen a difference with. They lost the ability to go into a store for support, lost phone support, and get deprioritized but they use it for

I thought they tried that already with Windows Vista. I mean... it seemed to at least share a lot with Blockchain since the initial release had more variations than anyone cared to track, was slow, confusing, expensive, and hardly anyone us

If you only need a single copy you are best suited buying from Microsoft directly. If you need multiple copies you can work with a VAR (Value Added Reseller) to get better pricing. CDW.com is the big name in VAR's but they have enormou

I've seen SaaS products like this before. https://truthantowers.com/ had one about five years ago. Selling into the government is not just organizing the data to make the sales process more approachable but it's k

I went from a 2017 MBP 15" to a 16" 2019 MBP late last year and the keyboard is clearly a big selling point but lets not forget how much better the audio is either. It's under played in most reviews but it's a night and

Adobe bought Macromedia and killed off fireworks. I still run the last version they made. I know your pain. Once you learn how to do everything in an editor and they stop supporting it you need to either reinvest time into learning a new ed

How can it not be less expensive? The private companies don’t have to offer/fund the insane pension benefits that public sector employees get. The public sector pension scandal is insane.

I’d buy more cash flow generating real estate. As others have noted, we are printing cash and all assets valued in our currency are likely to be impacted. Unlike gold, real estate should be able to generate cash and not cost you cash to hol

This is why mainframes running COBOL still are a thing. If it works why muck it up? People forget how dependent we have become on computerized automation.

The Congress makes the USPS fund it’s pension. No other part of the government has funded itself properly so lots of debt.

We all know public entities would be exempt. What’s the point then? Government will just leak more important info. I think a shift toward identity as a service is underway for the market to solve this. Auth0 and the like are offering a solu

I was a Macromedia fanboy. Photoshop is still a second class citizen in my mind to Fireworks. Even though Adobe felt different and nuked their best editor I still run it.

Touchpads on Mac are stellar but have gotten too large. They often detect my palms as I type and move the mouse into the wrong spot.

If they provide the ipsw, modify the ipsw, and don’t have permission from Apple to do that, then it’s all over for them. Didn’t work for Psystar and it won’t work for them.
