I certainly keep a latest-gen console around so that I can play cross-play enabled games with my PC buddies. I don't have the patience or space for another computer, so a console is the next best thing. I will never have the best graph

I know someone who wired their turn signal / high beam stalk to need to be pulled while turning the ignition key. Back in the early-mid 90s, my dad had a tiny light switch that needed to be toggled before starting the car. It's ri

I'm oversimplifying here, but carmakers do need EV divisions to bridge the gap. They need to be independent but be supported by the top of the organization. There's way too many stakeholders involved in the ICE orgs that could ham

Can you expand on the "at least half" part? On an income of $200k in California, for example, your tax rate is something like 8% (marginal). If you total it up with federal taxes, it's something like a 27% tax rate.

Hard agree, I'd rather not leetcode-ify* the health system. Nor do I want to see swaths of businesses dedicated to cracking the medical leetcode interview. *because it really feels as if some companies translate leetcode skills to actu

These do have those flush door handles. They sit flush when the car is locked.

Agreed, but I have my gripes with the system. We waited a long time for Apple Music to come to the infotainment - and even then it's slow, you cannot adjust to a higher music quality, you can't download playlists to local storage,

On a personal level, yes, I'd be much less concerned with China having my data than my own government. On a national scale? Well, I certainly do not want an adversary with an interest in overtaking the U.S. have both data and means to

iOS does not have "Keychain Access" as a named setting or app. MacOS has both Keychain Access as a standalone app, and Passwords as a section in your settings. The latter is dedicated to purely passwords that you, as the user, mak

I really like Apple's implementation of passwords, passkeys, etc. But...I had a hard time explaining this to my mom. She uses it to generate her passwords and fill-in within Safari which is great! But there's no "Passwords&qu

So I have yet to use ChatGPT (I know, I know), but are you able to keep long running threads with it? How does it know context about your app? Are you simply copying and pasting code? This is really cool to hear about.

This one hits home, but I also am not sure if it lines up neatly with the definition. I only have significant physical reaction to certain sounds when I'm at my place of residence (I've had this for the past five years and have mo

I am doubtful their VR product will be great if released within this or next year. > Apple Watch got so extremely lucky But given that others have tried and arguably failed to have the same impact, this is not sizably attributed to luck

It's better these days with code block support and now accepts Markdown shortcuts. But I haven't given it a chance since before those things were supported :)

My company uses Dropbox Paper which does a few things well: Markdown + embedded images (with captions), and collaborative features. I use Notion for my personal stuff, which sufficiently gets out of my way, but never tried it with other col

Anecdotally, I have found that in doing non-urgent root-cause investigations, writing* is the only way for me to think deeply about a problem. My flow looks like: 1. Write the impact of the problem as currently observed. This answers most P

So I always assumed this was the case for other compiled languages. Is this something special in Golang and/or recently created languages?

I know this isn't a Motorola phone as a standalone, but the StarTac had an accessory that you can add to the back of the phone which was a PDA. This was probably my favorite thing from Motorola (I was a kid). https://www.fli

Do you have iPhones? My solution is specific to the Apple ecosystem, but did indeed require some workaround with Homebridge to get it to be truly automated.

Its a trade-off for us. We had a security system for about a year before we realized it was inconvenient to arm/disarm it, so having a geofence ensured we always have it active when we need it to be. Your point is not invalid though.
