Same here. Some of the worst seasonal allergies I've ever had was while living in Germany. I'm not sure what exactly was responsible; my guess at the time was some sort of grass but I don't know for sure.

I live in the Yukon so will now be in sync with BC time again after this change. The concerns about commuting to school in the dark seem almost comical, given the experiences of everybody here with the winter darkness. For other reasons, I

I used to get this same feeling during lectures in uni. Often the information was presented well and, along with some clear examples, everything seemed to make perfect sense. It wasn't until working through practice problems later, on

That's been exactly my experience as well. Sometimes doing a little research on a lunch break gives enough direction on how to spend available time later on my project. Accepting that progress will be slow has been the most difficult a

I think I'm throwing in the towel on my 7 Plus this year. I'd love to keep it around for a bit longer but too many apps and websites are no longer functional. It's starting to become a usability issue.

I grew up in BC as well and never heard it. My parents were from Ontario and always called it the flipper. Because it flips channels I guess. Felt like every household had a different name for it though.

The PIO functionality, I think, is a killer feature for interfacing with retro consoles. I've been working on a Sega Dreamcast controller adapter and the PIO made it pretty easy to start interfacing with the console's custom proto

What would you look for to see if somebody is 'staying relevant'? Side projects? Personally, I would like to explore new technologies, and am still excited to learn, but feel limited by what is actually needed/required in my

I feel you, extremely frustrating when the phone is otherwise in good working order. I've started to get update prompts from apps, on my aging iPhone, even though no new versions exist for my OS.

There is the Zink project[1]. It is an OGL to Vulkan translation layer. [1] https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/zink.html

I had my son's lying around and it definitely happens consistently with the konami code in both the 'learning' and 'playing' modes.

This is certainly an issue. There is a roundabout on my morning commute that regularly has pedestrians crossing inside the roundabout (alongside cars on the outside) because that's the most direct route.

I also don't think 2.5 minutes is unreasonably long or much of a barrier. After spending an hour looking for relevant postings at companies I'm interested in, another few minutes to actually apply is not a big deal. What is truly

I live pretty far north in Canada and have been making nightly timelapses trying to catch the northern lights. What surprised me the most is how common they are here. Most nights, they will be visible for a few minutes or more, weather perm

I was in the same situation with a Macbook Air 2011. At about 9 years old I needed to replace the battery, but got turned away from the Apple Store because it was 'too old'. I tried buying a replacement battery online but it only

At the Whitehorse dam we also had one of the lowest counts of Chinook on record this year. Not looking good for northern sea life at the moment.

If you already have an Apple Watch, I recommend trying WorkOutDoors before looking for another device. It’s a huge step up from the default workout app that I’m still using my Series 3 for everything up to marathons.

Not a good week for internet infrastructure in Canada. Yukon Territory had essentially no internet for most of this Wednesday after the only fibre was broken.

I really like a lot of stylings in modern cars. It's nice to see some harder angles. Never was a fan of the overly smooth, almost bubbly, look of cars from the 90's and 00's.

Same audio issues here. Zoom always wants to set my mic level to 0 and change the default output source for whatever reason. My last company used Teams which I had a much better experience with on Linux (gnome+xorg) than Zoom.

Given that the 'pile of online crap' has been around for a while now and seemingly not going anywhere, having access to this in the browser, and on any OS, sounds pretty convenient.

Installing single IDEs is clunky. Basically it's up to you to put it where you want and then create any shortcuts you may need. Flatpaks make this easier but I would rather not use them. Besides this, I never really felt that Linux was

I haven’t used KDE in a couple years but what you describe sounds like what I encountered with its compositor. When launching fullscreen applications it turns off the compositor for better performance. Tabbing out doesn’t always (or at leas

Definitely agree with you're last point, it makes it so easy to just get something on the screen. I had written an AI for the board game Khet, but wanted an easy way for people to actually have fun playing against it. Godot was the per
