My gmail account is old enough to drink. Too bad that doesn't count for something..

As an end user, all I really care about is that the watch doesn't buzz every single time my long-winded colleague hits <enter> on slack, but that I do see slack notifications when I'm able to look at my phone. And I always

3+ year old XREAL Air AR Glasses. I bought them to code more effectively on my laptop at my then girlfriend (now wife)'s house. The display was too pixely and distracting for me to code on. However, its plenty good enough for videos.

Same. I just wish Garmin would get their act together with filtering notifications on iOS. No, I'm sorry, not every app on my phone should be important enough to buzz my wrist. Filtering works fine for Garmin on Android, and apparent

Great point. For media consumption on the go, I use AR glasses. They are considerably cheaper than the upgrade from an 18Pro to a Duo, and give you an absolutely giant screen.

How is Miami not near the bottom of the list? Every time there is a moderate rainfall, streets flood like crazy. Plus we are in hurricane alley, and some models project that most of the Florida peninsula will be under water in 50-100 year

Skip forward / back is so janky and annoying. Eg, left or right on the remote wheel moves the timeline, but doesn't change the play position until you press the center button. I wish there was an option to skip immediately.

This person is supposedly an executive. I doubt most executive could pass an FAANG technical interview.

However, Strike 3 argues that this is no ordinary home pirate, using the timing of the downloads as evidence. On March 20, 2025, the porn producer’s general counsel first emailed Meta’s lawyers with forensic evidence of BitTorrent activity

I HATE it when a company does a staged rollout of something after making a big announcement. If you're going to announce something, then don't stage the rollout. Its off by default after all..

I'm more of a firefox person, but does this impact other chromium based browsers that have retained MV2? Eg, is there another repo for extensions beyond the chrome web store? I'm wondering because my wife has a subscription to sp

Running what workload? How can I reproduce it?

I'm so sick of "up to 2x faster" ...THAN WHAT? ON WHAT WORKLOAD? How can I reproduce these claims? I really miss when vendors would run the SPEC benchmark suite and performance was quantitative, and not qualitative.

“Nobody had business cards” That sounds accurate. I worked for a NIC company that had one of the first full speed 10GbE packet sniffers in the early 2000s, and some of our customers were 3-letter govt agencies. We'd get support req

We need to get serious about geo-engineering of some form or another. We have seen time and time again that we simply do not have the willpower to reduce climate change. So I'm becoming convinced that the only short- and medium-term s

The problem is that 30 hours slowly becomes far less over time with software bloat and battery degradation. What I hated when I had a watch with a tiny batter like this is that if I wanted both sleep tracking AND the ability to track my mo

I'll gladly take a 20min hold after having to resort to screaming "give me a fucking human" or driving the the pharmacy JUST TO TALK TO a human in the exceptions, which seem to be about 75% of my interactions with CVS/W

Actual personal service from a human being is the main reason that I'd choose a small regional pharmacy over a local CVS or mail-order. It seems to me like personal service is the ONLY advantage a regional chain like this has. If I w

Sadly, we're both on iPhone and you cannot share Wi-Fi like that on iPhone :( This was a bummer just the other day where my iPhone somehow (and I still don't know how) auto-signed into an amazingly fast wifi AP managed by my cell

My wife swears by using a FireStick. It was miserable due to hotel captive wifi portals often failing to work properly with the browser of the FS, and even when it does work, typing your name/room number is miserable on a TV.. Adding

I never used WordStar, but I've been an emacs user since 1989 and I love how they use the control key & that they shipped a tool to swap capslock/control. Swapping caps/control has been a constant in my life since I stop

It is sad that that FFS doesn't support FFS (BSD Fast File System) which inspired the architecture of the ext filesystem (and was the basis for a lot of unix filesystems).

The AI bubble has increased the prices of nand and ram by a factor of 4, so a 3x increase seems reasonable. Companies that are not big enough to have long term contracts with ram/nand vendors have been hit really, really hard by this

This really resonates with me. The ability to quickly writing one off, personalized apps really seems to be the strong suite of GenAI. A month or so ago, I had claude write a visualizer for some data. There is an existing python viewer, b

One thing that makes me nervous about the increased use of SIMD in new ways is that more processes will be using SIMD. This, in turn, make context switches that much more expensive as the SIMD registers must be saved and restored when swit

At least in the US, its hard to find single-purpose over the counter medicines. Most "cold" remedies now also include acetaminophen. So that makes it easier to OD on acetaminophen if you take some by itself and then don't r
