There are 10,000+ roundabouts in the US and the number is growing rapidly. One could argue they may even be overused in certain areas (exhibit: Carmel, Indiana).

As an update, I found that some of my issues were due to some bug in FileVault. My Spotlight would seemingly stop working altogether. The only solution was to toggle FileVault off/on. I am using my mac with an LDAP (AD) user account, s

I use Mail.app on macOS as my daily these days, and it’s somehow even worse than this. Especially the search function, which works in even more bizarre ways. It’s truly amazing that we have seemingly regressed in basic desktop functionality

Everything Apple does seems to be designed to drive hardware sales. Why support external drives, when you can be up-sold for larger internal storage (at a huge markup)? The "Photo Library" could simply be a database file with refe

I would love to use and pay for your service, but it's inexcusable than a service that charges $100+ / year has so many trackers that uBlock shows 87 elements blocked just in the account signup flow (/signup/connect-spen

Is there any reason this would not work on a Mac and iterm2? I get the initial encryption effect, but sadly, no decryption :). I tried different fonts and iterm2 settings to no avail. I guess I could try the ncurses option, but curious to s

Really cool design, the Milkdrop tab is a nice touch! I found some of the stations to be perfect as background tunes while working.

It is an open secret that criminal groups also pay unscrupulous T-Mobile employees to assist with SIM-swap attacks. I am not sure at what scale this happens, as those instances _should_ be easy to trace and prosecute. But I have seen eviden

This is a terrible decision just from the optics perspective - alienating those who are more likely to be power users. But how many people do they seriously expect to install the official Twitter app instead? I, for one, will not; as the pr

That 1080p screen would be hard to get used to after working on crisp MBP screens. Especially when staring at text all day. The rest of the laptop does look great for the price.

That's not a solution from Apple support. That's the solution that the USER came up with, after support was satisfied with "nuke your DNS zone" as a solution and closed the case. This all can be fixed with a simple regex

It is amazing, that a company with the amount of resources that Apples has, can screw up support for basic services, such as email, so badly. It appears that it's not possible for a normal person to report actual problems, or get in to

This is not true. Modern top loaders, such as Samsung High Efficiency top loaders don't waste water like the old mechanical top loaders. They weigh the clothing, adjusting the water levels accordingly. They also don't have agitato
