I realized early on that sometimes management thinks that if you don't look stressed than your not taking it seriously enough. Phrases like "I don't feel that you have a sense of urgency" really messed with my head back

I have a old keyboard (Ensoniq SQ1-Plus) where the battery doesn't work right (even when changed) and I was going to put ML Studio on a Raspberry Pi or Mini PC with a USB MIDI device to record. But this thing is exactly what I'm l

With me (I have ADHD), I would never be able to listen to an audiobook alone, I would zone out and day dream one paragraph in. But If I'm playing a game on my phone, I can listen and pay attention for hours.

The only thing I liked when I did use Facebook was the "wall". To be able to post on a friend's wall semi- publically where their friends can see it. Most other Facebook clones have had the idea of tagging, but it wasn't

But - hear me out - if all of your servers did have wifi - and it was usually disabled - but you could enable it, move the server, then disable it - that might be something? I know having a redundant server is better - but there's some

My phone NEVER connects properly and if I want to use it for streaming, I have to spend 2-3 minutes connecting it every time. This has always been the case. Past 3 cards, past 6 phones. Now-a-days I load up a small flash drive for the car w

A related thing that happens a lot is when the demo is way slower than it was when you were testing it. But at least this one can be explained by screen sharing applications adding latency to your refresh rate. It really is slower when you
