You could sign up for fastmail and point your domains DNS records there. It's $5/mo and they make it easy to import your existing emails from gmail. I switched to them when Google stopped offering free workspace accounts. It'

I use it frequently, and there has been a major bug since launch that seems present on multiple platforms (desktop, mobile, Android, Apple). Seemingly at random, though I have suspicions that it's related to ads, the currently playing

The G Pro X Wireless felt awesome and first and seemed like a great headset, but my mind changed when I ran into issues and saw how many others had issues as well. If they made it a bit more durable I would say it would be almost perfect. I

I'm not 100% positive, but it seems to be. Blowing into the front of the mouse would fix it for a few minutes. I saw a bunch of threads about it the last time I looked into it. If I recall correctly, there were firmware updates that cl

They're mostly a computer peripheral company. They've always made a ton of products like keyboards, mice, webcams, speakers, headsets, microphones, game controllers, etc. I've only experienced issues with fragile plastic part

Logitech is no longer the great company it used to be, so I have decided to no longer purchase their products. I purchased a G Pro X Wireless Headset less than 2 years ago, and I'm already on my second warrranty replacement (3 total he

It doesn't surprise me. Spectrum is currently the only non-dsl provider in my area, so I'm basically forced to use their service since I moved here. The first time I paid with one of my cards, the bank flagged it as suspicious and

> Squash/rebase also plays horrendously with my local branches. This is a very good point, and it has been slightly annoying at times with this approach. It hasn't been a major pain point for me, so I've just dealt with it

GitHub actually keeps these in the pull request indefinitely if you delete the branch. You can also restore the branch at any time if needed. We have the branches set to automatically delete when a PR is merged.

I agree with the idea, but disagree with the approach. This seems like a lot of extra work for not much, or maybe even less, benefit. The process I've set up for my team allows us to get the best of both worlds, in my opinion, with alm

I lost my fiancée to cancer a few years ago, and this just reminded me that I suggested she create a GitHub account years ago. I didn't know she had used it, but this post prompted me to check, and it turns out she created some (good)

This drives me crazy, especially on Spotify. I've been uploading some of my collection to Google Play Music to get around this, but I'm probably switching to Plex in the near future. For an extreme example of this, check out Blind

Chrome has better devtools. Personally I use Firefox on my MacBook for slightly better battery life and the tools are good enough for the most part. AFAIK in terms of batter life it goes Safari > Firefox > Chrome. I feel like all of t

I love Sublime Text, and purchased a license years ago. I'd love to be able to use it on JS projects. Do you have any suggestions for me to have a better experience with it?

That's just one example of broken syntax highlighting, and it's about the simplest a .vue file can be. It becomes more apparent/annoying in larger projects when you see perfectly valid chunks of code underlined in red or all

I've also used Sublime for years, but recently I've been using VS Code. VS is miles ahead when working with modern Javascript, both in terms of linting and syntax highlighting. Have a look at these screenshots of a single-file Vue
