This list is frustrating to read because it reminds me of all the time I've spent dealing with these bugs. Not all of them thankfully but more than half steal my time at least once on a weekly basis. They're all bad but I think

Interesting tool, would probably be super useful if I had more knowledge of the things floating around out there. I'm usually just concerned with photographing the galactic core on dark nights. I didn't have enough domain knowle

A couple decades ago I came into posesion of some late model compaq servers, some fibre channel equipment, and a stack of small FC disks. Thanks to my MSDN sub I then had the necessary bits to build a proper MS server cluster. Thanks to t

Perhaps, but I value this simple explanation of the setup because it serves as a "these parts work well for this purpose" testimony. I'm already familiar with Manfrotto quality but not in this use type. It's nice to ha

I would if I could but like I said, sometimes watching a video isn't an option. The move in some areas to publishing everything as a video instead of writing a proper article is problematic for multiple reasons. I am glad that most t

Data hoarders. I'm in a plex group on fb and there's people there with libraries that they could never personally watch all of. It sometimes seems like it's more a game of collecting all the things than it is about actually

If they were only arresting people not in the country illegally and doing it with constitutionally guaranteed due process then you may have a point. But they aren't. They are arresting, injuring, killing people who are exercising the

As someone who has built multi-camera live broadcast systems and operated them you are 100% correct. There is color correction, image processing, and all the related bits. Each of these units costs many times more and is far more capable

Yeah I have no idea how they pulled off the structural piece. The building was built long before the technology was invented. It is a specialized building though. I was reading about its renovation/expansion in 2014. Apparently ther

Back 30 odd years ago I was doing work with a graduate/post graduate chem-e/material science group at the U of MN. I was working with a PhD candidate who was working on synthetic insulin. Part of the project was attempting to us

This reminds me of a story I heard about a bus driver who would always pull away from the stop right on schedule even if a regular rider was running up. His calculation was the 30 seconds spent waiting for one rider was an aggregate of man

I had the same experience, loved my cardboard bricks. My kid never connected with them the same though even though my kid is big on building toys. Now they mostly just take up space, should probably give them away.

Screen devices can be a toy but it takes very intentional use of them. My child has had an old iPhone se since 4yo. It has no network connection. I load music on it. It only has music, camera, and voice recorder apps. Like most toys it

I actually played mouse trap but my kid and their cousins do nothing with the game and love to just setup the trap. That game from the 80s has become a favorite toy of the gen alpha crowd when visiting the grandparents.

That's a common refrain that frankly just isn't backed up by analysis of the inflation adjusted price of Lego over time. https://www.pricing-evolution.com/p/surprising-trends-in-leg... The data in the graph f

These are all good toys, my middle elementary kid really likes magnatiles. That said, I still think Lego runs the board. My 40yo Lego is still in use, I still get pleasure out of it and my kid gets even more. My kid and I just finished te

I think the point is that winter can create periods where there is neither adequate wind or adequate sun. Having strong wind production at some times will only be good if there's a way to store the excess. That's exactly what th

I loved NOLF and NOLF2. I was actually thinking about pulling them off the shelf and loading them up again the other day. I had no idea that the rights around them was such a mess.

The power drill mention in the headline is a bit click-baity because in the end while a power drill was used it was unnecessary and was not the solution to the problem. Had they known how to properly use the hardware security devices they

Agreed. I have an A40 GPU in an epyc system right now specifically because it's a single slot card. I did not pay for gobs of PCIE expansion in this system just to block slots with double wide GPUs. Sure it can't do the heavy l

I agree. I played one game and it was more frustrating/annoying than satisfying. I just didn’t find it enjoyable and I usually find hard sudoku pretty enjoyable. The run rule makes sense but it just didn’t get any more intuitive the

The big feature miss for me in this announcement is baked in support for configuration sync between servers. Redundant DNS is common and it would be nice if pi-hole supported this oob. Making it even better would be an ability to see sta

I find it interesting that you chose to respond to my comment like this as opposed to others which are more egregious on the issues you bring up. That aside though, I did mention a number of issues with the write up. Anyone interested is w
