This music video was the reason we decided to upgrade the CD-ROM drive on our family computer, since it could not play without stuttering on our existing one.

I am going through something very similar. My entire family is on the same T-Mobile plan, and on recent iPhones - however, my wife's phone is the only one where RCS fails to work over Wi-Fi (only works over cellular). I've reset h

I remember hanging out in #mpeg3 on EFNet many many years ago and becoming an acquaintance of Justin Frankel while he was working on this. I had made a skin and even a few tray icons for him to use in the app, and some of them are in here.

Meanwhile, I've had two USW-Lite-16-POE's fail just outside their two year warranty period, alongside a CloudKey and other equipment from them. It's just junk and they don't stand behind it. I'm transitioning away f

I have never had a truly successful (by my standards) auto park with my Tesla (with USS). It either fails to "enable" - meaning I can't even start it - or it takes so long to do it's maneuvers I may as well have just don

Used gandi for forever, then they had a major hardware issue and lost customer's data and kinda was rude about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22001822 - so I decided to move my business elsewhere.

I had a weird issue the other day (two days ago?) too where trying to load Microsoft Store/check for updates would just completely freeze the program. And also my start menu would not execute apps - I could search for them and hit ente

I think you mis-read me - what I was saying is, if the repo maintainers wanna just say no, we don't wanna comply - they're fine to do that I guess, I personally think it would be sort of a jerk move. Renaming something on Github i

The response from the repo owner is so bizarre. I believe Cassidy presented his viewpoint (on behalf of the org) pretty straightforward and "nicely", and it feels like the repo maintainer is just trying to play the technicality&#x

I switched to Joplin a while back when Evernote decided to implode itself, and stopped iterating on their product. Now I send auto-donations to Joplin devs via Github Sponsorship. Love it. Syncs to my DropBox and I haven't had any issu

I use a Rainforest https://www.rainforestautomation.com/ device to read my own meter on SDG&E and it works, I think I had to go through an auth process though.

Just use https://privacy.sexy/ or ShutUp10: https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 to do this, probably much safer - and in Privacy.Sexy's case, you get the exact script (and undo script) for eac

The bottom line is, there's no reason to request the non-HTTPS connection in the first place. And there's apparently no checks in the app to make sure it's connected to their real server.

There is nothing new here, though. Apple isn't the one using "the algorithm", the banks are. I watched the interview, and it didn't address why they're targeting Apple other than it's the "Apple card"

I like DHH for the most part, but sometimes on stuff like this, seems so out of touch. This isn't an Apple-created problem - credit scores/etc. are deeply flawed. We all know this. Throwing Apple under the bus is silly, but a big

This is exactly what I do, and it's worked beautifully for me. (domainname)@mydomain.com is pretty standard/easy, and storing it in password manager makes it even easier.
