If you haven’t already heard of it, you might enjoy the Piano Puzzler podcast[0] “Bruce Adolphe re-writes a familiar tune in the style of a classical composer … [someone calls in and] listens to Bruce play his Piano Puzzler™. They then try

Your story reminded me of one of my own: A few years back I was helping clear out my parents’ garage, as they were having plumbing issues and needed a path cleared for the plumber. Eventually I come across a strange looking box with some we

My comment edit window closed, but if you trust me , I also made up a quick little pre-baked shortcut that should be fairly user-friendly[1]. Will prompt for date range input, calculate and display total upload size, ask for confirmation,

I'm sorry, seems I misspoke. It seems that when you look at an album in Photos you can select all; if you're in the camera roll or elsewhere, you won't get that option. Not sure why Apple would do that, but maybe they'

Have you tried using the Files app for image/file transfers? You can add Samba (and other) shares in there by tapping the '...' in the upper-right corner, hitting 'Connect to Server', then inputting your local serve

I found Krunner entirely by accident after switching from Windows. PowerToys has a quick launcher that's triggered with Alt+Space. Used the shortcut out of habit after switching to a KDE environment, and was pleasantly surprised to see

I can’t say that I’m terribly surprised. AT&T has been complicit in mass surveillance in the past. The first example that comes to mind is Room 641A: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A Frankly, I think it’s

I reluctantly admit that a friend recently tricked me with something similar using a website called “Peter Answers” Same exact concept: you ask a question, your friend types a “petition” (which is actually the answer, disguised as another p

I got around this limitation by adding my home NAS to the Files app. On the iOS side: set up the SMB connection in Files, hit the Share button on files I want to transfer, point it to a folder on the NAS, and transfer. On the PC side, I jus

I definitely believe that. Years ago, I had an interview scheduled with a bank’s IT department. Checked their Glassdoor page and it was littered with negative reviews, with obviously fake positive reviews peppered in. I took the interview a

This “hold an object while falling asleep” technique sounds very similar to a technique I read about maybe 15 years ago at an avant-garde sleep away arts camp. It was in the context of lucid dreaming and not increasing creativity, though. T

This is especially disappointing considering CBS owns what seems to be one of the more popular sports statistic suites: https://www.statcrew.com/

It looks to me that this is a similar concept to those malicious “virus alert” websites that instruct you to call someone in India. Then (after some fearmongering, and maybe bullying) they commandeer your computer, run netstat, and tell yo

That Stephen Malinowski link was great. I don’t know that song by name, but I could unmistakably tell what song it was just by looking at the visualization (even though I left the video muted)!

You should like the JSR site then! The creators have put a lot of love into their site. They have multiple music stations, multiple “TV” channels, a graffiti board, and a chat box that all try to recreate that Jet Set vibe. Just be cautious

Speaking of Krisp, I’m curious about other people’s experiences using their noise suppression with Discord. I personally had it enabled (by accident) for over a week, and during that week I noticed people were either ignoring me or not hear

I spent a bit of time on Recompose’s site a couple of months back out of curiosity. One of the things that stuck out to me was that there were stipulations regarding a person’s medical records. The presence of prion diseases or hepatitis we

What you said makes perfect sense but I still refuse to use a platform whose founder called people “dumb fucks” for trusting him and using the platform.

I want to think they’re referring more to the culture of doing things you wouldn’t normally do in order to gain popularity. Like that one girl who drank a ton of Benadryl. The problem is that those people exist on every social media platfor

My experience in tech support was similar though, of course, it also depends on the person. I’ve met CAD folks who didn’t understand a password reset, and secretaries who gave great feedback on infrastructure. I usually experienced much les

I’d have to see more of the can design but this looks weak to me. The 'S' and 'E' are each one color. The ‘X’ is both red and blue, and seems to only exist because part of a 'P'(?) intersects the background. Bu

I just ordered some WD Reds and a Synology box a couple of days ago, not knowing about this issue. Should I cancel the HDDs and go for another brand, or will I be okay if I don’t use ZFS?

I think someone in the comments of that thread said Maxis was the original publisher, and looking it up I do see Cinematronics listed as developers. However, the taskman OP didn’t necessarily say that he wrote Space Cadet pinball, he said h

Part of the necessity of Office at the company I work is that they use macros in Excel to help with certain tasks. Looking at it now, GSheets has macros but I’m not sure that they’re as functional as a VBA macro. GDocs has found a nice spot

Yeah, that’s a big mistake. The author should have at least had a new key cut, preferably one with a difficult-to-pick bitting. From a security perspective (which is presumably the point when discussing locks), one would use different keys

This happened to me once, the second time I ever had a panic attack (the first being when I was a toddler). My heart started racing and I hyper focused on it; took my blood pressure and it was a high so I called the advice nurse who told me

You might benefit from a Tile. Put one on your keys and/or wallet, they locate bidirectionally via sound blasting (e.g. keys > phone, phone > keys). Or maybe Bluetooth beacons would work just as well? Though if you’re in it for t
