Firefox profiles are indeed great. Especially as they're so easy to backup and restore across machines, even different OS. Some simple fiddling with installs.ini and profiles.ini then run Firefox with -P as you say and you're good

Well yes of course. Upgrading year over year you're not going to really see any major changes. Going from a 14 Pro Max to a 15 Pro Max is pretty minor. My comment was more that I've not had any of the issues I've seen reporte

Perhaps I am just very lucky but I got my 15 Pro Max on Wednesday just gone and it's been nothing short of fantastic. I upgraded from a Xs Max which was 5 years old and it is a superb upgrade imho. Battery life has been excellent getti

16GB base would be nice but given Apple wanting to keep the entry price as low as possible I can't see it happening for a few more years. On the plus side I do find the 8GB unified memory design makes an 8GB Apple Silicon system "

I personally use a 16" 2023 M2 Max MBP maxed out and it is honestly god like. However a good friend of mine uses the latest M2 powered Air with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD (the 24GB upgrade so a stretch too far for him) and I have to say it

Oh yes price increases before planned "sales" are common. I believe there are laws in the UK/EU regarding time frames an item has to be at a certain price before you can say it is "on sale". Something like 28 days s

Yes and it is always worth paying attention to as often items on some kind of offer and so advertised within the store may not be the best value possible for the item. Toilet rolls are a great example. Sometimes you see the 24 pack "

Indeed. It effectively drops the price in Europe by €130 (if you wanted a 256GB model) iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB is €1479 iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB was €1609 That's quite nice and surprising given other companies such as Sony and Microsoft

I don't include HN as 'social media' either mostly because it doesn't constantly ping me when I get a reply. I have to check manually. It also don't change much so checking it once or twice a day for ten minutes isn

I've not heard of this before so just checked it out. Looks quite nice. Amusingly this Orion browser has a far more slick and user friendly first run experience than Arc which is a huge complaint I've had about Arc.

by satysin 3y ago
I couldn't agree with you more. I've been using Arc for the past month or so and it's okay but my god it has a lot of 'stuff' to learn. They have a few videos on their YouTube channel but they're not well mad

It is certainly something that is more on our mind however I don't know if we will do it anytime soon. Our first change will be to go at different times of the year when it is more comfortable. We have always avoided August as it'

No need to apologise, it is a pretty logical thing to assume. We have flown of course but more often we will drive as we usually break the journey up visiting friends and family in Barcelona and Valencia on the way. It takes longer to drive

by satysin 3y ago
It's a ~12 hour drive. No need to fly. I have far more shame about how much food I waste or worse how much I used to consume if I am honest. When I look at the environmental impact of the food I eat it dwarfs everything else. Even if I

Hi mmh0000 apologies for replying like this but not long ago we had a little conversation regarding TRT. I replied to your last message but it is from a while ago and as HN doesn't alert you if you get a reply I've no idea if you

My level came back at 305 so they won’t offer any treatment.

by satysin 3y ago
You're not wrong and my wife certainly shares your opinion too! I am naturally a bit of a worrier about "big" medication regimes like TRT and I over research and over think everything which is obviously not a great thing wh

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have heard very similar stories from many people and it is certainly a pretty good sell for trying TRT. Your initial experience is weirdly similar to mine. My doctor has given me a few different antidep

Yes the recent blood work has all the diabetes, cortisol, thyroid and some other stuff being tested. Plus a brain/pituitary gland MRI in a few days. Thankfully here I get all my results directly in accessible formats (so like a normal

This is of interest to me as I saw an Endocrinologist last Monday as I had a blood test a few weeks ago and my testosterone level was "quite low" at 257 (bottom of the range being 249). Anything under 300 along with symptoms (of w

Indeed it is awful. The BBC has a reasonably good article on this subject today https://www.bbc.com/news/health-66057216

Nope. Sorry. You know on reddit it has that little orangered envelope to notify you of when you have a reply? I use uBlock Origin to nuke even that tiny little envelope (I also remove a lot of other stuff from reddit to be fair). A few year

Indeed. I have an M2 Max MacBook Pro with 64GB and holy shit this thing just doesn't break a sweat for even heavy workload and is still small enough to be my every day laptop I can take with me to do basic work on when I travel about.

AppleTalk is deprecated by Apple for a few years now. You should really be using SMB for Time Machine.

I use a Synology now but I used a Pi for a couple of years before that without issue. I did give it to my daughter to use at university but I very much doubt she actually used it and I've not thought about asking until this post :^)

This was the first thing that popped into my head too as I read Homo Deus a few months ago. A very accessible book for all. I recommend it. It’s not perfect but it’s a good, easy read compared to other books touching on the same subjects.
