In the end, for me personally, I give people respect for their roles and the benefit of the doubt that they're in the position for the right reasons. But when I don't get that kind of thing in return then it just pisses me off. Wh

The problem I personally ran into as a one person IT department was that the VP of marketing had more power over me, as a manager, and that meant more to my supervisor (the CEO) than me fighting to do things as correctly as possible. I was

I usually just have mine in the Safari downloads folder. Then use Files to open them. If you’re on Linux, using iCloud to add files there should be easy enough as well. Then I just added them as I needed them. I’m on a Mac though so it’s a

Apple Books is actually pretty good if you have epub. I have used it a fair bit in the past (I now use a Kobo, or physical books primarily). But Apple Books was the best I found on iOS. There were some others that were pretty good but they

Been on an iPhone since the original and mostly until maybe the XS got a new model every other year, since the XS I've been on a 4-5 year cycle, with a 14 Pro to replace my XS. I also have a Pixel 7 that I use primarily as a home phone

Do Teslas even have functional rear view mirrors? I thought they did everything with cameras on the dash and only had as much shitty rear view mirror as necessary to not violate the law necessitating there be a rear view mirror.

I started reading a great deal more at the start of the pandemic. I've kept it going since and it has been a real boon. I also switched back to physical books because I actually own them..

The product isn’t released yet. I would hazard a guess that the source will come after the device is officially available

I can’t afford something like this but I would absolutely get something similar to this if I could. My sump pumps are literally one of my biggest home ownership worries.

Xbox has killed Xbox... have you not seen the sad state of affairs there for, I don't know, the past generation or two of consoles?

I have my own beef with 1Password, but having used both Bitwarden and 1Password, I still find 1Password to be the better UX and more secure solution. Bitwarden is also worse at filling with their browser extension, rather significantly. Tha

Yea, maybe at some point I'll get back out there and hike the Minong trail where all the beavers are. I'm really glad we didn't this last time though, we got a TON of rain. I'm guessing the Minong would've been incr

This was a my favorite book last year. Friend and I went on a hike across Isle Royale and while we skipped the area that is inhabited by beavers they had the book at the gift shop and it sounded pretty interesting. REALLY good book and made

I want that experience I seen on some other device at some point... Palm? I forget now. In tablet mode, iPad OS. Touch being the primary operation. Basically just as we see it now. In a pseudo desktop mode, macOS, where you get the power of

There are a few big caveats that I looked at when I recently upgraded my iPad. Screen. The Pro screens are better. How much that matters is up to you. Given I am into photography and wanted to have the nicer screen this mattered to me. You

I work as a software engineer in the non-profit sector, within education. It's going to be a wild ride as to whether I have a job or not in a year. We are (almost) entirely dependent on grants. The money we get that isn't from gra

For what it's worth, while I don't agree with the moron bit of what OP said, I have felt like I have seen HN leaning more pro-Trump. And it does also feel like saying anything critical of him can be heavily downvoted. There really

Absolutely insane that this is what we've come to. It is mind blowing to me that this is what people want. We are regressing this country so rapidly that we are likely to become one of those shithole countries the president so loudly p

I really didn’t enjoy The Wayfarers. But I absolutely adore the Monk & Robot books. I just wish she would write more. It does not feel finished after two books. That series is my warm blanket on a cold winter day book.

Trump is holding that all hostage and is likely rooting for Russia (or worse). We know he idolizes him. So, Zelenskyy is supposed to just lay down and give up everything for a lopsided deal that will just hurt them more? The US is just goin

Not a conservative but I can respect the old school conservatives to some extent. Present day conservatives are just awful people in general in my experience.

You should get 5 years of updates out of it I suspect. It was originally released in September of 2021. So, 2026 might be the final year of iOS updates you'll get, then it's just a matter of how long they back port any security

Thanks, I ended up going with this one. Looks like there's a new Flint 3 coming, but rumors seem to be indicating it is going to be more expensive and is possibly not OpenWRT compatible due to chipset. So, Flint 2 it is for now.
