I used Amazon One at my workplace all the time, but I only used it at the self-checkout line since I'd rarely get more than a few items, and the lines are shorter at this crowded neighborhood WF. There, I would scan all my items and us

My parents had their account with Deutsche Bank private bankers. They had moved overseas and sold their house in the 90s and were living off the proceeds. Everyone got lucky that they bought their house in a big city in the 1960s. Since the

That's fair. But I always think of it as an intern I am paying $20 a month for or $200 a month. I would be kind of shocked if they could do everything as well as I'd hoped for that price point. It's fascinating for me and wor

Ok, so here is an interesting case where Claude was almost good enough, but not quite. But I’ve been amusing myself by taking abandoned Mac OS programs from 20 years ago that I find on GitHub and bringing them up to date to work on Apple si

I’m a little confused by Marginalia. I looked to find out what its purpose was, but couldn’t find it. My bad, I guess, but then again I’m not a search engine. It is pretty cool for a DIY project but the results were really off, especially f

6 an hour isn’t unusual at a dedicated center in the US. I had early cataract surgery at a “mill” here in NJ. There are similar centers all over. In talking both with my eye doctor and my cousin who is an eye surgeon in on the other side of

Would love to understand the downvotes on this. I just laid out my problems with these laptops. If you have a solution, I am all ears.

I am the exact opposite. I used to hear about people going to coffee shops and doing work and I would go there and I’d just be completely distracted by everything around me. I was forced to work in an open office for a while and I would hav

If only Apple could make a laptop that could last more than two days with the clamshell closed and energy settings set to the most conservative. I have an Asus ROG Z13 and Lasts over three weeks when asleep. I have had an M1, M2, and now an

It uncovered a conspiracy nobody is talking about in my conversation with it. Who is that orange man? AU: who assassinated Donald Trump? Liquid-3B: Donald Trump was not assassinated. He died on April 13, 2021, from complications related to
