Most AWS docs are over-engineered marketing designed to get you to pull in 8 other billable services just to use the one you wanted in the first place. Knowing how to decipher their docs and navigate support is a resume-worthy skill.

The Eufy SmartTrack card is great! Mine is non-rechargeable and going on year 3. They have released a rechargeable version called the “E30”.

Honestly, not well. It’s hard to articulate to a 4 year old that people like us are hiding for fear that they’ll be taken by “army men”

Accurate, if even a bit softer than how it really is. I never felt unsafe in my west side Chicago community until the Black Hawks started doing daily intimidation runs. Until they abducted community members who were out working one day, gon

In some cases, sure. My anecdote: Electric car. Horn keeps failing. $15 part, $900 to do the work. Why? Because to get to the horn, the entire front end of the car has to be disassembled, including the hood, bumper, fenders, you name it. My

All the takes on this release miss one crucial point: if you want people to adopt E2E encryption, you must reduce friction. For users of Gmail, that means familiar elements and flow to their usual use of Gmail. If this lets even a handful o

Not sure if sarcastic but it’s a bit premature to assume that’s how it’ll play out. The first part — indiscriminate firings - is underway. Whether anyone left will be capable to do the work that will still be there is yet to be seen. Just t

This seems less like professional speaking and more like preemptive feelings management. As a gen-x’er, I find myself having to navigate these waters often as directness is likened to being unnecessarily aggressive, rude, inappropriate, etc

“Aspirational sugar” is as common in startup culture as in Fortune 500 sales contracts, they’re just messaged and “de-risked” differently.

Thanks! That’s all I wanted to see, and you provided a good example. “viscerally offensive” and “SEO spam” made my eyes roll like a slot machine wheel.

You continue to suggest I’ve insinuated he is extorting others and I have done no such thing. Please stop that. A protection racket does not need a quorum of victims to be distasteful or illegal.

The more Matt tries to explain himself, the more this looks like a protection racket.

Welcome to the fray, and congrats on your reply being wonderfully written. Matt would be wise to take your advice.

Now begins the portion of the proceedings where lots of dirty laundry gets aired, discovery feels like a visit to the proctologist, and absolutely nothing good comes of it for either side but for the attorneys. Makes Matt look like just ano

Look into “industrial” or “commercial” displays. Many of them are the traditional dumb display, but they may not have the refresh rate or other features you want in a consumer device.

This demonstrates that the same post-commit checks and tests that were lacking in the product also exist within the marketing department. This is a[nother] highly unserious move and unforced error.

There are many ways to do it free on a Mac, too, including vendor-provided software. SteerMouse fills a niche, it is not a requirement. Akin to, say, HydraMouse on Windows.
