I remember Apple products being the realm of graphics designers, videographers, and other art professionals back in the XP days. I thought they went mainstream later, as Windows Vista coincided with the iPhone release.

These stories scare me. I'm happy that you were able to enjoy glimpses of your mother's past. Mine is showing signs that several of us believe to be dementia, but she refuses to be seen and screened. It has gotten worse over time

I'm actually with you. Having read some of Wendell Berry's work, he comes across to me as an impractical dreamer. Not only do his ideals not scale to support humanity, but he refuses to acknowledge the external impact of his decis

> that never meant us any harm This is absurdly false. I think the war with Iran is not justified. It is a waste of money, a waste of human life, and a waste of our world influence. But there are many in Iran who literally wish death to

Ditto. My experience with AWS support has been generally disappointing.

I don't think so, no. It does not appear to be functioning as an OSX device driver. It's just hosting a network print server in docker.

Yes, I no longer pay extra money for Logitech. If the quality is as bad as a cheap offbrand from China, why wouldn't I pay less for the cheap offbrand? I'm glad to pay for quality, but Logitech no longer seems to offer good qualit

Yep. If you had the CPU overhead available, you could speed up your entire computer by enabling full-disk compression and then defragmenting. It's difficult to accurately describe just how slow it was to move data to and from a spinnin

There's a set of lights in the lower left-hand edge and on the very upper right-hand edge. When it's time to select a mission look for the yellow arrow near those lights. Hitting the lights lets you select a mission. Sending the b

Right or wrong, there are a lot of people who treat guys differently based on what they drive. In a corporate office there is social pressure to drive something that fits your role. Can you ignore that pressure? Of course. Do what you want

Microsoft Trusted Signing only tells me you were able to get a key. If this is intended to be an open source project, transparency would go a long way. The source code and actual history will make a big difference. If this is not intended t

The normal corolla does not have a turbo at all. Besides the turbo, the GR Corolla has a completely different engine, different transmission, all wheel drive, limited slip transaxle and differential, and completely different suspension.

This reeks of likely malware. - Fake commit history - No source code, despite being hosted on github - Windows-only binaries available for download If I weren't on my work computer I would pull down those binaries to see what is in the

That is not a modern Corolla iM. The iM had about 130hp. The GR has 300. The iM had comfortable, "sensible Corolla" suspension. The GR has race suspension. This is not a "basically stock" corolla. It's actually a re

I've wanted a Porsche my entire life. Doesn't have to be a track monster - actually, I'd prefer a lower-powered one. I want the handling of a Boxster, but a truly fast car is only fun on the track. When I was young, I couldn&

There are new hybrids available for $30k. There are new vehicles available for $22k. There are reasonable used vehicles available for $10k. The problem with the Slate isn't that cheaper vehicles exist. The problem with the Slate is tha

I completely agree. A base Prius is $30k. A base Kia Niro is $27k. Those are hybrids and not EV's, but 50+mpg is not bad. Those also come with power windows and many other features and creature comforts that the Slate doesn't. $35

This is nitpicky (and it supports your point, I'm not arguing): Colocated data centers became a commodity decades ago. Currently they are a scarce commodity that's in high demand, but I agree with you that this will eventually com

During his tenure, yes. Volcker remains famous among finance nerds, because it turns out he was right. He caused a recession and risked his own job, but in doing so he successfully reigned in runaway inflation. While Volcker was controversi

Just in case this isn't hyperbole, no. It means an LLM should not be given that much privilege and that you are responsible for reviewing the tool's output and approving its actions.

Eh, separation of concerns. Given NASA's PR budget, it seems reasonable that they should be able to produce quality launch coverage. The many people involved in safely launching a rocket are not responsible for providing launch coverag

This is true in the USA where motorcycles are expensive toys. When I visit India, most motorcycles on the road seem to be very quiet in comparison. The constant sound of horns is more annoying than the engine noise.

The 5 little fans are on high while the box fan is on low. The box fan is capable of much higher airflow, but the objection is noise. The PC case fans have been specifically designed to be as quiet as possible. The Lasko box fan ... well, t

Part of the difference might be our obsession with sugary foods and drink. There are several different kinds of wasps here. Paper wasps and mud daubers are not all that aggressive and you can ignore them, unless you have a sugary drink outs

I wholeheartedly disagree. Grocery stores in the US are typically much larger than grocery stores abroad. A Kroger, Publix, Piggly Wiggly, Schnuck's, or HyVee will typically have just as many healthy food options as a grocery store abr

I agree with both these points, though I'm much more willing to check a bag when traveling on vacation than when traveling on business. If I were to lose a bag on vacation there wouldn't be the same consequences. On vacation I don
