The last concert I went to was Lord Huron in the Boston House of Blues, in 2018. Not much of a concert guy, clearly. Just make the albums easily downloadable on Bandcamp is all I ask.

Reminder that they also Recently bumped prices a few months ago. My annual renewed just a month before they did that.

I will not be renewing/switching over, either. I had copilot mainly so I could write issues and throw agents at it, while I went off and did other things. Has been great for contained spot work. At this point, I'll go ahead and le

Fallout’s pre-war world feels more familiar than it should, and we should be talking about that. I wrote this article as a mashup between Fallout, peak oil theory, and the slow decay/decline that likely would have happened before the b

For Vimeo customers, the questions are: "What if..." and maybe more importantly, "What now?"

An excellent dissection, but took me a minute to get through it! I really don't know what they were thinking with trying to scare off all the little indie creatives with the pivoting to enterprise stuff, who won in that strategy? And w

I truly do wonder about the amount of tech debt that must be inside of the Messages app on MacOS and iOS. It's got to be massive. I also wonder what they're using (protocol) under the hood that lags behind other chat clients like

Arc was the only Chrome browser that I could stomach as a development browser/environment. Kind of tight-lipped, but I assume it'll keep getting updates? I use Safari day-to-day, but its behaviors are inconsistent with caching whi

I personally prefer the Power Macintosh 6100 form factor, but even I can appreciate the goofy personality of Apple’s engineers to tease Carl Sagan with a first-generation PowerPC Macintosh. “Cold Fusion” on the 8100 was probably the coolest

They seem to make the ride smoother, but they don't seem to help much with distance/runtime per battery charge. Like a minimal/marginal improvement in that regard, vs a standard prop.

The same thing exists for eFoils. We (riders) haven't been too impressed with them.

Yeah, between the two, I strongly prefer BitBucket Pipelines. Feels much cleaner.

I have a hard time understanding why anyone would buy a physical tv that big. I decided to get a projector. Huge surface area. Goes away/out of my sight for the 98% of the time I'm not using/watching it.

As a owner of both slot load and tray load G3's, I strongly prefer the tray loaders. The drives still work, while I have to jam a credit card with double-sided tape into the drive to get a disc out of the slot load drive.

The really should have kept that design around longer, iterated on it. Maybe it just wasn't possible to put a G5 on that small of a logic board, but it's still an absolutely stunning computer. I have one sitting on my kitchen coun

There's a cache of them in a storage unit east of Atlanta. You can still find the listing on Facebook marketplace. I bought a B&W machine from the guy for $50 or $60. Also grabbed a G4 Digital Audio tower. To my surprise, it was a

As if any chrome product doesn't have telemetry, tracking and AI features built into it. I don't advocate for any of this stuff, but I guess it's only bad when Windows does all the same stuff, but not ChromeOS. As for Apple,

Oddly AppKit seems to be one of the most stable desktop frameworks I have worked with. They've made breaking changes, sure, but they haven't been rewriting, and rewriting, and rewriting the same stuff for the last decade and a hal
