I was livid when I discovered that my carrier had implemented that with no opt out. I worked around it by implementing shortcuts that disable my iPhone's WiFi when I leave my house until I've returned or reached one of the handful

I love this project, but that server setup makes me hope that Ryan doesn't live in earthquake country.

My wife and I had a great time wandering around the Underground City when we visited Montreal. We were there in the fall, but it sunk in just how cold Montreal winters get when we went to a club that had a coatroom the size of my first apar

The article covers this: > Around the world, border agencies overwhelmingly focus on imports, hunting for people and drugs. In many countries, exports are hardly checked at all. Anyone can book a container.

Definitely. If 2K supported ClearType I would have stuck with it on my personal machines for another half a decade.

I've called 911 twice for borderline issues and it played out both times just like you said - I said what I was seeing and to let me know if I should call a different line, they confirmed the issues were emergencies, and the rest playe

It's an extra step, but a surprisingly simple one. When I opened a checking account recently the bank told me which credit agency they'd use, and I unfroze that account and ChexSystems (another credit agency you should freeze with

Most of the article is about Gehrke and King, but the last fraud case mentioned is absolutely vile: > Another case alleges a scheme in Florida to distribute misbranded HIV drugs. Prosecutors say drugs were bought on the black market and

When I was a kid HP products were well-supported and famed for their durability. My dad still uses the HP scientific calculator his father bought in the '70s and my uncle has an old PC hooked up to a '90s LaserJet printer that wor

This mid-'90s time capsule and the decade-plus of comments below it summarize how a lot of Freehand users felt about the program: https://philip.greenspun.com/wtr/illustrator-v-freehand.html .

I hadn't thought about Freehand in a decade and now I'm angry at Adobe for killing it all over again. It never got in your way and let you fully focus on your work. Illustrator never lets you forget that you're using a tool t

It's interesting to see a post here that flips the script a little, focusing on the negative consequences of growth-at-all-costs for those attempting to create good journalism and reviews as opposed to those seeking to consume them. We

I'd evaluated Evernote alternatives for years, but that ludicrous price hike was the kick in the pants I needed to finally choose one (UpNote, for its similarity to early Evernote and one-time $29.99 price for Premium) and migrate to i

The dealer was security-conscious enough to keep a $2+ million a month dark web drug business going for five years, but blabbed about hiding his assets in plain English from a prison phone he knew was being recorded? Wow. Even if the phone

Only your coworkers can see what you're up to in a glass meeting room at your company office, though.

Exactly, and the facility with real conference rooms that we switched to had nice solo workspaces as well. The decor was a little more corporate, true, but we somehow struggled through that.

I'd used WeWork offices for solo work with no issues, so I didn't do sufficient diligence when I booked a conference room at one for a confidential client meeting. The room's walls were all clear and so thin that any conversa

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. It looks like I'll be sticking with Forklift 3 for the long haul. I did just install Double Commander on my Steam Deck, though. It's a vast improvement over Dolphin.

Have any Forklift users here on MacOS tried Double Commander? A two-panel file manager of some kind is a hugely useful productivity tool, I'm just wondering if there's a reason to switch to this one. If not I'll give it a go

A niche sub equivalent succeeding on, say, Lemmy would either require the existing reddit sub to close and migrate there or for the Lemmy active user count to grow to the point where a critical mass of users interested in that niche want to

The Voyage of the Beagle is a fun read, with many little asides about what the animals Darwin ate tasted like. Puma meat was one he called out as particularly delicious and remarkably like veal.

24-year-old me would have been Googling where to buy this by the time I was halfway through the article. It's not for me any more, but Acronym definitely hit what they were going for with this. Laptop and phone design used to be a lot

Yeah, paying high performers big money to leave over skills mismatches makes sense for a FAANG but would be suicidal for a startup.

I'd always assumed my cat drools when she gets a good knead on simply because she's purring so hard, but it makes sense that it's related to nursing behavior.

That was the killer BBEdit feature for me, back when I was building my first static web sites. Making precise global layout changes without using a web template system felt like magic.

For six months Siri interpreted my requests to call anyone as "Call Paul." It still might, but at that point I gave up and changed Paul's name in Contacts to stop accidentally bothering the poor guy.

What snares a lot of well-meaning music fans into wasting money on audio woo is that the first upgrades can be mind-blowing. Let's stick with headphones for simplicity. Pairing, say, a $400 set with a well-mastered album you've li

They won't be snagging professionals with this, and in this specific case I think that's fine. I expect most of the people who'd fall for it are young or immature people, trying to get back at someone who beat them in a game
