I recommend Transferwise [1](now just Wise) for getting money to someone in Ukraine. They've got low fees and the ability to send money to Privatbank cards. Used them many times, while in Ukraine and while in the US. 1: https:/&#

The biggest problem with headphone dongles for me and my family is that they don’t last. The Apple one has great sound but doesn’t take long to start cutting out (from getting yanked on in a pocket, probably). I bought an all-metal, tiny US

Sometimes I type in just such a search and scan a couple pages of results, looking for the least “optimized” titles. The same applies to YouTube: I’m not looking for “10 secrets to …”. It takes time but I often find a decent blog or a good

Not sure why this was posted here? After reading this article, you’d think Ukraine is a terrible, dying place not worth visiting - a take that strays into “Russian propaganda” territory. But it’s not; even with all the corruption and dysfun

They use full forms (“I am”) in the email but then at the end write “we’ll” - not something I’d expect to see in a legal notice!

I have a Surface Go 2 running Arch. Great for dev work, aside from the low amount of storage (128 GB). Its portability is hard to beat for trips; Patagonia’s lovely Atom 8L sling bag is big enough for the tablet with some room left over.

The real gold is XDA's forums, where users and developers talk about rooting and hacking their devices. In contrast the articles on the front page are low on content, like this article on Surface Pro 9 rumors one day after the releas

I'm not surprised by this. Readdle's apps, namely 'Documents', have always been my go-to on iOS for editing PDFs and transferring files[1]. But they went and added a useless VPN to Documents, then released a 're-des

Slightly related: the Capitol One Mobile app just… doesn’t work in Ukraine. Maybe they thought US citizens would never travel there. Thankfully, it works through a VPN.

I’ve had the same experience: Apple cables last years for me. The cable that came with my iPad Pro survived years of use at home and abroad.

It’s especially true of me when I’m making a purchase where I don’t already have a favorite brand. I know I gravitate towards the most familiar thing, which may be the deodorant brand I saw a friend using (true story).

Kvas(1), a fermented bread drink from Russia and Ukraine, might fit the bill with its alcohol content of 0.5-1% (it’s considered a non-alcoholic drink, but I’ve had Kvas that was _strong_). There’s nothing better than cold kvas on a hot day

Yes. On my Surface Go 2, WSL2 got me 99% of the way there, but having to forward my ADB port (for KaiOS dev) and then other issues (unresponsive X apps on resume) led me to install Arch and then wipe Windows. More specifically: i3 helps me

In Ukraine and Russia, your passport for ID and passport for travel may be two separate documents - паспорт and загранпаспорт, the former is probably what Griskha meant by 'internal'.

This would have been awesome in Alaska, where we had only one option for ISP... we weren't in the boonies either. We just barely got DSL.

I love buying gear that I can take care of and otherwise maintain. This includes a fountain pen - a Lamy 2000 that writes wonderfully and holds plenty of ink - and a pair of wired Shures. Previously I had a great pair of earbuds from MeeE

I'm happier and happier with my wired Shure SE215s. I realize that wireless is super convenient, but for someone who doesn't use their headphones a whole lot - mostly for long conversations and videos, cables don't bother me
