It's not just about sound but also the way it feels in your hands when you play it. I had a ~$400 Squire Stratocaster as my main guitar that sounds great and is nearly indistinguishable from a Fender, but I had a hard time playing it f

This makes me really happy. I think one of my first internet experiences was in an AOL chatroom, and someone told me to do Alt + F4 to fix something, and I was really mad that they tricked me when I realized what it did, but I think it'

I think if you have an E5 license there is already thoughtcrime functionality built-in. I remember someone demoing this to me in a Teams user group, and no one seemed to think it was creepy at all. In addition to flagging keywords it also u

I can't stand how Google recommends this, as a dark pattern that their TOTP app is special and that users have to use it for 2FA for Google. There are so many better TOTP apps out there (like Authy or Aegis). For a while, Google Authen

This law is a terrible idea, since it's overbroad and will be abused. However I also think that the addictive design of social media is still something that deserves further scrutiny. I'm really curious how prevalent the phenomeno

Php is a beast of an attack surface. On every php install I try to do as much hardening as I can, especially with `disable_functions`, since you can make it much harder for someone to get a useful reverse shell, or other nasty things, like

I can definitely attest to this, I have two brother cats, and usually calling one of their names gets the other's attention to, as if to say "oh I see how it is, you invite him and not me". I'm also really happy this is

This. Striking a tone of curiosity helps soften what you're saying, versus creating an accusation that they feel they have to defend against. Ideally, it'll open up the person you're talking to, so they can join in your curio

I really don't know why these were/are a thing. The laser is a lot more sensitive than a stylus so it ends up picking up a ton of extra surface noise. You could do some noise cancelling I suppose but that defeats the purpose of an
