I liked the first version of the game, but found it impossible to finish after a few levels. I hope there’s an easy mode for people like me who want to enjoy a game without having to aim to be the fastest or best player in the world. I’d ap

I think this is the beginning of the downfall or end of OpenAI…well, the downfall had already started. It may not be apparent, but the company structure and the grip of the (now returned) CEO doesn’t sound like a good recipe for “open” or e

There’s a free version that allows you to limit the charging to a specific level. I found this app useful over the years and I bought the lifetime license when it was on a sale. Otherwise I wouldn’t have paid for it since I don’t like the i

I use the paid version of an app called Al Dente [1] to set the battery charging level to a specific limit. The app has a free mode. It has more features than what I stated, and works on Intel Macs and Apple Silicon Macs (limited only by wh

Not an expert. The LED lamps require a driver circuit, which are generally poorly designed. Any gains in the possible lifespan of LEDs is offset by these, allowing manufacturers to sell LED lamps more often…not as often as older technologie

HGST was bought by WD long ago. Has that had any impact on the types of drives sold or the quality?

My simple rule in the same period: avoid WD at all costs, prefer HGST (which later became part of WD) and use Seagate mostly. I’ve seen variations of these personal rules, and during a time when Backblaze didn’t exist yet (and came up with

This is what is so annoying with companies these days. Microsoft has them by the #%!!$ and they’ll continue taking all the productivity loss and other risks just so someone can check a box and say “We trust in Microsoft to manage this, and

Whenever I see or hear about keyboard shortcuts being weird or not working, for some reason I can only think of Catalyst or Electron, both bringing frustratingly poor user experiences. Apple’s own Catalyst based apps (Reminders, as an examp

How else would you do things as root or superuser without exposing everything? If your sudo configuration is ALL = ALL (or is a variant of this), then sudo opens everything up for use/abuse. But if you carefully construct the configura

This song has a more…”distant” quality to the sound. It doesn’t seem (to me) like the other songs from before. The lyrics seem a bit too short in comparison too. But it’s haunting enough for me to listen to it several more times. I was rece

AGPL only forces the company to release the sources even if it’s used on a SaaS platform. There’s nothing in AGPL to prevent commercial use/sale or packaging this together with something else (as long as source is made available).

Every single part of HN’s inaccessibility is intentional, with a very strong and unshakable foundation beneath it. This is empirically proven by the fact that YCombinator hasn’t spent any effort on changing it for over a decade and a half.

The paid version of SuperDuper! can do incremental backups whereas the free version will always do a full backup and take more time. I’d say it’s worth it to pay for it since you get updates for at least a few years for that version. I use
