   This has been my struggle with YouTube, particularly gaming channels; I want to let my 9-year old watch fun Minecraft videos, but I have to “pre-watch” all of them since I have no idea which channels might have this kind of content dropped

   This is only necessary because Blizzard decided that IAPs + Free-to-Play (Overwatch 2) was worth more than charging customers outright for a quality product (Overwatch).

    This is super cool, and definitely something I've wanted to do for a while. One nitpick: It seems odd that, if I understand correctly, the data being served is from Netlify. Why not serve it locally on the device?

    I understand that Bezos spent a TON of money on this, but the way he’s forcing it is kinda crazy. The ads for it are EVERYWHERE. I was trying to check out at Whole Foods yesterday and had to sit through a 5s ad for it when I opened the Amaz

    I think GP was saying that "all" ratchets (including the one mentioned in the video) have it go one-way to avoid accidentally toggling the direction if you rub it against something (e.g., if you put it in a tight space and bump it

    Thank you for posting that. In taking a second look, I do see a link about installing it yourself. Though given the section mentioning it on the pricing page is below the fold, I'm not sure that I would go so far as to say they _encour

    It's interesting (and sad) how the forums of yesteryear have essentially gone away entirely, with no good solutions popping up to replace them. I know they were/are incredibly prone to security issues, but they were good at one th

    I think Obsidian[0] is a good example, though the online feature-set is limited to syncing (which makes sense). Another might be Vox[1]. But both of these just enable sync functionality, not social or data enhancement. [0] - https:/&#

    As a longtime Last.fm user (I have scrobbles from 2007 on), I’ll have to give this a go. On another note: I was ecstatic to discover recently an iOS app whose main purpose is similar to this: Albums ( https://apps.apple.com/u

    I was not aware that they had started offering this, and probably ought to have researched a bit before posting. That being said, I think my critique of the non-transferable upgrade still stands. Thank you for sharing the link to the subscr

    I wouldn’t have an issue with this if the upgrade went with the car, but the idea that it turns back off when the person whose driveway it lives in changes is too close to IAPs for me. If it has an ongoing cost for Tesla, I’m happy to pay f

    I think a good corollary here are the intellisense functions of an IDE (e.g., JetBrains, NetBeans, etc.): With an IDE, I know that when it auto-generates class methods/properties or auto-completes a method chain (i.e., boilerplate), it
