   I also hate feeling like such a weirdo for repairing my own appliances or electronics. "Ending is better than mending."

   What have you done, or what change have you made to keep posture in mind?

   Would also reduce the 1 month battery life :) It's been a good reason to bring the old DSLR back out.

   I did this recently with a Nokia 105. It's amazing how much space it has cleared up in my life, and how distorted the relationship with the phone has become- it's supposed to be a tool that works for me, right? I wrote some though

   A few months ago I bought a Nokia 105. It was $25 on Amazon. It makes phone calls and text messages. The battery lasts almost a month. My wife can call me in an emergency. I wired up a few work outage alerts with IFTTT. That's about it

   I'm all for net neutrality, but it feels important to note that this is for mobile service: https://www.meo.pt/internet/internet-movel/telemovel/pacotes... Also, it looks like the same company provides g

   A lot of people have asked in this thread if I did any customer development. Many of these projects aren't actually indented to be companies, fwiw. But some were. My day job for years has been a developer at early stage startups, so I&

   Rentals (not repairs), to be clear, but man were they heavy to ship. I did have a few rentals to bigger companies (Google, Samsung), sometimes it's easier for them to rent. Yeah, most of them are random hacks. I don't mean to impl

    Hah, thanks. It's a pretty simple one, probably just took a few days. I think I ended up realizing that I really like coffee. Here's some source if you're interested: https://github.com/LastZactionHero/ca

    I think this is a good idea. It crossed my mind while writing this, and I didn't put it down. Thank you.

    Yeah, gravity seemed like a good way to do circle packing with different sizes. Also would be a way to place neatly in irregularly shaped (non-rectangular) beds.

    Thanks! Bloom is my latest endeavor, and one that I don't think belongs on the scrap heap yet. I'm just not sure how to market it. I was going down a path of appealing to data-nerds with yards, focusing on the data techniques used

    Maybe they are, but I suspect they have different incentives. If I discover that they're singling out my $5/mo VPN server for monitoring, the rest of my $1500/mo is moving to another company.

    I would expect that they do. I'm not really offended that my traffic is logged by someone and could be traced back to me by someone with the time and resources (law enforcement?). But assuming that AWS/DO, and their uplink provide

    I don't have a strong opinion on the ban itself, but it doesn't surprise or scare me that people don't know how to deal with unlimited quantities of food. Until recently, food was scarce, and evolution hasn't caught up t

    I haven't used VR for long enough to have sadness, but a 15 minutes is enough for me to have a very subtle, vague confusion about what I can manipulate in real life. But I guess was a little disappointed that I had to drive home, since

    Shutting down the product and cancelling my order seems like a poor way to conduct a "smooth and positive" transition".

    I have the same thought in the Facebook Ads and Google Adwords control panel that I do sitting down at a craps table: "I'm going to lose all of this, aren't I?"

    In the small startups I've been a part of, the Customer Success Manager has been more like the interface for the user to parts of the product we haven't had time to refine. Our teams are still small, so this person has been essent
