Perfect example I found the other day... the main post is clearly a bot, and all the replies are bots pretending to be users too. Reddit USED to be amazing for finding recommendations for products/services but these days it’s just anot

Our Wireless NBN install in rural(ish, 1 hour from a capital city) Australia went from 25mbps to 0.1-0.5mbps and has sat there for 2 years until we gave up calling them monthly to complain, and switched to a 4G booster and just tethered to

At least for iOS: Double-tap in the white space between the directory links and the dates, it’ll fit to the screen nicely.

The 11” Air is probably my favourite portable device of all time. A full proper laptop with desktop experience and Apple hardware quality, in the size/weight of a tablet. I don’t even notice it in my backpack.

By default you don't get "notifications", it just puts any new videos from those channels into your "Subscriptions" page. I subscribe to 200+ channels, not because I want to see every video from all of them but beca

Yes but it does have e2e if you “want” it and for 99.9% of people that’s enough. The other 0.1% who “need” it are more willing to learn/adapt to Signal/Wire/etc. I use Signal with tech friends, and Telegram with family/n

For what it’s worth, I’m not actually a game dev it’s just something I’ve been playing with in the last few years as a side hobby. My primary career is infosec/red team, something she’s not playing with (yet) but she’s already picked u

Try Telegram. It’s as easy to use as WhatsApp for non-tech family and friends, yet has all the features you want out of an IM without too much of the bloat. It has native apps on all major platforms, and for the techies it has a solid API s

Another vote for Telegram here. I tried to get at least the core group of family/friends on Signal or Wire and to their credit they tried but it never stuck. They loved Telegram so much that we now have the entire extended family/

My girl first got interested when she was 5, when she was already a pretty solid MC Survival player, so I got her into Scratch to mod her MC creative world and automate some agents. From there she was more interested in making stand-alone l

Yeah it reads to me more like they were pressured to release it quickly before the holidays by investors, and the decision makers didn't listen to those below saying that it just couldn't be done (to the quality everyone expected)

There’s already “digital dark ages” and it’s a reason archive.org and retro tech collection is so important. From the 70s-90s most consumer tech was thrown in land fill when people were finished with it. There wasn’t yet much of a “collecto

Make sure you read the novellas/side-stories too, especially the Amos origin story.

Among the best Sci Fi shows I’ve ever seen. I’ve read the book series 3 times and on my 3rd watch through of the show. I’m biased (Sci Fi is about all I watch/read) but it’s truly one of the greats.

It’s default on kids accounts on iOS. This sounds more like she let her kid use her own iPad on her own account, not her kids account. Also when you use the App Store the first time on a fresh device it asks if you want to use a password (o

Couldn’t agree with this more. Local folder organisation isn’t the problem, silo’d data in proprietary ecosystems is.

I use a mix of Bing and DDG, about 50/50. I also know multiple people who use Bing, mostly people not in tech as it’s just “there” if you use Windows.

Bitluni and CNLohr are two of my favorite hardware hackers to watch on streams/videos. They both have such creative ideas and intense passion for getting the ideas working no matter how many walls they hit. Lots of fun to follow along

Never works for me at all, and most animated GIFs don’t animate either. It takes a special type of effort to make video NOT work on modern web browsers.

Branding. Winamp was in a unique era where companies were just happy to have their software be used, and everything wasn’t about growing/expanding a brand for eventual sale to a megacorp.

Couldn’t agree more. I’ve played with Tesla infotainment and I’d much much rather my CarPlay system and physical climate controls. I do want an EV and love the drivetrain of the Tesla’s but that’s the only part of them at all that seems to

I recently bought my first new Lexus, and have to say it was one of the nicest experiences I’ve ever had buying a car. The staff were all no-bullshit, no-pressure, and all legitimately friendly people. The first service did similar to the s

Flash games and animations is basically what really got me into the design side of web dev. Before that I was all about the code, then making silly little flash games based around in-jokes between me and my friends is what got me into graph
