I've had pretty severe tinnitus since my 20s (early 40s now), during my early 30s I got very serious about diet/health due to unrelated health issues. I only drink water or coffee, I eat a clean diet with almost no processed sugar

Yes. I lived on a farm for a couple years recently and you had to extensively research any tech you bought even if logic said there’s no reason that particular tech should need internet. The TV we took with us no longer worked (Samsung) so

I absolutely loved the iPod nano for my kids. It lets me give them easy access to an iTunes library in their rooms without worrying about other apps or messing with anything else. Even the youngest (3 years old) could figure out how to skip

Just seeing the LinkedIn links made me think it was some kind of parody at first. Especially considering it’s already sitting on GitHub where there’s free hosting. It’s clearly just an attempt to drive traffic/engagement to their Linke

I’ve used Australian consumer affairs laws to return products well outside the return date when they’ve been updated to remove/modify features I specifically wanted. I returned a Bose speaker when it stopped letting you cast to it with

Seriously cool. Love the attention to detail. I’ll definitely back whatever funding campaign is launched for this, I’ve got the perfect project in mind for a portable secure controller.

I was racking my brain trying to figure out why this was giving me déjà vu. I figured it had been posted before then renamed but seems like a totally separate project doing effectively the same thing?

My wife has no disabilities (and is a very light/casual tech user) but uses heaps of the iOS accessibility features. I personally had never really looked at them until she started showing me how handy so many of them are day to day. Th

They're a form of Government-issued photo ID, so not "secret" but definitely "sensitive". At least in Australia, a passport can be used as your primary ID for a lot of stuff such as renting houses, buying mobile pho

I feel like we’re at a point where a modern frontpage would work. Make it cross platform (including maybe a simple mobile version) and have it push static sites to Github Pages (with an option for other hosts). Integrate some domain purchas

Yeah I've got a 6 digit semi-common name Gmail account (from the invite-only days) and the amount of junk I get to it is mind blowing. Not "spam", that gets filtered pretty well by Google these days, but emails specifically s

Licensed sets saved them from bankruptcy, and now that they're healthily profitable again they've been releasing more "classic" sets like the Lego City, Lego Creator (and Creator Advanced), and Technics sets. As someone

Yeah this has been a common attack since as early as I can remember. Company goes bust? Wait for their domain to expire then register/catch-all and start seeing what mail you get from websites to see where there’s accounts using that d

He makes awesome YouTube videos on various small electronics projects like this, including some more complex ones with custom PCBs and stuff. The website is more used as a reference/script for the videos, and the videos are much better

I’ve been using KeePassXC almost as long as it’s been available, and couldn’t be happier. Database stored on my NAS and synced to Dropbox for when I’m out, gives me access on all my devices without having to worry about whether x or y servi

Their redesign combined with the incessant harassing app crap turned me from an hours-a-day-and-modding-some-decently-big-subs redditor to visiting for 15 minutes a couple times a week when on the dunny. Their entire site is so user hostile

Australia for one. I returned my Ring camera when they removed the customisable motion detection zones and it no longer worked as advertised (to this day, many months later) on their own website.

Couldn't agree more. Both are trying to appeal for pity to the very people they're taking advantage of and it pretty much sums up everything wrong with companies having this much power. We're living in the cyberpunk future of

For those that dismissed NMS due to the launch fiasco and never looked at it again, it’s now an incredible game. If they’d launched it then in the state it’s in now, it would probably have been a colossal hit and gone down as one of the bes
