I have found a Dropbox to be more reliable at file sync than OneDrive, especially if you have many, many small files. Then again, the pricing is so far off between the two that I can’t justify Dropbox anymore and just put up with the horrib

Haha, touché. They are going to have to tighten up next year though.

Microsoft Teams (The chat/collaboration service) and team foundation server (The source code repository and DevOps platform) are two completely different products that happen to both have the same word in their name. Although I can und

The compiler and the .net platform in general are all accessible without a paid license or internet connection, and actually there’s a free edition of visual studio you can use without a paid license as well. But downloading and installing

It used to be you bought a key to unlock it permanently, but nowadays it ties your license to your Microsoft account. There’s a link to “unlock with a product key“, but I have no idea how you get one of those. I hate renting software rather

It revalidates the license every 30 days, and I haven’t used it in a few days. Apparently I just got unlucky with my timing.

I'm assuming this is related: I can't do any development using Visual Studio 2019 at the moment because it calls home to verify the license and it is currently unable to log me in to to verify my license. So VS is basically brick

Could you simply have a keyboard without a num pad and then a separate independent num pad that you place to the left of the keyboard? Both fairly standard items you could get at low cost without having to do anything too crazy and expensiv

I can’t speak to Europe, and admittedly my Latin America experience is somewhat limited to Argentina, Chile, and Brazil, and my Asia experience is mostly China, Hong Kong, Korea, and Vietnam. I’m sure there are places where it’s possible to

Nowadays most software doesn’t let you tinker with it. Want to tinker with your chat client? Too bad, everything (that any of your friends actually use) is closed source and proprietary now. Frustrated with social media? Unless you can conv

One of the weird things I’ve found traveling internationally is that salt & butter popcorn is apparently an American thing. In Asia and South America popcorn is almost always sweet. Salt & butter popcorn is one of those things you

Do we actually know for a fact this helps? I had always assumed that correcting voice dictation helps on android and iOS, but over the past couple years I’ve been coming to the conclusion it doesn’t actually do anything and we are just assu

MacBook laptops had SD cards slots, or at least the Air and Pro models. iPhones and iPads never did, although there’s been a super awkward adapter available for iPad since it first came out, but it is super limited in what it can be used fo

Another nice feature is when you hit a page that is a 404, it will automatically try to load it from Wayback if available

This seems like such a useful feature though. I wish there was a way to know for certain exactly what the device was doing so I could have this functionality but also have certainty that Google can’t arbitrarily add other wake words without

Exactly, every new release of android and iOS these days feels like one step forward, two steps back. It’s less excitement about new features and more dread about what use cases they’re going to break this time.

I own the domain name for my last name, so that I have the email address [firstname]@[lastname].com. But when signing up for services I like to use my domain as a catchall so I can have unique email addresses for each service. Of course tha

Indeed, I remember being particularly impressed by iPad battery life in the early days. I would recharge maybe once a week of light usage. Now I’ve got to plug in nearly every single night.

How do you account for price in that situation? When I choose what I’m going to order at a restaurant, it’s not simply based on what I think would taste best, it’s about the ratio of price to tastiness. Whenever a waiter recommends somethin

They claim all voice processing will be done on device and no processing will be done via the cloud. So why are they charging a monthly fee in addition to the hardware purchase price? Also... it’s it kind of weird for Amazon to have a timel

Same here, I’ve had automatic updates disabled for years and I turned off the notification badge for the App Store. Unfortunately some apps phone home and determine they are not the latest version and then refuse to let you use them until y

The business didn’t last very long so we never got around to switching banks. But whenever I do my next startup I will shop around more. I would love to hear any recommendations people might have to share.

SVB was a horrible antiquated banking experience. It was heavily recommended for my last startup so I signed up without shopping around. It was literally the worst online banking experience I’ve ever used, straight out of the 90’s. And ther

My work computer would be substantially faster than my personal computer if it wasn’t bogged down by so much IT crap. In practice my personal computer substantially faster to get anything done because I have to fight it so much less.

I’ve been wanting to buy an Oculus Quest since lockdown started, but I’ve been having trouble finding one in stock for a reasonable price. I guess I’m glad I didn’t succeed in purchasing one, and now I won’t be buying one at all.
