This is great advice until Facebook blocks your secondary accounts, which might end up costing you access to any data/saves/content tied to your oculus or whatever linked services. Just look at how much destruction Google causes p

At least in the tech world, I have found this varies massively by location. Every single job I’ve had in San Francisco has been 99% Apple MacBooks in use by all eng employees and I’ve had to fight really hard to be allowed to use a PC. But

I did a one week roadtrip from California to Colorado this summer and had to clean my windshield at every gas station due to splattered bugs. It’s my first real roadtrip so I don’t have any basis for comparison.

In these two instances we have about the same amount of synchronous video calls on a weekly basis, so I don’t think there’s a difference there. I do agree that in general teams have too many synchronous calls that could be done via email or

I worked on two separate remote teams over the past year. The first team had video on and zoom calls and my current team has video off. Small anecdotal sample size, but in my experience with the video-on team there was a much stronger sense

I can’t speak to their email or chat support, but I had to call them a few weeks ago and got through to a human nearly immediately with no frustrating phone tree or hold or any issues. Perhaps their support is inconsistent, but I’ve never h

I had to contact Google Fi recently and was pleasantly surprised with how easy they were to get a hold of when every other service provider is using the pandemic as an excuse to drop their phone support quality or remove it entirely. Compar

I wish those restrictions would include forcing providers to support AirPlay. Amazon Prime recently cut off airplay support (last year). ”Due to technical limitations and to improve the user experience“ but we all know it’s for business rea

Reducing defense budget seems the obvious place to start. Why is this a “non-starter”?

I used to read these until every app stopped providing any useful information in there. Now I wait a while to install updates so I can read the new reviews. Apps updates are so risky, especially on iOS where you can't downgrade an ap

This sounds good in theory, but my corner store sells a bottle of soda for $3 that I can get at Safeway for $1. Or a bag of chips for $2 that I can get 2 for a dollar at Safeway or Target. Sunscreen for $12 instead of the $6 (or as low as $

But all of those steps seem like they would take additional computing power, and therefore generate more heat. I fail to see how what you describe uses less power. It seems somewhat akin to emulating a low power processor on a very high pow

Ooo, I bet there’s some amazing ways you could use this with HoloLens. Even just interpreting voice commands more naturally seems like a good place to start. I don’t have one myself so let me know if there’s any issues using this on HL.

Opinions seem to be divided as to whether GPT-3 is more hype or a real turning point for practical AI, but in my opinion the most compelling examples aren’t the standard text completion via the playground, but rather the possibility for pro

I assume they meant “turnover”. Amazon is notorious for burning through employees quickly. And if employees quit voluntarily, the company doesn’t need to pay severance, may reclaim hiring bonus or RSU’s, and it helps them politically/r

That is what the page says, but can that possibly be right? I know e-ink tends to have very low refresh rates but taking a full 15 seconds to redraw seems excessive. I have found sites like this often have pretty obvious errors on them, is

Have you considered taking 45 minute walks at the times you used to commute? Audiobooks/podcasts are just as good while walking, and the light cardio might be more stimulating and enjoyable than the driving was. Or do something else wi

From the original article, it sounds like the first round is only minimally effective, and the major boost comes from the second round.

This is maybe a reasonable argument for lunch on a workday, but doesn’t really apply for dinner or on weekends. There’s a counter argument to be made that for many people their productivity and creativity increases when interspersed with a

Haha, indeed. Blocking right click is so silly. It doesn’t really prevent a sufficiently motivated user, it’s just annoying. Although if you’re talking about printing photos, you would need a very high resolution monitor to capture a decent

Someone took the “10 European castles that cost less than San Francisco condominiums” article seriously. That’s awesome!

So if WeChat is basically the only messaging app allowed in China, and WeChat is not allowed to be used in India, is there any widely available platform that Indian citizens can use to chat with Chinese citizens? Making it impossible or at

When was the last time you ever saw a restaurant lower their prices, regardless of the reason? Price increases have a tendency to stick.

I agree, although I found another good option is to buy it from Costco and use it for a couple months and really get a feel for it and then return it. I’ve done that with several Surface Pro devices, which has allowed me to appreciate how t

Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re talking about, but something similar is pretty common in China as well. I’ve heard people call the system “solar power“, but what they’re referring to is effectively a tank of water on the roof that is
