Also don’t forget the part where we’re told housing will never be affordable again in many areas, and don’t expect to be able to remote work to move to LCOL areas any more.

Encryption at rest. If someone breaks into my house and steals my server I'd rather they not be able to get data. I can do LUKS but I really want the data to only ever be decrypted client side.

I am very interested in the Steam Machine, because it will be an out-of-the-box Linux experience with (hopefully) no tweaking required. Hardware designed for Linux gaming from the beginning. I'm willing to put up with worse performance

Every major tech publication seems to be making a version of this article for the new year. It's impressive Microsoft has bungled Windows enough to make this go viral.

Just a shout out here for medication. ADHD meds are rated effective in the 70-90% range, which is just incredibly good compared to medication effectiveness for just about anything else. I have ADHD, and hate the feeling of being a victim. &

If the author is sensitive to this level of detail, they should just get a color calibrated high-DPI screen (like an Apple Studio Display) and call it a day.

If the CPU is the bottleneck, an interesting metric would be how cheap of a GPU you can pair and still add value. I suspect you would have similar benchmarks with a 5060 as a 5090 in these tests. For example, if you pair an N150 mini pc wit

In security-sensitive code, you take dependencies sparingly, audit them, and lock to the version you audited and then only take updates on a rigid schedule (with time for new audits baked in) or under emergency conditions only. Not all depe

I’ve reached the point where I just use a Mac for most computer stuff and a console for gaming. Maybe one day I’ll set up a Linux gaming box but after spending all day at work trying to wrangle Linux boxes, that sounds a bit too much like m

Not shocking, their ethical responsibility is to do what’s right to make profit for the shareholders, not to do what’s best for the customer. :(

What country is this? I believe this to be illegal in the USA but would not be shocked if a rule change was slipped into some random unrelated bill.

Power management that “just works” is one of the nicest things in macOS.

My TFC clan needed a webpage to schedule practices. I decided to make one. It ended up being more complicated than 13 year old me expected, but I was hooked after that.

Well folks, there you have it, @onebigtime is the ultimate decider on what "unnecessary travel" is :). On a serious note, being able to go face to face is sometimes a huge win, and can really help hammer through sticky problems, t

In a big company, this seems like a great way to get PiPed as all of your coworkers outpace you because they go faster with easier to use tools.

I think the only thing we can say about the future of LLMs is “we don’t know.” Everything is changing too fast. Models from a year ago are already obsolete. We seem to be hitting the top of an asymptote on improvements, but things have not

The really really frustrating thing is that even in this lesser state, all of the alternatives are still a worse experience than an Apple Silicon macbook. It’s sad to be in a time where enshitifcation is the word of the day and things are g

I have no idea what to do for a browser now. Safari as of MacOS 26 is buggy as hell, and I don't care for its new UI at all. Firefox seems to be going in a direction I don't want to follow. Chrome is openly user hostile. All of th

I'd guess a plurality of people are only sharing Plex with family members, and nothing else. If you only care about sharing Plex, you don't need Tailscale to give a family member access, assuming you have Plex Pass, since Plex doe

The hope is that with smart switches, no one needs home assistant to work anything in the house either - they get a UI they have had their whole life, a simple switch or toggle button. The smart part is an optional extra guests don't h

Pretty much every soundbar I've ever tried. They are okay, and I use one for the sake of keeping my living room looking clean, but it can't hold a candle to proper speakers with real separation, or any mid-range pair of headphones

Just get a linux desktop and the cheapest MacBook Air and remote into Linux from the Mac when you need to go portable. There's the world as you want it to be, and the world as it is. The laptop the author wants just doesn't exist.

I've certainly had work trips like this, and if bringing more devices helps you through it more power to you! This whole thread is kind of fascinating to see how people cope with having their normal day-to-day upended by travel. For me
