I did wired WiFi for CES one year. Made having our iot devices on WiFi on the floor much better than other vendors. It’s a long boring story but it was a fun hack.

Every round trip from the USA to Ukraine gets six stamps for me. I’m going to have to renew about five years early on this passport. I’ll get the fat passport next time.

From The Big Sleazy: - But I'll tell ya what, how 'bout if I send you a $20,000 gift certificate from Bob and Jerry's World of Wicker? - Hey that's wicker! Dude, thanks a lot! My friends and I would say we were shopping

I’ve done that in bad weather. The professional drivers will keep the speed over the passes. I love reporting this. I’ve seen so many people drive in the ice and snow like it’s dry pavement and end up crashed.

If Microsoft had just tracked the market while he was CEO: what is the delta in market cap? His vision destroyed multiple Enrons of shareholder value.

I was on the Qualcomm side of the Windows 8 experience. It was terrible, not a good partnership. I have long, boring stories about the previous (to this) WoA attempt. And the one before that.

Many years ago, someone remarked in a meeting it was too bad we (Microsoft) couldn't ship these PowerPoints. Yet, here we are.

Ex-MSN person here. Hotmail accounts are made inactive after 180 days of disuse, deleted after 360. I don’t recall the recycle time; however, you might be able to get it back if it’s been recycled.

I can only make informed guesses. My feeling is the phone was shipped as a contractual obligation on both sides. Think the Microsoft kin phone and Verizon as an analog.

Completely agree. I get a lot of "CVEs" that are "test code has a hardcoded key" or similar. Once or twice a year I get a real CVE.

absolutely. I don't know if your camera body would allow it, but if you can get a die and extrusion, buying two or three tons of near net shape extrusion that you do a machine pass on, pass to anodizing, and assemble might reduce your

Reasonable. I find anodizers are easy to find, good ones hard, and great ones almost impossible. I found a great one in Auburn and I feel lucky I did. Iirc you’re paying for the batch. If you pick a color they don’t do a lot, you’re paying

I’m sorry to hear that. I know two of the blind users personally and they are active in discord. I agree on captchas. Rocket.Chat was the previous platform. I will file a bug against discord on the timestamp issue. When I worked for Washing

We (Hyperledger) got a ton of positive feedback from our blind users when we moved to Discord. Apparently the UX is extremely well laid out for screen readers.

I knew no Visual Basic. Microsoft was converting from XNS to TCP/IP and MSMAIL to Exchange. I wrote the automation to port mspager from MSMAIL to Exchange - if you were in a thread on MSMAIL, you cc:mspager, and everyone on the thread
