I physically unplug my monitors and keyboard from my work laptop and plug them into my personal computer, which is not in any way set up for work. It's a pain to do, and my primary monitor has issues with hotswapping to I have to fiddl

There are differences in redundancy and isolation that could impact your resiliency strategy. An AWS zone can include multiple data centers that are isolated from other DCs in the same zone. A region is then a collection of those zones, and

Not really, there are often other options. Different lots nearby using different systems, for instance. Or the option of simply not paying and risking getting towed / a ticket. A parking lot clip could use the time-based notification

Oh please no, LCM is the coolest museum in the world. Is there nothing we can do to save it? I'd be willing to pay several years advance membership. I have so many great memories of that place. For a long time I was an organizer for th

The article touches on this, but it's very important to be aware that your retrospective perception of time is highly dependent on the number of new experiences you have in a given time frame. Years went longer when you were a kid beca

Paying for Spotify does not imply that they cease spying on you, only that they aren't using that information to serve you ads on their platform.

In addition to what's already been said, this is a loss for privacy. Spotify gathers information about you and sells it to whoever they want. An RSS feed simply does not allow anywhere near that level of privacy invasion. If a podcast

If a crisis exposes a weakness in a system and you're making a good faith suggestion is that really a bad thing? The US government's attempts to keep people afloat have pretty clear major issues, for instance. Is it really a bad t

It protects the manufacturer against ramping up supply only for demand to suddenly disappear.

Absolutely. If you're really hairy down there and not using a bidet then assuming you're clean after is very wishful thinking. Just make sure you're not using 1ply garbage tp, and understand that you may need a second wipe or

The surface pro can do everything, but for most things the tablet mode experience is somewhere between dismal and unusable. The ipad pro can't do a handful of tasks, but for everything else the experience is excellent in both tablet an

Once I got my ipad pro I basically stopped using my laptop for anything but programming and video games. The former is basically just waiting on tooling and the latter is only a problem because the specific games I want to play aren't

It's been great for me for one major reason: I used to work on a pretty active project, but have since moved on. I don't have time or energy to look at things from that project anymore, but notifications from issues I participated

If this really is the same tech they use for Amazon Go then no. I'm not sure where they would have hid an RFID chip in the single apple I picked up from their larger store a week ago.

They're pretty quiet on their own, but also have further silenced variants (often called type-s or some such). Also look for Topre Realforce or HHKB Pro 2. The latter is what I generally recommend to folks that want to get a good board

One of the best features of the airpods is seemingly not advertised: in transparency mode they automatically switch to active noise cancellation if there is some excessively loud/harmful noise. I live in a city where I walk everywhere.

I doubt this will get much in the way of mainstream penetration. You're never going to see any competitive phone installations of this. It'll probably mostly be for things like portal. I doubt they'd be successful in doing a

I regularly follow the relevant creator, he definitely still does this and still occasionally talks about it. From the handful of YouTube creators I follow it seems like the problem has only become worse in intervening years.

I wonder how much effect this will actually have. Will they count rejection of voluntary search as suspicion of wrongdoing?

Well Netflix does have such plans, which is why this article confuses me. The additional concurrent streams is a huge selling point of the premium plans.

I reject the idea that moving away from home is a necessary step to becoming a self sufficient adult. You don't have to move out to start taking care of yourself - you just have to pull your own weight, to contribute equally to bills a

I listen to a LOT of podcasts (110 days of them since November 2015). I think it's safe to say that most of them aren't optimized for streaming in the way that, say, most streaming music is. So if I want to listen to something tha

Auto makers don't have to use california's rules to determine how they design the whole US fleet. They choose to do so because the cost to comply nationwide is low if they're already doing it anyway. A company could absolut
