Happened 4-years ago. I still notice it every night at bed. Or anytime it’s quiet. I try not to think about it, because I feel like it gets amplified when I do. But it’s daily for the last 4-years :( Hope you’re ok now. Please see someone i

Tinnitus I swear my tinnitus is a result of use of AirPods. I never wore any type of earphones ever. Then started using AirPods for calls, during workouts or on a plane. A year later I developed tinnitus and the only thing that changed in m

Ancient Aliens conflates two very different ideas. The show’s core argument is that ancient civilizations were more advanced than we give them credit for. That may be true, but “more advanced” does not mean they had superior technology or h

Personal anecdote: I was in college when 9/11 happened. Back then, in the late 1990s and early 2000s, radio was still a major part of daily life. iPods, iPhones, and streaming didn’t exist yet. Morning radio shows often did live prank

I use to be a huge Hetzner fan but it doesn't appear they have launch any new hardware in the past 3-years. One of the reasons why I loved Hetzner so much is that you could always get the latest generation hardware ... but unless I hav

If you’re Anthropic, you gotta love how a vendor you’re paying is going to the government to talk about you. Can’t imagine that’s great for the relationship.

Raspberry Pi as a company does ~$325M in annual revenue. But I can’t understand what are the use cases to be selling 73M units. Would anyone mind sharing what are the broadly applicable use cases, because selling 73M units is well beyond ho

Take what I saw with a grain of salt but … Who is this product for? And for what use case? This is why people recommend niche markets. E.g. This is for B2B marketers who need a tool to create social content. Congrats though for launching. 9

Just a reminder that the old Intel Mac Pro could handle 1.5TB of RAM ... today's Mac Studio can only handle 0.25TB. Seem odd that a computer from a decade ago could have more than a 1TB of incremental RAM vs what we can buy today fro
