I recently switched back to Windows on my workstation. Multi monitor support with two different resolutions just doesn't work in too many scenarios. I have a long bullet list of issues but that one was at the top.

I changed my kids diapers, if I didn't they would smell and get a rash. Having a good reason to do something isn't the same thing as wanting to do it for purely pleasurable reasons. But that's the whole point isn't it? A

The social aspects of these things also cannot be underestimated. For both the kids and the parents. Many friends are made and networks expanded through school sports.

The issue with this mentality is it ultimately leads to doing nothing at all. It's incredibly easy to look at an obligation and turn it down, even if it will benefit you and your family. My kids would love to do nothing but play video

I jumped into my co-workers Tesla to go to lunch. I asked him if he ever uses the self-driving feature. He turned it on and in less than a second, the car veered directly into the middle turning lane. I watched him yank at the wheel and dis

That's true. Years back, you could cast to Fire TV from the android VLC app. But I recall it not working very well, and I think support for Chrome Cast was entirely removed at some point? I don't know, I completely gave up on the

VLC player paired with a network share does pretty much everything I need to watch local media. I have a Jellyfin instance, and I do like it, but I often find myself falling back to VLC for one reason or another.

You can use something like "Acer Aspire XC - Desktop Intel Celeron J4125 2GHz 4GB RAM 256GB SSD W10H" which is sometimes on sale on ebay for $100-150. Then throw a few small upgrades in there (larger drive, maybe some memory) and

Software has completely automated all of these steps. The only barrier is the initial set up, which a non-technical person can figure out over a weekend.

I believe these vehicles were made in the same factory as a joint venture between Toyota and GM called NUMMI. There's a This American Life episode about it. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/403/transcript

I had a Matrix as well, wish I still owned it because it was a nifty little 5- speed. I remember bringing it in for airbag recalls at least twice in the years I owned it, and continued to receive recall notices for some time after selling i

I recently switched to linux desktop for my home PC. Compared to my last attempt at this, the experience is still...not great. There are some awesome features, but then you run into random issues that really sour the experience. For example

Not who you replied to but I'll chime in with a similar experience. I also moved away from gmail. I set it to forward all emails to my new account and slowly moved various services off of it to the point now that the only thing it rece

These decisions don't only sour me on Chamberlain, or smart garage door openers. They make me want to avoid home automation entirely. Yes I understand the open protocol options that are out there. Are there industry groups representing

Ahh, I was categorizing that under "shallow game play", but I can see your point.

I don't recall performance problems being the main concern for the last (final) Sim City, but I won't say you are incorrect. What I do remember is 1. shallow game play compared to its predecessors 2. demand for always online and p

You can inject a TypeORM data source which is non typed and create a query builder, but as pointed out, it's opt in.

I've done a lot of work with NestJS. I agree with some, but not all, of the authors points. - TypeORM is pretty bad. Particularly when you start using it for more than simple crud operations. There was an epic battle in the GitHub issu

I'm encouraged by this, and the steps they took to implement additional precautions for the future. I would guess that was the goal of this release.
