Cars kill us: Far fewer car crashes, more sleep as no need to commute so early in the morning, no horrible drive into the office screaming and honking at the idiot driver, no horrible drive home while texting. Alcohol kills us: no drunk fig

Some of the worst managers I have worked for didn't understand opportunity cost. Good idea to test during a job interview or before starting a partnership. Nothing more maddening than working for an Ahab chasing whales.

Wow, conspiracies everywhere. Oracle has switched their provider from Cisco WebEx to Zoom and the transition seems to have been very smooth. I don’t hear their employees complaining about it, they seem to like it. I think it is just recip

Agreed, then watch Room 237, probably my favourite conspiracy theory doc: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2085910/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_237

VMs work ok, but much I am much happier with Linux containers. NUCs get bogged down pretty easily and go from quiet purring kittens, to screeching and whining when they get under load. A dozen containers, with different distorts and versi

I am using a LibreOffice more than Word and Excel these days, besides being far too slow, the UI on these apps keep changing for the worse. I give my feedback, but now there is a search field in the title bar. The MS people claim this is f

I am willing to accept no headphone jack only if the device supports USB-C, like my new iPad Pro and every other product I have purchased in the last 4 years.

Thanks for the warning, I was thinking about doing the same thing last weekend, but only had time to get Synapse up and running, not Jitsi.

Xperia 5 is tall but narrow. It is an unusual, but great looking phone. Specs are good, but software does fall short.

If size wasn’t the issue, I would probably have the biggest monster iPhone today. For the SE form factor (maybe reduce the top and bottom bezel for some more screen size) and USB C (because lightning in 2020 is insulting) I’d switch back f

Are 4 letter brand names making our kids stupid? Before Zoom, products had longer names like WebEx, Hangouts and GoToMeeting. Longer names challenge our children to learn how to spell longer, more complex words, even if they are completel

And Omni truly crafts native apps. Really sad to see them struggle, I used their software for about 5 years, but had to go back to Windows. Outanding quality, maybe Apple ahould have them consult on MacOS...

And OneNote 2016, I hate the web/app version. Outlook has always been a bizarre mess, it is the only application I have seen with a 'cancel server request' because it has stopped responding. 17 years later (I think since of

Wash your hands and lead is fine for hobbyists and far more people enjoyable to work with. The problem that ROHS solves is landfills full of manufactured goods not full of lead.

I had high expectations that Google would figure out Chrome on tablets with Android. But they couldn't even make a good Chrome touch experience. The lag was pretty bad and then the whole effort was killed off. Tough being a product a

Trucking - food. I think they need time to sort out changes to allow certain types of travel. Blocking all traffic except for business would be trivial to bypass, and making more categories isn't going to happen on a whim.

My friend in his 20s said to me 'You are old, but useful', and I responded with a gee thanks. At this point he realized I misheard him, and claims he said 'You are old, but youthful'. Anyway, it's now a joke betwe
