Beeper is quite useful here with a pinned message to yourself - can quickly send urls/text and have that show up on all devices. Obviously also handles google chat/facebook/sms/discord messages etc in the same system. Fo

Other use case is relistening to old podcasts - about half the stuff I listen to is historical which lends itself well to a relistening 10 years later. The content may well be still relevant but the ads are surely not. The other podcasts I

the previous context menu had issues sometimes with network and other slow drives - it would need to wait for multiple callbacks to complete before it could render. In extreme cases, this could cause delays of many seconds before the menu c

I'm not convinced this is doing much - images with exif geo data seemed to just return the location literally described in the image. Images with no exif data returned every image location based on my IP location - a city a few 100 m

I've used it fairly extensively to create shell scripts and found it moderately useful. It'll generate a base line that I can then take and run with, adding what I need. It can be frustrating trying to reprompt it if it goes off o

I could be mistaken here, but as far as I know Microsoft Edge is still based on chromium. Yup, they may still allow extension updates without going through review, but they'll still have to either fork or go along with manifest v3.

I have a gmail account that I cc stuff to - receipts for any major chattels or work, engineering reports, wall cavities before lining (showing cable runs and nog spacing etc). Probably not as usable as this system, but pretty low effort and

I suspect over time the numbers will grow back to where they were.... but it's gonna be a completely different crowd that what made it great originally. reddit wants to jump on to the low-effort click-drawing content bandwagon - whilst

I don't know about "only garbage gets posted". In one of the craft based subs I moderate (5m subs - reasonably sized one), it's not so much the quality of posts has dropped, it's that the quantity has dropped, and d

Never seen this done to a whole laptop, but it wasn't an uncommon last ditch method for pulling files off a dying HDD back in the days of spinning platters. Preferably in a zip lock vacuum bag and left over night. This is a 17 year old

I feel much the same way. Looking at one of the subs I run though - old.reddit.com accounts for 5% of total traffic. Whilst 5% is not nothing, it's also not really all that much. I doubt they'd notice much impact even if half of t

Yup. Though doesn't help much for my use case (I don't think) - I have an ever change set of ec2's, each with access to a single RDS endpoint. Most debug/config is done via sqlcl which is straight forward as that's

Pretty sure the answer is no, cause I've been searching for a way to do this for a while, but is there any way to trigger these escapes from script? Use case is bouncing through to an RDS that only allows access from specific EC2 insta

Not the original answer, but I also have a couple of mice (elasto) - one for each hand, and then between my split keyboard I have a trackpad. As much as possible I avoid the mice but when needed it's good to have the option of changing

There are definite tax advantages to being self employed, but I think for most countries your total tax rate for most people would end up being around 25% to 35%. For you to end up taking home more money whilst earning only half as much - y

100% this. We had the same issue at our company for several years - we put up with it for a while but eventually raised it with microsoft. To be fair, it take a fair bit of back-and-forth with microsoft to track the problem down, but turns
