> Lately, I see a lot of drivers who turn on their brights and just leave them on and this includes cars with the older halogen and even incandescents. This is a change in behavior. Something has changed in how we use headlights, and not

This whole thing is sure a tangle. Open source projects want people to use their work. Google wants bugs -- especially security ones -- found and fixed fast. Both goals make sense. The tension starts when open source developers expect payme

I was excited when I saw the headline -- I thought Apple had finally brought back a smaller iPhone, like the Mini. But nope. It's just an ugly phone purse. Look, it's bad enough that the much-hyped Vision Pro didn't take off

Online games are nearly impossible to preserve. Most games are online games now. Multi-player games depend on servers, economies, and communities that exist only as long as someone's logging in and paying the bills. When those servers

Just a reminder that there are ongoing issues where Facebook prevents Native Americans from signing up or being allowed to use their legitimate names because their legal names are judged “inauthentic.” This has been documented for well over

True (*) They can't deny coverage for pre-existing conditions anymore, but insurers still have hundreds of other ways to avoid paying. There's no silver lining in the U.S. healthcare system -- it's built to exhaust, confuse,

Just out of curiosity why do you want cellular in a laptop? Just seems like another monthly service bill. I just tether to my phone. Wouldn’t that work?

This happens when you have “technical” founders who don’t really know the tech, and a bunch of engineers who then have to report to that person. When you hire senior people, expect them to tell you what you need to do. Not the other way aro

I hope we'll get back to building things that actually matter -- solutions that help real people; products that are enjoyable to use, and are satisfying to build. As the noise fades, and with luck, the obsession with slapping "AI&

I don’t understand why we need age verification in Discord. Why should people who play games have to prove they’re old enough to talk to others? It’s not like anyone ever forced anybody else to join your Discord community, it’s all opt in!

It’s strange that we don’t require police officers, soldiers, or anyone paid by the government to provide a DNA sample before serving. We already fingerprint, drug test, and run background checks. A DNA record would make it easier to solve

Out of curiosity, why are they doing toilet paper roll style paper? Wouldn’t it be easier to spread adoption by using just standard printer paper?

“Over 30? We don’t think you can be trained to use AI.” Feels like another form of age discrimination in tech. Anyone who had a good idea how to do things costs too much money, and it’s better to hire people who blindly trust the AI to do t

Hey Mate, I think any contractor who relies heavily on sub-contractors is a little shady by default. At that point they aren't paying for a good job, just for someone to "put tiles on the bathroom wall." If anything slows tha

There should be no such thing as a non-disparagement clause. It's a gag, pure and simple. You should always be able to tell your own story -- what you lived through, what you lost, who failed you. But these clauses are everywhere now,

Lots of criticism here but feels like a community that would have been better served by spinning up a forum server or something along those lines. These are pretty easy to get going. Cheers! https://www.discourse.org/ http

The headline should really note that this only affects people importing from a digital camera. For the 99.999% of us who just use our phone, nothing to worry about. Scared me for no reason! =P

Or… sticking to the theme… The Old Man and the Gun … another great film by Redford, about an elderly man who leans on his charisma and confidence to rob banks. Based on a true story.

I'm genuinely bummed that Apple killed the Plus iPhone. For years, it was the perfect sweet spot -- bigger screen and bigger battery without the Pro price tag. It was especially great for elderly users: easier to read, easier to hold,

I picked up a folding phone a while back just to test it out, and honestly they're still pretty underwhelming. The screen isn't really big enough or the right shape to feel like a real upgrade for movies, and a lot of apps just ar

Some things shouldn't be left to amateurs to repair. Just because you "own" the hardware doesn't mean you're equipped to fix it safely or securely. Modern devices are tightly integrated systems -- tinkering with the

It's worth paying for reliability. If that also means more speed, fine -- but raw CPU benchmarks rarely matter outside of very specific workloads. What you'll notice day to day is whether the machine crashes, wipes out a project,

What scares me about this is that Tylenol is a drug that's been handed out to everyone, for everything, for decades. And if we could miss how dangerous this one is, what are the odds other drugs aren't just as risky? Side note, he
