I bought a cheap PS/2 to USB adapter off of Amazon to get a Model M working with a modern computer. I wanted it to work on both my PC desktop, which has a PS/2 connector, and my Macbook, which doesn't. The adapter I bought wa

In the book Post Corona, Scott Galloway talks about red vs blue companies. Blue companies (e.g. Apple) charge a premium for their product and offer you some level of privacy, while red companies give you their product (the Android OS and Go

The important thing is that the vaccines are having a large effect on Covid-related deaths. Despite the current number of reported cases in Israel being equal to (or even a bit over) the January peak, the number of deaths is much lower. Acc

I have done just about everything over the years to lose weight. I tend to exercise a ton naturally, so it has been more about eating less than exercising more. I would say that my natural weight is slightly overweight but not obese. I&#x27

This kind of stuff is super helpful. My dad was a surgeon who treated kids with scoliosis. He also happened to make teddy bears as a hobby. So he made a teddy bear with an artificial spine in it that he put scoliosis hardware on. When he wa

It seems like these changes have good intentions (i.e. improved security), but introduce a lot of complexity that can have unintended consequences for end-users. This reminds me somewhat of my process setting up UEFI Secure Boot on my Windo

My first computer was a 286 (desktop) back in 1989, with 1MB of RAM and a 40MB hard drive. And an NEC VGA monitor, which cost quite a lot back then. It was originally the family computer, but eventually became a hand-me-down when my parents

I have a Ryzen 5000-series PC that I built about 6 months ago using mostly new parts. Yesterday I was curious whether my PC was compatible out of the box, so I downloaded Microsoft's compatibility checker. It told me that my PC didn&#x

I recently rebuilt my gaming PC with a Ryzen 5000-series. Surprisingly, it has become my main work PC, and I haven't used it much for gaming. It's faster than my i9 Macbook pro, and another benefit is that I can only work when I&#

Yes, and I believe that's one of the reasons why there is so much hate for NFTs on this thread. People are selling tokens for huge amounts of money that confer no rights other than being able to say that you own the NFT. Obviously you

This is potentially the beginning of a very interesting trend, and something I have spent some time thinking about. My sense is that owning an NFT should allow you to control access to that content (even if your choice is just to make it pu

Betamax was slightly technically superior, but the reason it lost was that Sony initially limited recording times to 1 hour. This meant that most movies required 2 Betamax tapes, vs 1 for VHS. Betamax players were also much more expensive.

I never had an LG smartphone, but I have many fond memories of my old LG VX4400 dumbphone that I had from 2003-2007. It was built like a tank, easily fit in my pocket, and the battery lasted for 4 or 5 days. Sure it didn't have a web b

I was always intrigued by AMD processors in the 90s, although pretty much stuck with Intel. I built an Athlon 64 PC in 2004 - it was the first 64-bit consumer processor. Intel was going down the Itanium path, and AMD just added 64-bit exten
