The verge produces some good articles. This is not an example. I tried to read it, but quickly got bogged down in irrelevant fluff. So I skimmed the rest. Then I searched the article for "Sullivan". Every other occurrence is follo

On the Mac there is ff·Works. It is a terrific GUI for ffmpeg. The way it works fits my brain better than the command line interface. I can stack up a bunch of jobs with any of the parameters I need and it munches right through. Works on a

I love Keyboard Maestro for all my Macs. It takes a while to learn all the quirks, but it does heavy duty work for me every day. I am not aware of any equivalent for Windows.

I have used dedicated key pads for video/photo editing on my desktop mac for many years. I’ve found that what matters most to make it more efficient and enjoyable is the quality of the key switches. I started with a Genovation CP24 tha

Keyboard Maestro is not just a Macro Recorder. It can control most of the Mac interface and most applications. You can start using it as a recorder but when you learn to to incorporate applescripts and other tricks, it can manipulate the en

I also use Molly White's write-ups to loosely follow the everlasting crypto train wreck. This particular one is amazingly concise and easy to read. I hope she keeps it up. There is no way I would have the energy to look up all of this

I am not sure what you mean calling me a bot and implying that Molly does not work. It takes effort to keep up with all this stuff and post those summaries. I hope she keeps it going a couple more years. Sorry about the delayed reply. I hav

I love Molly's work on web3isgoingjustgreat. I like following this slow moving train wreck, but just don't have the time or energy to read all the news reports on these projects. There is a lot of lazy "reporting" on cry

A couple of very good computer forums that I depended on years ago were slowly destroyed by "long term users". A small group seemed to think that their long history and prolific posting made it their playground. Little by little i

I'm not a fan of Musk overall, but Starlink is pure gold for us in rural America. Before this, my best option was 25Mbps for $125/mo. I installed mine about 5 months ago. You really need to put it in a location that has no obstruc

I'm an avid cyclist and this was a fascinating article. Well researched and well written. The author put in a lot of time to track down all the lies, but it sort of glosses over one point. There had to be a ton of people that knew it w

I drop by HN almost every day, mostly just to learn some new thing during a break. This discussion has been very helpful to me. I work a lot with Final Cut but it is tedious when you need short little cuts on many videos. I tried Shotcut an

I did not see his comment as looking down on anyone. I too am surprised that so many people here do not manage their windows with Keyboard Maestro. Anyone with a desktop Mac and some kind of programming skill needs Keyboard Maestro. It not

Molly provides a great service to skeptics like me. She concise, easy to read, articulate and funny. I feel like I live in a world where a huge train wreck is getting set up. I would like to follow along but it has gotten to the point where

Whenever I want to investigate a technical topic that is in the news, my process is to first read several articles from decent publications to get grounded. Then I come here to go over current (and past) discussions of the topic. I am almos

This question has baffled me also. What on earth motivates some people to diligently post basically the same diatribe every day forever? Some of these guys work harder and more consistently at this than I will ever work on anything I do. An

The scope can’t image anything at all right now, and it will be quite a while before it can. Each mirror segment was firmly supported to withstand the violent forces at launch. In the past few days, the two 3-segment wings swung into positi

Many discussions here turn argumentative but still retain their civility. Many posters will apologize and further clarify their ideas if anyone complains for the slightest reason. While not every discussion is of this level, there are many

It's true that HN has gotten more crowded with more noise, but it is still the best there is. I won't be going anywhere. I am constantly amazed at the thoughtful comments from people who are informed on a subject and take their ti

I also prefer text to videos, but there are many times when you need to churn through six lousy vids to get the one thing you need. I use Movist Pro (Mac-only) for videos that work with youtube-dl. Once you set it up it's like magic. I

Not as good as The Fifth Element, but I liked it a lot. I don't understand why it gets so much hate. All movies have parts that are well done and parts that I would have done differently.

A year ago I was looking to get a big screen for my iMac Pro. I looked at many monitors in the 40" range, then on a whim I put my 55" LG OLED TV on my desk 30" from my face and hooked it up. Wow, it is better and easier on th

S.P.Q.R. is one of the oldest current brands, comes from the Roman Empire. Translates from latin to "The Senate and the people of Rome" I worked there for a year in 1974. Italians visiting from other parts of Italy claimed it stoo

I agree. Affinity started very strong and just keeps getting better. Adobe's subscription BS is going to hurt them in the long game.

They got traffic flowing sooner than I guessed they could. Three container ships and a livestock carrier have left Bitter lake and are entering the channel right now, heading for Suez. The third one in the group is the Ever Globe, the same
