The "low audio quality after/during conference" problem as I understand it is because of the SCO codec used for Bluetooth microphone stuff (which is lower bandwidth but allows you to speak and listen at the same time). It tak

It seems to have much better performance than VNC for me, so I don't think it's doing the screen capture thing. Or maybe it is and it's just fast regardless. In my experience it feels almost as good as RDP for Windows, whic

This didn't happen for me, unless you are talking about a different cumulative update. I just installed KB5010795 and Firefox is still my default. Edge has been popping up a modal on startup lately to reset your default browser, are yo

FreeRDP is a wonderful RDP server replacement: https://www.freerdp.com/ It's so good that Microsoft uses it for WSLg.

I think this makes selling HN accounts much more valuable, since if you have an old account that you don't use anymore you could probably find someone who wants to quickly get their startup in front of a bunch of techies for $100 or wh

Pretzels are still pretty good, although they won’t give them to you on short haul unless you’re in first.

I was unfamiliar with the term, so from the Urban Dictionary: > wine aunt: An aunt with little to no interest in having children. Has much more interest in having a free and carefree life than the responsibilities of a family.

That’s what I was thinking of, sorry I got it that wrong. I could’ve sworn there used to be a frontline plan that was something lower than that, but now I can’t find it.

It’s kind of sad when you find a great Apple doc that there’s a 90% chance the top of the page says “Documentation Archive”.

The problem isn’t that the VM itself is slow (in fact, Apple’s hypervisor is pretty good IME) but that sharing files with the Mac filesystem is slow. If you use Docker volumes the issue goes away, but that’s kind of hard unless your editor

Corporate networks makes sense, but giving carriers the ability to disable it on the phone (i.e. not via blocking mask.icloud.com) doesn’t make sense. It’s not like personal hotspot where it allows you to bypass network policies, except for

From a Windows perspective, launching the start menu without explorer.exe should be impossible (at least for non-wizards), which is why they thought this was impossible. It doesn’t make sense for a user to kill the start menu to relieve mem
