Yup. Was going to say the same thing. I remember my first encounter with a switched network bent my brain. What, I have to give everything an address? Where'd this 192.168 come from? Networking used to be so easy ! Anyway, we all lear

In Assistive Access mode ? What version are you on? My dad passed in the spring, so it's moot for me, but I'd be glad to know that they've fixed it for other people. [Edit: someone else in this thread said it's still bu

Agree with every word of this. It's the open-ness that's kept me on Android all these years. I'm less of a phone-tinkerer than I was a decade ago, but I still use dozens of those side-project, non-commercial F-Droid / si

Speaking strictly for myself, it's because I did eye contact wrong. As a teenager, with standard-issue high-function ASD eye-contact aversion: fake it, by looking only at the bridges of people's noses. After learning, from doing t

If I get into a rhythm with the "advance ten-seconds" button between plays I can get down to around an hour, without missing any plays, or pre-snap action. It'd be a lot less, even, but there are times we want to see the repl

I, for my sins, have had to read PCI certification standards, and they're required to be encrypted, or not stored at all. Not that every implementation follows that, of course, but that's the expectation.

My company had them on-hand until around 2021, when I told everyone to throw them out. They'd last been used - at one location, during a complete POS meltdown (I don't miss Aloha at all) - in maybe 2018? No one could remember a pr

Earlier this year I set an iPad up for my elderly dad - it was going to be used for podcasts and YouTube, only - and it looked like it was going to be ideal. "What a great feature," I thought! Except... There is no way to turn of

Yup. Yup yup yup. Years ago (so I'm open to the idea that it's got better in the last decade or so - but if we're talking about Office, I will doubt your assertion) I used styles religiously, because I was a younger man who t

I agree with all of that. Thing is that I think baseball could have fixed all of this by breaking the MLB umpires union. It's not that I'm anti-union - far, far from it - it's that it should be the professional baseball ump

I can anecdotally confirm this, based on my father's experience in a private-equity owned facility in California. It was astonishing how under-staffed they were for the amount of care the patients needed. (I'm sure they were at

I agree entirely. Baseball is about the accumulation of (very) small advantages. No umpire is being unfair (whatever particular fans may think about certain umpires - though, yes, some are better than others), but each umpire is unique ,

Yeah, and I'm an old man, so let me lament how this takes some more fun out of baseball. Those arguments were always a bit of kayfabe, but they were glorious! Who didn't love Earl Weaver kicking dirt on homeplate, or Billy Martin

What fields? Or what regions? My experience is limited, of course, and this is all anecdotal. I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
