The external USB sound card doesn’t always work because the USB supply voltage can vary with processor CPU. You need to use a USB headphone output with good isolation.

But then a silent build wouldn’t be interesting to you at all. The garage idea is good for someone who does want Silent computing.

Why not just put the computer in the adjacent different room and install a DisplayPort and USB patch panel on each side of the wall? Monitor and peripherals in one room and the computer on the other side. It’s what I would do if I owned a h

This kind of screening is extremely fucked up because average people are terrible statistical reasoners . A 99.999% accurate DNA test will find mostly innocent people if applied to a database of tens of millions of people. And even without

I don’t mean killing IPv4 - I mean all infrastructure and ISPs supporting IPv6 and treating IPv4 as legacy. Like V12 gasoline engines. They exist and are even produced today but the world has pretty much abandoned them.

I’d rather these run out even faster so we can just get on with IPv6. Why waste effort on these dying gasps of v4.

This comment is a great illustration of why companies and investors prefer software as a service business models wherever possible.

If I worked remotely I would never work from home. I’d work remotely from a separate one-room office and hopefully have my employer pay for that office.

Rent in SF is over $5 per square foot per month. So if your bike displaces the use of 6 square feet in your apartment you're paying $30 per month to house it. If you only want a bike a few times a year it's better to rent.

I think the bigger problem with the business model is that the things break down constantly. I usually have to check >5 of them to find one that works.

Except... he actually wrote it. It’s like if someone said Dropbox is a weekend project and then it was available for download the next Monday.

Wow, Tesla instantly went from my dream car (having replaced Bentley) to Do Not Buy. I simply will not buy a car or other dangerous equipment from a company that doesn’t care if I die and only cares about their brand.

This is probably FB people sitting on a few million bucks who have stayed due to inertia. Now being at FB looks icky to their friends and they have enough $ to say fuck it.

It’s just that this device is completely pointless to me. So I’d only be interested if it was an attractive curio.

Dark team - this is a great idea that I used myself. I had a startup building an Excel-like product and we had a casual office in SF. We didn't pay anyone but got some consulting teams to come into our offices for a few days so we coul

Most likely effect of pushing this marketplace underground will be to reduce its size (total sex transactions per year) but make it much more dangerous for those who continue to participate (both buyers and sellers).

After having a kid I think I can see what creates the gender gap and the same effect is happening to me. Now, if there’s a conference call at 5:30 at work, I skip it. If there’s a new project that’s going to make me work extra hours I decli

Nvidia shield tv is tops. I think Oppo probably hit something a lot of companies are, which is that quality is losing value. People are less able to discern quality so making top notch products at top notch prices is a weakening strategy.

These guys consistently made the absolute best disc players (DVD, BluRay, 4K BluRay). Guess it wasn’t enough.

The author seems to be SSHing most of the time, so it’s more accurate to say that he’s using an iPad Pro as his primary terminal rather than as his primary computer.

It's BS because no media company has ever operated its editorial fully independently of its revenue model, and if any has come close it's the old-school newspapers owned by fat cats, not startups reviewing tech products.

No, because of that multiplier all companies are coming into compliance and it's costing all of them a lot of money. But it isn't going to affect their revenue or advertising business models at all because nobody uses the tool. I&
