For anyone near a Warby Parker, they'll happily measure your PD in about 30 seconds. Measurements can vary slightly so you might want to do it a few times and average them.

I'd been wondering if this was from 7 Up, before I saw this comment. And now just seeing that 63 Up aired in June 2019. Wow!

I love Mariage Frères, Eros. Also their Marco Polo and Earl Grey. I'm curious to try some others mentioned in the comments.

Completely agree. I used Sprint's 128kbps roaming and it's better than nothing, but so many basic things just won't load. iMessage and Google Maps were decent (particularly if you download the map for offline). What doesn&#x2

PSA: If you mostly like to watch movies and/or cinematic TV (with the lights off, or in a dimly lit room), consider a home theater projector instead of a TV. In a dark room (even with white walls) the image is fanatic in cinema mode, a

When using ScreenSharing on the Mac, CMD + Tab used to switch between apps on the local Mac (like using any other app). Which means, to switch apps on the remote Mac, you needed to use the Dock or some other method. Then at some point a few

For me, Spotify is the 4th app when searching for "music", but it's the first app that doesn't contain the word "music" as the first or second word in the name. It goes: 1. Apple Music 2. Music 3. Music>

This is good work. It's amazing how the pressure has to come from outside to get any traction. I just realized that I set up this Twitter account 10 years ago, this month: https://twitter.com/passwordfail Most sites do

This is similar to the idea of writers who stop writing mid-sentence so that it becomes a springboard to continue the next day.

It also seems like Amazon now holds shipments until the last possible moment if you don't pay for Prime. Meanwhile, my Target orders often arrive in 2 days or even overnight (in NYC) for free. Wal-Mart's prices for most items I re

If I want a trip down memory lane, I can just check the data breach section of CreditKarma and see a chronological history of all of my passwords from the last 25 years. At this point, I'd join a social network that matched me with all

My biggest hope for this card is that it encourages far more people to use Apple Pay (2% vs 1% cash back), which, in turn, encourages more retailers to optimize the checkout process for contactless, and hopefully gets rid of having to use t

I also had the Sprint BYOD promo for a year since I had an unlocked iPhone 6+ at the time. The network was only very slightly worse than Verizon (mostly in and around NYC). I switched to Tello (Sprint MVNO, $17/mo for 3GB) when the pro

There’s an app called TripMode that does this. https://www.tripmode.ch/ The fine-grained control is nice but still seems like a glaring omission that the Mac still isn’t “tethering-aware” with regard to conserving data — e

Gotta say, the fact that the installation instructions consist primarily of getting around the "unknown / unidentified developer" restriction doesn't inspire confidence.

About 30 years ago I saw “The Five Doctors” (the 25th anniversary episode of Doctor Who). Ever since then I’ve believed the smell, and associated feeling, were due to “positive ions”. In all that time I’ve never fact checked that line, but

I really wish there were more GUI wrappers that literally wrote the CLI commands out on screen as the GUI was modified, to help with bridging the GUI/CLI gap for people. Also, I miss arRsync.

This is the point of sandboxing apps in the Mac App Store, and (to my understanding) providing simple and complete uninstallation. Mac users that care about issues like this (and I'm not saying they shouldn't) can avoid them by ch
