This one blows my mind. Discovery was kept in as close to as-flown condition as possible to be the vehicle of record for future research. No museum on the planet is better equipped to handle things like that than the Smithsonian. Hopefully

That's the impression I get from Cloudflare - it seems like a group of highly skilled people attempting to solve real problems for the benefit of the web as a whole. As both a paid business user and a free user for home projects, I de

I used to think that, not having used an iPad. Now I carry a work-issued iPad with 5G and it's actually pretty convenient for remote access to servers. I wouldn't want to spend a day working on it, but it's way faster than

This one guy wants to throw away the greatest culinary achievement in 100 years, the greatness of which all other accomplishments are judged by.

I did wonder if that one provocative statement would even be noticed :-) You make a good argument. I see the functional point of a top cut. Helps prevent condiment excursions. Less likely to break in half. BUT, it's just so much b

This impacted my family directly. A family member has a severe sesame allergy. Honestly we weren't aware people could be allergic to sesame before we found ourselves in the hospital after a severe reaction. Shortly after the hospital

I've also attempted to live with the New Outlook on a work laptop while keeping the Old Outlook going on my work desktop. The new interface looks nice, but it does take a bit to re-learn where things are. Most things I do regularly ar

I never see ads on Linux, Windows or Android. Occasionally I try to watch YouTube on an iPad and am shocked at how frequent and irritating the ads are. Same with browsing the web on an iPad outside of the home pi-hole'd network. Howw

Bummer. T-2 years before it becomes an algorithmically-optimized so-so miniseries. Nothing lasts forever.

This fantastic news. It's possible to take an android out of the box, install F-Droid and have a reasonably useful phone without even logging into the play store. Glad to see them getting some credit for the hard work!

Any 6th grader, or really anyone with an older brother, understands this intuitively. It's kinda fun to see the playground bully described in such scientific terms though.

Exact same situation here. Linux, fairly funky firefox setup, eventually couldn't use half of the internet without hitting CF prompts, often wasn't able to get around them. I wound up removing / reinstalling firefox...same e

I work at a place with LTE GPS trackers on fleet vehicles. Tracking boxes get moved from old -> new vehicles when possible. Otherwise the cell and tracking services are deactivated ASAP to avoid paying a monthly fee on an unused tracker.

Hey, that's very helpful to know. I'm semi-shopping for a battery to take out for ham radio things - looking at the River 3 and an Anker C300. Haven't dealt with EcoFlow before but Anker has taken care of me on a couple of w

Same! My dad laughed at me for getting into vinyl - he remembered it as scratchy and irritating. Cassettes are nostalgic, for sure. I used to sit for hours waiting for whatever song to come on the radio so I could record it for future en
