This reminds me of when the news channels back in 2014 always said "Harmless metadata" as damage control after the Snowden leaks. Compromised smart devices has been leveraged to hurt people all around the world. Do you think you a

I don’t use pretty much any of the features he listed. But Sequoia has made some M1 Pros run poorly in my environment. It’s unacceptable the amount of resources it takes to do basic stuff that we got right of 30 years ago.

Android was really cool for the first couple years, but now it's optimized for brand presence and ad delivery. Every Android device I've purchased for the last 10 years there's been a common expectation of the manufacturer tr

There's a bit of strawman going on where for example when author says "Not taking 12am slacks makes you not a team player". Never in my life have I heard that one. Also, anecdotal perspective: I've been private company a

The people who are running the diversity stuff at Google when I was there were very "Eye-for-an-eye". Some dumb stuff that happened while I was at Google: * There was a ERG for literally every single race except White people. &quo

Proprietary, and for the first half of its run, they were insanely expensive. Thin flimsy, always breaking. Short by default. They got nasty and stained quickly. Over the years, third party cheap ones were risky. May damage port or device.

"Apple knows best for us" is something I've gotten very tired of over the years. This example might be apples-and-oranges when it comes to the protecting Apple protecting iMessage, but they often rob the user of the choice th

Stuff like this brings tears to my eyes. Not so much the mouse subject matter, but how the values brought by this show are now in short supply, and it saddens me to think Rogers' efforts are becoming obsolete to modern people. A few ex

I'm tired of Microsoft existing. Working on enterprise or higher level Microsoft is a way to get Grey hair fast. All the way back to Server 2003, we had the infuriating inconsistency of group policy, roaming profiles, DFS drives. Every

Man, I used to spend hours on KidPix back on my old 68k mac. It's not quite the same, and a lot of the effects are not 1:1, but it's still a cool throwback.
