Why is it garish? I see it as the opposite and I am curious to hear another perspective.

These run Android. I want a feature phone without Android spyware etc.

No, but I want an eink feature phone capable of sms, voice, maps, compass, reader, and calculator. That would be my ideal everyday device.

It is a great sci-fi novel. I recommend adding a spoiler tag to your comment. Let folks experience the book first hand.

I empathize as I had the same issues for decades. I grew up in the midwest and spent considerable time in NY too. I had three sinus surgeries before turning 30. I've been in SoCal for almost four years and my sinus issues rarely flare

Southern California. You can't escape compromising on certain factors like costs, but I find it a pleasant place to wake up everyday. As I've gotten older, I've prioritized my daily wellbeing more and more.

Interesting take on tech and Austin over a long period. I was one signature away from moving there in 2019. I had visited Austin on behalf of clients for fours years prior. It has it charms and a Texas-like version of Denver in a way. I pas

This is accurate. I barely passed high school with heavy help from the counseling team. Then I went to a community college for a few years with low stress and learned how to study before transferring to a liberal arts college. I count mysel

Maybe I am dating myself but Office Space was always popular.

I tried to start this project before leaving Yahoo. At least in my orbit, no one was interested. I could’ve done a poor job of communicating the idea but there was/is too much churn after the Apollo acquisition.

I’ve been using 1Blocker for a few years. If anyone knows a better one, please chime in. I like that it works on iOS and Mac Safari.

I switched to Safari last year. The battery life improvements over Chrome makes it worth. It’s been a solid browser experience and I haven’t gone back to Chrome for anything. I wish I could add Kagi as a default search.

Have you visited r/rivian lately? I think Rivian can sustain itself given the market opportunity and the end product is well received. Their R1 platform has won accolades across the auto community both established and new like Doug Dem

I hope the American auto companies can respond quick enough. Rivian, Tesla, Canoo and similar are exciting to watch. American car companies didn't have the industry's attention until recently.

It is never too late to start. Regardless of the CCP, we’ve witnessed the over reliance on a singular country for hardware and its supply chain impacts. It is time to diversify.

Correct. Be careful about sharing a document in progress, notes, or just simple thoughts in text. People will pick it apart word by word. Why? It is the culture Amazon created. Sometimes it helps. Sometimes it's a waste of everyone&#x2

Amazon is high documentation, high meetings culture. The documentation is reviewed by peers, bar raisers, and leaders in a process called document read before being official. Edit: Someone asked for more detail on high meeting culture. Ther

Do you have examples?

Is that a millennial in the comic? I thought it was a Gen X or older character. Back in our day, I am thinking mid to late 90’s for techno optimism at its peak.

Advertising that is partially powered by Microsoft. Yes, Netflix is selling audience data.

Correct. This is the start of increasing prices and testing ads on other tiers.

Do you have examples to share? I am interested as I shoot with film, mirrorless, and on iPhones.

Ben Thompson always writes positive Meta and FB content. I was a paid subscriber until I realized his strong bias for all things Zuck.

I never picked up a reMarkable because its DPI is ~220. The Kindle Scribe solves this with 300 DPI.

MK2 brings back massive memories from my youth. Taking a step back, are fighting games popular today? I don't game much, but I haven't seen or heard of any major fighting games outside of RPG style battles.

This is not how I understood the phrasing. Layoffs can include a mix of randomization, removal of non-critical areas or groups, and quantitative low performers (reviews). The initial output of the layoffs may have skewed in one direction in

The Apple Watch charging routine works best with 15-20 minute spurts when available. I will wear it to sleep, and charge it when I wake up for less than 30 minutes as I ready for a run or gym session. Then I charge it again while I shower.

Why are all supplements gummies lately? I see rows of gummy supplements at pharmacy and groceries. I would rather take a pill.
