Cables have another advantage: it's much easier to switch devices, just plug it in, no more connecting and disconnecting and figuring out how that specific device has implemented pairing.

I'm surprised this isn't discussed more widely (though even vendors know about this [0]). My wireless Logitech mouse didn't work properly when I had a hub connected to bring some connections to the front of my iMac (both with

Having To-dos and Calendar entries pop up at the right time, eliminating the need to switch apps in the daily flow, it was all such a work of genius. I never got used to Outlook, though I don't recall why, and now I'm back to what

Let us also remember Inbox, haven’t been able to manage day through my calendar, tasks and email in one place as seamlessly since that one was sunset.

I feel like that’s where the control key needs to be, I use that way more than escape, especially in combination with other keys and so it’s best when I can reach it easily.

The touchbar as a more complex, expensive and easy to break part is such a poor design choice. Though so is the rest of the butterfly keyboard. It shouldn’t cost so much to replace such a simple part that is directly used everyday. This is

Doesn't fix the problem though in case you have a bad manager. They will just be more subtle with their message.

That might be the exact reason they wouldn't put it in writing, but there are many "reputable" businesses in Europe and elsewhere with horrible conduct towards employees, with limited options to defend themselves for the empl

One place that I find has surprisingly good recipes is Wikipedia. Take paella [0] or the basic French sauces [1] for instance. It gives context and standard preparations as a great starting point with useful related items. It’s more advance

Another one is storing data, Apple for instance can easily lock in users with iCloud because it is so much more complicated keeping all devices and apps in sync without, with iCloud you have one login for passwords, browser, files, etc. In

You can solve that by not offering it as a default option, but rather only when the need arises. Here's a case: Say you have a flight booked at 125/120 seats, there's 80 spots overhead: - expect 5 not to come (120 left) - 25

On the fairness aspect: one issue is checking in hand luggage and the perception that boarding first will increase the chances of avoiding that and the wait at the luggage belt after the flight. There are several things to improve: 1. it wo

Telcos in Germany also use some shady tactics (just one of many examples, my in-laws were paying 5€/month for an otherwise free AOL email subscription). The one thing that really works over there is threatening to bring in a lawyer, th

Unless they buy back the hardware, why not? Companies change over time, it’s unrealistic to have the same service for ever (typically the product might be discontinued and not supported after some time, sometimes also the attitude when it c

This is very interesting, I've been following the discussion around Architecture.md [0], one of the issues mentioned was updating the doc. Going for a standardised way of organising the project might be helpful. I've recently been

I'm actually surprised there isn't more legal action taken. Not this specific case, but in advertising there's quite some damage for automated bans with unreasonable time to resolve the issue. In a setting where advertisers a

Communication is the key attribute to any promotion, no matter what they say they look for and you obviously get what you measure once the overcommunicators multiply to build their org. Related from the famous @gselevator: If you can only b

I did that and it was a real productivity boost, not only by reducing context switching but giving me time to sit outside to think or switch to my desk without any external disturbance. Having the freedom of not having to constantly interac

To be honest I don’t think they’re (MBAs) completely useless, I just think they often end up in the wrong position for the wrong reasons. I’ve had some great market research done by providing assignments to MBA students (though when I did m

The processed food I avoided mostly, though I do that in Europe as well. For the rest of it: might just be my perception to be honest, my impression was that the fruits and vegetables tasted very watery with little flavour, as if they were
