Snapshots are a huge timesaver for me. I work on a large legacy windows application where it might take me an hour to set up the system in such a way to reproduce an issue. I can do that once, then revert to that snapshot over and over whil

The same with most point-of-sale machines. I worked for a point-of-sale vendor for a while that had both Windows and Linux versions of our software. All but one retailer chose the Windows version because they felt it was much easier to mana

There are some people who are really only capable of doing these "boring, low paid jobs". Not everyone is capable of being an information worker or a hard physical laborer.

Oh yeah, I know. I was just theorizing about another way to defeat the camera. On the subject of the ring doorbell, we have one, and the most annoying part is that after 30 seconds of recording, it stops until another motion event triggers

rtlamr is awesome. I use it to monitor my gas meter (which is going crazy lately with the low temps here in Ohio). I had started a project [1] to read my water and electric meters, but just about the time I started figuring out the protocol

If you’re comfortable with a soldering iron, there is a pretty easy fix for the GPU. I fixed mine earlier this year and it has been rock solid since. https://youtu.be/DzcgT_fiVTA

My 7 year old Kodak Play Sport waterproof HD camera has a removable battery and has no problems being submerged at the bottom of a swimming pool. I'm confident that Apple could figure it out if they wanted to.

In the U.S., at least on AT&T, there is a difference between 4G and LTE. When my iPhone 6S+ switches the indicator from LTE to 4G, the data speeds are many times slower.

Just this week I've emailed with some contractors for some repairs at my house. Two of the three I received emails from came from an @aol.com email address.

It is even worse if you work for a large company with Office 365 that uses your organizations domain for authentication. I think there are about 6 redirects to get logged in. Even worse than that, they made us create a "personal&quot

This reminds me of something my local credit union used to do. They had something where you picked an image during signup that they would always show you during subsequent sign-ons so that you knew you were actually signing into their site

Agreed. I became aware of Louis' work after looking for information on the infamous Mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15 GPU kernel panic. After watching this video [1], I was able to replace the same capacitor for ~$3 and restore a previously unu

Very neat, congratulations for finishing a side project! As someone who recently switched from Dish Network to a mix of internet TV providers, I'm really struggling to keep track of which episodes of which shows I've seen. Before

Completely unrelated, but I just had to comment that I love the style of this webpage. Those double-line borders take me back to my days of writing toy programs in Clipper.

I went though the "adoption" procedure in July with no issues. I was migrating from an aging Windows system to a Linux system and had no issues. I was expecting to have problems and to re-upload my ~500GB of data, but surprising
