We started seeing signs of issues Wednesday and Thursday with messages being out of order or disappearing and reappearing. Today has been much worse. Not even able to send images (though thankfully gifs still work lol). Not sure if it is re

You sign into your personal Apple accounts on your work computer? Seems like a very bad idea to mix work and personal.

Almost 100% of my chat messages are through iMessage. The only ones that aren’t are group or individual threads with Android users (which btw have never seemed to be an issue. Reactions and gifs all seem to work fine, albeit in reduced qual

I find that manually reconciling my accounts (bank, credit card, etc) forces me to think about the money I spend. For years I used Microsoft Money. After they discontinued it, I even used their “sunset edition”. I got tired of having to kee

Yeah, I’ve read all the stories. Unfortunately my wife loves the car, and while it is paid off, it isn’t worth much on the secondary market, so we plan to just drive it until it dies.

As someone currently adding 1qt every 1000 miles to their 2017 Tucson, I chuckled. Between their oil consumption issues, the spontaneous combustion issues, and the cost cutting immobilizer saga, I won’t buy anything from Hyundai/Kia ag

Anyone remember RIP graphics from the BBS days? There were only a couple BBS’ near me that supported it, but it sure seemed magical at the time.

Another vote for TP-Link here. I’m a big fan of how easy it is to adopt new devices too. Most recently I had to add a switch for work VLAN purposes. While waiting for it to arrive, I preconfigured the VLANs in the controller. When it arrive

You can still use Microsoft Money sunset edition completely offline. I did this myself until about 2 years ago, when I broke down and wrote a simple web app to fill the need.

My 2016 CX-5 has settings for keyless entry in the infotainment system. Wonder if the 6 does also?

I loved my 2006 xB (thunder cloud metallic, manual transmission). It was the first new car I purchased. Traded it in a couple years later and regretted it.

I have one of those Intel “stick PCs”. I keep it running in my server rack for anything I need Windows for. It is not fast, but at like 2W idle, I don’t worry about leaving it running all the time. I just RDP into it when I need it. I also

For me personally, I find myself reaching for go + html/template + sqlite unless requirements lead me towards something else. It is simple and straightforward, and gives me decent velocity. In the past I might have said express + react

I use rtlamr to receive and record my natural gas usage, and I wrote some code to receive my water usage from my water meter (though I’ve since moved that code to an Adafruit Feather w/ an RFM69 module).

I’ve been rocking a Latitude 7370 for around 5 years now. Picked it up used in 2018 for $475. It has been a great machine. Works great under Fedora. 3200x1800 touch screen, 16GB ram. Swapped the m.2 SATA SSD for an NVMe drive. It’s not a su

Believe it or not, the legacy point of sale product I work on still uses a VB6 app for the cash office and reporting functions. A number of large grocery stores still use it in the US and abroad. I don’t work on that part of the application

E cores have been the bane of my existence at $dayjob. I received a new laptop a while back with an i7-12800H. I make heavy use of VMware workstation virtual machines under Windows. It kept wanting to put my VMs on the E cores, which meant

The built in support for git in Visual Studio 2022 is pretty good, but I do occasionally find myself reaching for the command line still.

Traditional point of sale systems generally have the notion of a “transaction log” or “tlog” which is a sequence of events within the transaction including items sold and their price at the time.

Go find a well established company where you can work on an existing product. I work on a legacy point of sale product that started life in the 80’s and is still powering a good chunk of commerce around the world. I work on a small yet effi

Most people access social media using mobile apps, not websites. I don’t think I’ve used the Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter websites in years.

A good number of digital coupons are manufacturer coupons. (I work in this space) Kroger is usually pretty good about adding shelf tags that highlight the digital coupon. I much prefer digital coupons to paper coupons that I always seem to
