A better way to say that is "This will boost the second-hand value of older Bose speakers". Budget-aware folks will buy these second-hand, neophiles will buy new, confident that long term solutions will exist even after "long

I'm thankful that GP spoke up. I come to the comments to find out what these "clickbait title" articles (meaningless words with no context) really are before clicking. Secondly, the site appears to be "hug of death"

This thing seems to stand alone though? As in - I don't have to have a watch, nor, it sounds like, do I have to have my phone within pairing range when I record something. It's unlocked though, so maybe a software toggle will let

You're right on the innovation speech, mea culpa. You surprise me with a proposal for shorter copyright terms. Interesting! For fun, here's an interesting discussion countering my own earlier statements - Once a work is in the pub

ooo thanks for the link, buuut it appears NEATO Robotics vacuums aren't supported ... yet. I had hoped Home Assistant might be able to handle it but it appears their integration just sends the data to NEATO, which no no longer works.

TODAY I got an email saying my $600 robot vacuum cleaner -- which only works via an app -- would no longer work with said app. It has no physical buttons to manage schedules, just a "spot clean now" button. I hand-wrung when I bou

I read the quoted sentence as "25 of the 52" -- not an additional 25 of the 87 -- because of the word "these". 52 pairs similar schooling 25 of these had very similar schooling Thus the math becomes "87-52=35&qu

Maybe other apps are better, but my guess is that they just work harder at copying PhotoShop's UX whilst GIMP actively worked to innovate. Remember too that PhotoShop itself is unintuitive and hard to learn. That unintuitiveness is a m

"Constant" implies a larger context. As in - it's not very "constant" if you keep re-making it in your loop, right? Whereas "immutable" throws away that extra context and means "whatever variable you

Learning GIMP as a PS user is like changing operating systems. ... but it has always been worth it for any normal person, IMO. That said... PS's new AI tools might make GIMP no longer a viable option even for normies like me.

FWIW - On my laptop (track pad), I expected to click-drag or ctrl-drag to move it, but on a track pad it's two-finger swipe to move it left/right. then pinch zoom.

It's a game that allies play in order to prepare for enemies. When played with allies, it connects you to each other and lets you put your guard down (which is perverse to those that don't get it). The same game played with an ene

Agreed. Wasn't interested in the article at all based on the zero-context title. Glanced at the comments anyway and ... Antarctica?

yeah copying can take a loooooooong time and so you multitask. maybe the randomness is based on the other apps he's using at the same time.

Interesting that he went from 30% failure to it taking a while to find a single failure after replacing everything. Random is random, and random is clumpy, so maybe swapping parts is irrelevant, but... I wanted more detail how often the cor
