Yes. Just to be clear, I'm going to buy neither a Homepod nor a Sonos. I think I'm going to get dumb speakers and a Raspberry/Hifiberry. Shairplay does 90% of what I want a smart speaker to do, and I think a Raspberry is a pr

I was going to buy a Sonos speaker, but this changed my mind. I'm not buying a device that was built to be bricked. I would have bought a Sonos instead of an Apple Homepod because I thought they were more "open". But if the m

It would be nice if the tool path was customisable so you could create something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Mellan#/media/File:Clau...

The intended customers are "service[s] that [are] focused on user privacy, whistle blowing sites, vpn services" and "dating, lgbt, hookup sites". How would you provide a service like that without any programmers?

GitUp because it makes rewriting git commits really easy! It's a graphical tool that's not just a wrapper around the CLI tools. It's incredibly powerful yet comes with all the amenities of a GUI tool (pressed wrong key by acc

If it's technically very simple, why would your customers buy your product rather than build it themselves?

I think cloud computing is an implementation detail that nobody outside of tech really cares about. People who sell IT services try to spin it as this big thing, but for people outside the industry it's just not such a big thing. Yes,

I think most of the latency between key press and rendering to screen is in the layout / drawing phase. Forwarding a few function calls is usually pretty fast, the text layout and rendering part is what is slow. Especially since many U

Why not? The developer gets money every month. How is that not "recurring"? I sell a software product (pay once with upgrades every few years), and every month people show up and buy licenses. My monthly revenue is pretty stable,

I'm pretty impressed what you figured out by just experimenting. What you are describing is the transition between laminar flow and turbulent flow. The point where this transition occurs is governed by the "Reynolds Number".

Are you using any USB 3 devices? I had really bad problems with wireless mice and keyboards after I had gotten an USB 3 hub from Anker... Apparently USB 3 devices are prone to interfere with wireless devices in the 2.4GHz band

I've been waiting for Qi charging as well! I love my original MX Master, but it really annoys me when I have to deal with that charging cable. USB-C might be a marginal improvement, but I' love to be able to just put the mouse on

No. Used toilet water is definitely dirty and unsafe. Something from a dumpster may be perfectly clean, and a lot of people take stuff from the trash, and as long as it's not been in contact with gross stuff that's not a problem.

It's a 3 way merge tool that works well with Fork. To be honest I can't say how it compares with other merge tools, I tried a few merge tools some time back and liked P4 best.

If that's all AirBnB was used for, nobody would complain. But at least 90% of listings on Airbnb are for whole apartments that nobody lives in. If people just rented out their guest room, or rented their apartment out while they'r

I'm in Austria, so iTunes doesn't have any TV shows at all, and for movies it's hit and miss. Two films I recently looked for and didn't find are "Tank Girl" and "Waking Life", not really any special.

We have a Netflix subscription, an Amazon Prime subscription, and we occasionally rent movies from the iTunes Store. But if I want to watch something specific, 50% of the time I still can't get it on any of the stores. I don't und

The problem is that investors buy up cheap apartments and put them on AirBnB to make insane profits. This drives up prices for locals. The other tenants are mad because landlords prefer renting apartments to tourists for 5k a month instead

If you put it this way, it sounds sensible. But as soon as VC money is involved it gets a bit fishy. Say you assembled a great team of specialists. It cost you a lot of effort, time and money to hire all these really great people. Then some

I'm not sure I'd read too much into the "for servers" part. Everyone expects Apple to switch to ARM chips sooner or later for their laptops and desktops. Their A CPUs would probably already be fast enough for entry level

We tried the calendar to check off days for my son, and that didn't work. We'd check off days and then forget the pills, or give him the pills and not check the dates. Pillbox with pills for every day of the week works better.

Does he have a pill box? If not, get a transparent pillbox with compartments for every day of the week (you can also get them with separate compartments for morning / evening). Then put it in a place that he will always see it (eg. ki
