I just finished a run of Link to the Past / Super Metroid crossover randomizer. And it's one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. The items for both games are randomized and distributed across both games. For exam

It's sad when social networks and messaging platforms die. Every major one I've gotten invested in has gone belly up: AIM, Xanga, Yahoo Messanger, MSN, Myspace, and now Facebook is hemmoraging users. And Whatsapp isn't too

Our representation system is pretty messed up. Montana has 2 senators with a population of 577,000. But New York state has 2 senators with a population of 19.5 million. And the entire midwest is like that, with tons of representation for

I loved Google Cloud Print. It made printing from various computers I have a lot easier, since I didn't have to install drivers on each one. It's the only reason I have Chrome installed still. Why does Google always kill useful

Just disable permissions for camera and microphone in the Facebook app. It doesn't affect uploading photos, and you can still use Messenger to take selfies and send voice messages.

A good mall really is designed to be like a city. It's an interesting comparison. I noticed the same thing when I moved to Manhattan from the suburbs. Not just the proximity to retail stores (I live a half a block away from a Lulule

War being quick, cheap, with victory almost guaranteed has been the justification for every major conflict for hundreds of years. You never know when a "quick strike" will lead to a bloody destructive costly war that lasts a gene

I think we need a good YouTube alternative. Sure, there are lots of them out there. But one people actually use. YouTube is the best place to find so many things: creator videos, music, clips from TV shows, and years and years of videos

My wife and I make combined 250k per year, and even we are unsure about whether it makes financial sense to buy. I'm in a high cost of living area (NYC), and a 1 bedroom apartment is 600k or higher vs renting at 2.5k per month.

This is the reason I use Gnome. Sure, I could spend time tweaking and theming KDE Plasma's bars or messing around with i3 config files. But Gnome is pretty straightforward. Sure there are extensions and GTK themes. But it's pr

Especially high school students. We had to get up at 5:55 am everyday in the early 2000s, with class starting promptly at 7:35 am. It definitely affected our attention span for the first few classes each day. I count my blessings that n

They WERE throaways for the first 10 years of smartphones. Every iPhone or Android release brought so many new improvements that last year's phone looked ancient. Nowadays, we've finally hit diminishing returns and a 2 year old i

You can have releases based on a timed schedule, or you can have them based on a set number of features. You either release every year, making sure it's solid regardless of what new features are in place. Or you based it on when the

It's a little too tightly coupled to my Firefox account, which I don't like. I use separate profiles for home and work, and usually share the same set of passwords. LastPass or Bitwarden are independent from my browser account,

This is wonderful. I wish they would make Pocket a little less terrible (no forced reader mode for links, etc)

Is the distinction that it's private space? There's tons of recording equipment monitoring public roads, sidewalks, streets, inside stores, etc. In Manhattan, you're on camera way more than you're off camera.

Why does Yahoo always shut down their most useful products? They shut down Yahoo Boss Geolocation services, which at the time was among the most accurate geolocation services (look up an address, and get a latitude/longitude position)

Another way to keep the sidewalks clear is to not allow them to begin with.

I live in Manhattan, and I literally have never seen human waste anywhere in NYC since I've lived here. Plenty of dog poop, maybe a needle in sketchy areas. But San Francisco is another level of screwed up these days.

What you can get at Sears you can get better at Mavis Discount Tire (much faster tire replacement), Kohls (better, cheaper clothes), or Home Depot (bigger tool selection). The main problem with Sears is that they forgot to focus on keeping

I'd love to have a dual screen tablet like that. One of the reasons I like reading on an iPad is because you can tilt it horizontally and have two screens of paper.

Look at the Dell XPS 13. It has a really good keyboard, and it's very thin. It's not that hard.
