This is a common response whenever I talk about this, and I don’t find it compelling. (Sorry.) Windows+1..6 is a terrible keyboard shortcut as they’re both on the fingers of the left hand. You’re limited to 9 apps, and good luck to your mus

On Windows, these tools are ‘app launchers’. They launch an instance of an app whether or not you have one already open . On Mac, they’re ’app switchers’. They’ll launch an app, or switch to its running instance if there is one . I dare s

Right, and it’s not as if you’d own the wired line anyway. That’d be leased just the same way your Starlink connection would be.

Agree for music. Hard disagree for voice. Especially in the car! I can’t make out voices on FM at all. But AM, easy.

Right, but when we’ve literally invented a superintelligence that we’re worried will eliminate the race, a) we’ve done that, which is cool. Now let’s figure out how to control it. b) you can’t get your gmail for a bit while we reboot the DC

I wonder how many people panicking about these things have ever visited a data centre. They have big red buttons at the end of every pod. Shuts everything down. They have bigger red buttons at the end of every power unit. Shuts everything d

Ah I think this is bullshit to be honest. I’ve worked for dozens of organisations in my career. Large and small, competent and not. Usually not. In that time did I make some ‘ethically correct’ choice to leave an enormous organisation becau

We just had dinner in our favourite Vietnamese restaurant. It’s closing tomorrow. The rent got too high and the lady who runs it wasn’t taking a wage. It was busy every day. It’s a favourite lunch spot, their bahn mi is the best in town. So

I’ve done this with a new and thus terribly sharp knife. I’d bought it for my mate, so when I knocked it off the bench my reaction was oh no! damage! catch! The kitchen looked like a scene from Kill Bill. Perfect blood spray in an arc acr

I had a vaguely similar (but way less threatening) situation years ago. Fortunately Brandy alerted me to Mike’s awareness and anger, and gave me his number. I blocked it immediately. So he might have texted me a bunch of angry stuff. I’ve

OP for this bit of thread here; can confirm that as an Aussie who recently visited Malaysia, getting cash on to Grab was a proper pain in the ass. Had I been able to transfer Eth, which I didn’t see as an option last August, I would have be

Yeah that’s about the same here. I can’t, for example, shoot that street scene and then pull your face out and use it as the hero image on my poster for the new aftershave.

by jen729w 2y ago
I’m curious, if you shoot a street scene in Germany is that the case? That you’d have to get everyone’s permission? That seems ... impractical. It’s a common misconception here in Australia. You can film in public. I’ve had the public come

So, Supertone Shift creators: this is really good! The first time you hear your own voice as a K-pop star or a nymph it’s genuinely startling. Just improve the installer so I don’t feel like I’ve been scammed by malware!
