Well also, my site is built with Gatsby and comes in at <1MB (just) but I bet if you told people it was Gatsby you’d get the stink-eye. “Ugh, dirty framework, what’s wrong with no-JS?” I mean never mind that my internal page links load i

While agreeing with your general principle, I think you're being unfair. Two hours a day, every day, is a lot of time. I barely watch television and still, if you asked me to find two more hours every day I'd tell you that you

Could be, but given that that was yesterday I won’t have noticed yet.

Don’t laugh: iCloud Drive. Honestly, it works. Never had a bit of trouble. I might not be a mega power user, but all my stuff is there and I just don’t think about it. I moved away from Dropbox about 2 years ago – because I got sick of the

A fine option, which I also endorse. In all seriousness, here’s what I do to combat Insidious Mailing List Spam. It’s kinda simple. 1. Get one email address for friends and family. Never ever post it online. Never use it for any shopping or

Cool idea I suppose, but for $5/month wouldn’t I just not sign up to those mailing lists in the first place? Or get another email address? This doesn’t feel very sustainable.

And this directly bites the NYT because, if anyone there is reading, I saw your excellent AU$1/week offer just yesterday, almost signed up, then thought, nah, I’ve heard that this is a pain in the ass to cancel. Yeah yeah they probably

The rage-part might have been a slight exaggeration. But why would I use a platform that doesn’t work ? The whole point of the damned place is to sell stuff, and recently – this wasn’t an isolated incident – I’ve found it to be markedly ba

Strong disagree. eBay has become a cesspool. I finally rage-closed my account after carefully listing a thing, monitoring the auction, being happy when it sold, and then having the buyer casually tell me that they didn’t need it after all.

I don’t think it’s ever been shown that Apple did this at all , let alone maliciously. If anyone has a source to the contrary, we need it here please. And I mean a documented source, not hearsay. Edit: there’s discussion below.

The problem is that someone creates a sheet, locks all the cells, forces a bunch of people to use it via some process, and then either a) never touches it again or b) leaves the organisation and doesn’t tell anyone the unlock password. Exam

Cables wear out. Chargers not so much.

Actually I’m annoyed now when a device comes with a charger. To the point where I say out loud, to myself, “oh for fu...”. Nobody needs any more chargers, and if you do, they’re a fiver. It’s a preposterous waste that needs to stop. ( Total

I have an AirPort Extreme he can have? It’s just in a box in the garage, I’ll ship it to you for nothing. Bit bigger than the Express obviously. Hmm I may even have a really old one of those, too.

But now you have other speakers, and a bunch of wires and power cords. One of the things I appreciate about the HomePod is its single power cord. Super neat (as in actually neat not ‘cool’).

A sign of getting old indeed: when the technology at stage `n` is surely good enough and you see no reason for `n+1`. ;-) You also set up a nice straw man there. Nobody’s saying that these things are “solving problems”. They’re just cool ne

> Which I had to revert to an unsafe 6 digit one from my 12char alphanumeric A 6 character alphanumeric is still way safer than a 6 character numeric. Just pick something you can type as quickly as you can punch in 6 numbers?

This is definitely subjective because I love Face ID and haven't missed Touch ID once since I got my iPhone 11. And I loved Touch ID. Note that I'm in a COVID-free part of Australia so I'm not affected by mask wearing.

I was gonna say it, but then you did. My non-tech partner 100% agrees. “Love it” is a term that I’ve heard. I do have a few (literally a few) custom shortcuts for weird things that it just couldn’t figure out, like playing specifically our

Tangential: I find using an actual (Mac) laptop, with the trackpad in front of the keyboard, to be very ergonomic. This is on a desk with a screen attached, so I’m not staring down at the laptop screen. Rather than the hand sweeping all t

Yeah I got the Ergodox and just couldn’t get used to it. I think the ortholinear was a big part of that. Especially painful as I’m in Australia. I think shipped it was about AU$500. Very not cheap indeed. I sold it on eBay and didn’t take t

Even just within my own sheet I always build in some sort of idiot-check, the assumption being that I’m the idiot. Do a SUM and match it against a COUNTIF on another column, or something. It doesn’t really matter what it is but if the dat
