I guess the snark is funny, so I'll bite. I've used Safari daily for … must be 20 years now? Every day, for everything, minus the odd exceptionally rare circumstance. And I couldn't tell you what the last one of those was,

I also find the 1Password browser (Safari) extension to pitifully poor. But there's a neat workaround: set up a hotkey for 'Show Quick Access'. I use Ctrl+Opt+\. This pops up 1Password's overlay but it is still URL-awar

It really helps where the code I'm writing fits the broad description of boilerplate . Need to integrate Stripe with the Clerk API in my Astro project? Claude's all over that. 300% faster. I think of it like, if there was a packa

I don't have one, but nor do I have a car. So the secret is: walk everywhere. Walk walk walk. That keeps me 'fit'. I'm 49 and perfectly healthy, good weight, 120/80 bp. I know I need to do more strength training but

The problem isn't the generation, it's the taste of the generators. An earnest young lady with a guitar can already sing a light jazz version of 'Highway to Hell' or whatever. Just go to your local cafe to hear it. The o

Yeah but previous attack vector: - Fraudster has to bribe hotel staff, or get on staff and then work there and steal documents. Tricky. New attack vector: - Fraudster rents out Airbnb. Trivial.

Yes. My partner got one in Morioka about 6 weeks ago. Edit: very, very quickly after the quake, which we felt, I might add. I got a notification via the 'Safety tips' app long after. I think I was on Airplane mode at the time.

How hard could it be — genuine question — for, say, Apple (Nikon, Sony,…) to embed a QR code (optionally) into an image. QR leads you to a page, you upload image to page, hashes are compared, image-from-sensor confirmed. Surely at this poin

But was this in the late 90s/early 00s? I mean … it was kinda different then, no? I - 49 - also had boomer parents who didn't monitor my internet back then. I really don't think it can be compared to today.

Meanwhile have you used the latest Excel for Mac? 1. Open a sheet. Type anything. 2. Hide Excel (Cmd+H). 3. Bring Excel forth. 4. Stare at a blank screen where your grid should be for anywhere from 0.5 to 3 seconds.

Honestly, all we need is a decent hotel recommendation. LP does the job. We guide ourselves around; that's not the sort of advice we're after. I didn't know this about LP though, and hadn't heard of Bradt. Next time that

Well yeah but this was a hypothetical about which one you’d actually use . Far better to pick a horse when it comes to earning loyalty status.
