Interesting; I just discovered and used this tool a month ago. For years I've been wanting to migrate my few hundred remaining MP3 files from iTunes/Music to just store them on the file system but iTunes DB stores play count and s

I often use them to get around bad UI/UX (like using Reduce Motion), or to make devices more useful (Color Filters (red) for using at night). Even outside of this, even able-bodied folks can be disabled due to illness, surgery, injury,

I went through this exact rabbit hole in 2021 looking to out about USB enclosure CPU usage. As jsheard mentioned, you're looking for UASP. UASP has been around for a decade or more and even the cheapest USB enclosures should support it

I considered investing a small amount in them when they were raising a round from customers since I loved the search product so much. I too can't imagine going back to anything else, especially now that I have prioritized and blocked d

I was looking into getting a virtual accountant to log into my few accounts, download CSVs, import and reconcile. But like you said, the most annoying thing about this is logging in, waiting for dumb SMS-based 2FA, selecting date range, log

Kagi (the search engine) has Small Web※, which (I assume) shows only results from the long tail and excludes popular sites (they use TinyGem search index for this). ※ https://blog.kagi.com/small-web

I have been using Pelican with a modified new.css theme. Recently migrated from hosting on a DO instance with Nginx to Github Pages. What I'd love to do is totally remove the SSG from this pipeline and replace it with a WYSIWYG editor

I actually used this when it first came out in 2016; it was developed by a DevOps person at DigitalOcean as a hobby project (IIRC). My use at work was just a subset of features (IP and hostname), but I ended up using its Postgres DB as a so

It wasn't until I discovered Anki a few years ago that I finally was able to remember my parents' and sisters' birthdays (despite calendar reminders every year). Why remember something that can be looked up? Latency; it'

I replaced a 16GB Intel MacBook Pro with an 8GB refurb M1 Air and regretted it within weeks. (Due to the initial claims about M1 using less memory and that the M1 destroyed my Intel's Javascript performance.) Turns out that my 8GB mach

From my understanding, the Bolt corrected the issue (which made it even worse for my Spark since there was no desire to fix the chargers to work around the issue).

I had a Spark EV with CCS connector and charged around the Bay Area many times. Apparently my model of car had design issues with the connector and half the time I'd have to try a different charging station. I mostly charged at home bu

So I solved this issue using a brute force manner a few years ago using aText (but any text substitution software should work, including Keyboard Maestro). When I type the characters 'zv' it substitutes for the clipboard. This get

+1 for the 2400c. Picked one up when I moved to SF in early 2020 and restored it (SSD + more RAM). The one complaint is that the keyboard (both US and Japanese) is just a tad small for comfort. The Wallstreet/Pismo keyboards were much

I haven't bought a new iPhone since the 5. I typically would wait a year and buy a used year-old model for half price (with AppleCare). But I didn't do this after the XS, and now with Pro and non-Pro models it's incredibly co

+1 for Cloudfree. I don't know much about IoT but I bought 5 of their plugs and they literally took under a minute to get set up and running. Another few minutes to get data off of them and into Influx Cloud using Python. I wish more m

I loved my Spark EV with its measly 135km range, which was perfect for SF city driving and going around the Bay Area. BYD Seagull has 305km range (30kWh instead of 16kWh) and the dimensions are with cm of the Spark EV. I'd insta-buy th

More specific in my case: are there any APs that would be good replacements for Unifi AP AC models or above? Looking to replace my unifi setup with something simpler (don’t need to provision APs centrally as I just have one, but want the ro

Similar, last time I was looking (2020) I posted in both and had good responses from quality companies. Basically any HN thread has yielded vastly better opportunities than anywhere else (direct apply, linkedin, etc).

When I first saw the headline I assumed they made an iOS version and worked with Apple to do it. I would’ve insta-bought! Unfortunately just an easier to use Mac version. iOS really needs this functionality.

Posting a reply since there is validity to the terse comment. I clicked out of curiosity and my trypophobia was definitely triggered. Probably due to the numerous “holes” around the edges of the sloth. Those who don’t have trypophobia under

I’m actually the opposite but thought I’d reply to your comment since they’re opposing ends of needs. I have a Spark EV that did 130 miles new, now ~100 highway miles after 6 years. The warranty on the battery lasts another two years and th
