Modern Apple has shown very little interest in making their devices sharable or flexible in this way. If a new feature would make it less likely for you to buy and use multiple devices they probably won't implement it.

Such a simple feature would have saved me a lot of turmoil over the years. I've been bitched out by friends, family and co-workers over forgotten texts many times. Lack of mark-as-unread really screwed up my ability to communicate with

As a society we had a much higher tolerance for risk when the electrical grid was being built. We were perfectly fine with the idea some people would die building it and some people would get electrocuted using it. The world we live in now

Most animals are smarter than we give them credit for. What they are lacking in is intellect and the ability to understand events that occur over longer periods or time. For example a cat isn't planning its meals for next week but it&#

I've had many cats over the years. They absolutely do understand reflections. I've watched them learning it in real time. Kittens will often try to get behind the mirror, play with the reflection, etc and over time most of them le

I've been saying this for a while but I think we're about to see a ton of tech jobs disappear or see dramatically lower wages. With modern DevOps practices, managed services, etc I just don't see how a lot of these job roles

I've always had a very high tolerance for alcohol. At some point I just got sick of drinking because I had to drink so much to catch a buzz. On a practical level that meant every time I wanted to go out and drink I would probably hav

Back when I was doing network engineering I used make to localize configs from boilerplate code templates. Not a common use for it or maybe even the best tool for the job but because I already knew Makefiles it was an easy solution for me t

I felt really fancy about a decade ago learning python and adopting it for even the most trivial tasks. Then I realized at least half the stuff I wrote doesn't even run now without modification. Meanwhile bash scripts I wrote that pred

It's probably been 5 years now since I willingly watched a movie. I've been dragged to a few not by preference which I was bored to death by. I don't want to be a Debbie downer or come off as a snob so I try to make reasonabl

I would argue stuff like electric adjustable mirrors, seats, good AC, parking sensors, rear view cameras, even automatic transmissions are essential safety features these days. If you put a modern person in a car lacking modern features the

It's way more common to see people using multiple workstation instead. Usually a Windows/Mac laptop for everyday computing tasks in conjunction with a dedicated workstation for development.

As a Mac user since 2004 I recently found myself seriously considering other options. Mainly due to the huge regression in UI/UX over the last 2-3 years. Most first party apps have become less functional and harder to use. I'm str

That reminds me of working with my Dad as a kid who's senses were pretty much shot from years of working on heavy mechanical equipment. He asked me to do smell/listening tests when he fired up one of his repair projects.

I can relate to this because it's one of the reasons I originally downloaded all 14 floppy disk images required to install Slackware. I've always been a big 'just read the god damn manual' type of guy and I immediately r

One thing I really like about Ocean State Job Lot is they have a couple isles of really cheap fun timeless kids toys that I remember playing with as a kid. I think for a lot of lower income families it's probably one of the only times

Sounds like a good idea in theory but in many places in the US when you get off the highway you get a major drop off in the quality of roads and availability of food/gas. If you really care about reducing your CO2 the best option is si

Outrage is one part of the problem but it's the lack of shame and guilt that allows it to flourish. People are too insulated from feeling shameful about their own behavior these days. Everyone's got a quick excuse to justify their

Running a dual stack IPv4/IPv6 network at minimum doubles the amount of work network engineers need to do on a daily basis. Consider something as simple as a ping monitor to determine if a device is up or down now has to test for both
