Plex, that's a good idea. I tried it on my QNAP NAS and the connector is too old to be useful (couldn't get https to work reliably and opening a port to the outside world just wouldn't work). What are you streaming from?

I'm still banging away on my original one from the mid 90's (PS/2 adaptor and all!) and it's still going strong. The ESC has all but worn off the rubber F key strip but other than that it's in fine shape. I understa

Are you spamming your company? There's no article at the end of this.

I really like Joey on mobile (Pixel here, not sure about iOS). No pings and is completely silent until I feel the need for wasting some time. It's shareware so please think about contributing if you agree.

My minor gripe with it is that you can't drag and drop URLs or any other text. Other than that it's a joy to use.

Great for the last mile. Thinking more of storage and server management.

Over the past few weeks I've been using both, Brave is a little more polished and the built in blockers are great. However, they've been caught a couple of times doing naughty things: https://decrypt.co/31522/

Drives my anti off-center homonculous up the wall to have the numpad pushing me over to the left (I know, I know). Would pay extra/same for a tenkeyless version.

Loved that thing! Batteries lasted forever and the LCD was perfect for the job of being focused. My hands are almost too big to touch type on it so notes often needed editing when transferred to a desktop. Typing on it is kind of like writi

I bought one of these new when they came out and it was life changing. The BASIC was surprisingly good and I got almost as much out of the spreadsheet as I did the word processor. One area that was a disappointment is really doesn't

Not OK with any of that crap which is why Firefox + uMatrix is the daily driver.

Nice work, Jeff. The chapter on eggs was literally a life changer. Or a breakfast changer for sure.

That's very interesting. Do you tent it as it rests?

I'm a big fan of Trello for life organisation and one of the best bits is being able to view and add on my phone. Obviously vim isn't particularly mobile friendly. Any ideas on how to view/edit from afar?

Anybody got any day-to-day practical stories of how this Linux layer generally is? I have the top tier Pixelbook bought on the promise of integrated Linux on secure hardware. In reality it's crap, no FUSE, some GUI programs simply don&

Access is still around, still hanging on by one finger in some orgs (search your favorite news aggregator for whimsical stories). So there may be an opportunity for somebody with decent knowledge of the Access pitfalls to offer a service ge

How very droll. Most of your COBOL gigs are with insurance companies, local.gov, and banks. OP's dad is going to have a hard time even getting an interview with outfits like that.

Yes, this is a concern as as I'm testing it as a daily driver there are quite a few public networks it won't work with. For non technical end users it's a show stopper. Without TCP/IP you're back to running dual wg

From one old git with failing eyesight to another, think about talking to your optician and investigating a pair of glasses optimised for the shorter distance. Life changing move if you spend any decent amount of time in front of a monitor.

So many awesome answers here. I've been through a similar route and have gone on to do a bunch of roles that had tech at their core but were not coding (so think marketing for SaaS, etc.). I still code, I still keep up, but I get to do

I can't tell you how much I would love a Linux laptop, so much has been solved around power consumption and battery life, wifi stability, and so on. The one show stopper continues to be spotty HiDPI support for essential apps like The
