Finished my first level 5 today! I like the format of having this as a daily puzzle. If I went back through the archives I'd probably burn out on it pretty quick. Once again, nice work and thanks for sharing.

These are really fun, thanks for posting this. Only weirdness I've seen is that I got a red bar for selecting a correct answer on one question because I had not yet selected the correct answer for the question it was about, which thre

I've been doing this since Jan 1, sometimes called OMAD for One Meal A Day. I had already been skipping breakfast, so lunch is now a cup of tea or diet soda. Maybe it's just the excitement of a new diet plan, but it's help

Same... can't read anything if I can hear someone talking, even if I don't want to listen to them. Music and noise-cancelling headphones make it all better. I can't understand anything if more than one person is talking at

I just finished a 4-part video series on designing and building a custom 4x4 keyboard - no prior knowledge needed other than basic soldering skills. It goes through the details of designing the PCB in KiCad, getting it fabricated (and even

This is exactly what I do. I believe you have to click "set up for work or school" first before you get the domain join option, but it works fine for creating a local administrator account.

I did this unintentionally in college once by switching the keyboard layout to Dvorak, which for some reason persisted across logins. I came back later that day to the same lab and the station I had been using was marked "Out of Order

I had to re-learn the B and the 6 when I moved to a split keyboard, but it was totally worth it. Just plan to spend some time in typing drills/tests and you'll get the hang of it soon enough. It really is amazing what you can ad
