Ugh, you just reminded me of just how sad I was when I logged into Steam over the weekend for the first time in a while and discovered how many games I lost to Catalina. I have 118 games in my library, 17 of which are Windows-only. Only 25

SmugMug seems to be hosted on AWS (based on doing a DNS lookup and seeing who owns that IP). I wouldn't be surprised if moving it all to AWS was the path of least resistance to an engineering team that understands AWS more than managin

Is there a way for the average consumer to measure the sound level output of their earbuds? There's got to be a better way than just seeing if that volume setting causes discomfort; I'm sure I'm already acclimated to higher v

Metal actually can be used in a microwave safely. For example, sheet pans with rounded edges and metal bowls are quite safe, as long as you have a decent amount of something in those containers to absorb any energy that the metal reflects.

Where I live in SF, it's pretty hard to avoid the hills if I want to ride back to my apartment from downtown, even if I ride the Wiggle. Unless I take a rather circuitous route, there just isn't a way to get around having to go up

Also, I think it's generally not a good sign if you, as an individual investor, are able to get in at the offering price; it generally means that the big institutions didn't really want in on those shares, which wouldn't inst
