I'm still looking for such a solution that works well on mobile. Spideroak's iOS app is very rudimentary compared to Dropbox. Cryptomator is headed in the right direction (and open source!), but they have not yet implemented iOS

It's too bad they didn't adequately consider the privacy backlash in the first place, but at least Microsoft is taking some steps in the right direction. https://www.theverge.com/2017/4/5/15188636&#x

Totally agree re: Netflix recommendations. I rarely ever review/rate, but Netflix should still be able to easily figure out what I like based on the genres I watch most and shows that I've watched more than a few episodes of. In

Quality is actually a great illustration of your original point, though. Apple recently went to great lengths to redesign the MacBook keyboard for no good reason. As if compromising the key feel for many (most?) users just to shave a millim

Newsblur (a web-based RSS reader) added a newsletter feature a while back that's pretty useful if you want to mix RSS & newsletters in the same place. Set up an email rule to automatically forward your newsletters to a custom addre

Which is one of the reasons why they're going to be kicking all of the buses out of the tunnel as soon as 2019. Good for light rail, but I don't see how 3rd Ave won't become total chaos.

Not the OP, but I try it every year or so and always give up after a few weeks. I've been using DDG again for about a week or so, and the results are still about as bad as I remember. It's fine for really common searches such as f

Resilio Sync is peer-to-peer, so if you believe their marketing copy, you're not handing your data over to anyone -- it only syncs between your authorized devices. Since Sync is proprietary software, it's a valid concern that Resi

This reminds me of Pathway, a Mac app circa 2006 that visualized your Wikipedia browsing as a mind map. http://lifehacker.com/203915/download-of-the-day-pathway-mac

As I understand it, it's mostly an attempt to pave the way for an eventual statewide income tax. I'm all for that -- our regressive tax structure is terrible -- but I would've preferred that this measure serve as an offset to

I'd also prefer a stricter definition of "literally", but here we are and there's little chance we can turn back the clock. According to Merriam-Webster, most dictionaries, including the OED, recognize the "metaphor

Interesting -- I didn't know that enormity originally meant something very large _and_ bad or morally wrong -- but the GP's meaning is generally accepted today.

I agree that buses a terrible solution, but are definitely better than no public transit at all. Sadly, Seattle is almost entirely dependent on buses for public transit, although things are getting slightly better here with recent investmen

I used Pronto in Seattle some and I think it was just once that I found no helmets in the bin. Either theft wasn't as big of a deal as you might expect, or they had to spend a lot of money replacing helmets all the time. I'm sure

Right -- it's cables that do not comply with the USB-C spec that can cause damage. It's not as if plugging a Thunderbolt 3 device into a laptop that doesn't support Thunderbolt will damage the laptop. It just won't work.

Beats Music -> Apple Music Apple does care about its service business revenues, and I think they felt they needed to compete with Spotify, etc. instead of letting others slowly erode iTunes' share. This isn't about lock-in to i

I doubt it's about price gouging -- Apple makes most of its money selling phones, tablets, and computers, not adapters and accessories. Sure, you could argue that they're trying to lock their customers in by getting them to invest

I'm still hopeful this will be the case -- that all this multi-device cloud syncing nonsense today is just a fad and we'll all be carrying around phones with terrabytes of storage and desktop grade performance. Not holding my brea

I'd personally settle for an in-ear[1] version of AirPods. I'm not sold on noise cancelling, but I do need something to keep the music in and background noise out, and rubber-tipped in-ears do that quite well. Honestly, I'm c

In my experience, Craigslist's email alerts are terrible, for a few reasons: 1. Craigslist combines listings that come in at once into a single email. That's fine, but they truncate the results (... SNIP...) if a lot of listings c

This feature already exists on the USB-C MacBook charger. I'm sure it'll be years before the whole line is updated, but I don't see they wouldn't. USB-C can carry up to 100 watts -- the biggest MacBook Pro MagSafe adapte

This is a very good point, but I have a counterpoint: I suffered through a year with the 6 before downgrading to the 5S last month. My only regret? Waiting so long to ditch the 6.

Here in Seattle, quite a few water fountains in public parks have a 2nd fountain at ground level for pets. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that all dog owners will be courteous enough to use them, but at least it's a start. In re
