You've got a shot at building a new Sparrow here. This looks really nice. Unsure that every email message needs a tab on the top, too—I think you could almost just rely on the left sidebar and treating the emails there as tabs. That,

My first computer was a hand-me-down Compaq LTE laptop, several times removed from the original owner, with a 700MB hard drive and Windows 95 a decade after those were leading-edge specs. It had only Word and Access, of all things, and litt

Tudor says they'll pay around a third to a half for something pretty close made by the same parent company but with a different movement and branding.

I have a longstanding suspicion that paying for internet service makes people feel like they've paid for everything on the web, and thus expect it to not cost more after that initial fee. That the companies who provide software and con

Agreed. I've used the em dash for well over a decade and love it, but am having to train myself to not use it simply to not appear as though my text is written by AI. At least avoiding the "it's not just that X, it's Y&q

And herein lies the rub: It's been like this in many countries for the longest time. In Thailand, say, you receive an order from abroad, the post office sends you a slip and you have to pay the assessed duties to receive the package. I

Curious if anyone here is using Luna Display full-time to turn an Intel iMac into a monitor for a MacBook or Mac Mini. How has it worked for you? Less arduous than gutting an iMac to turn it into a standalone monitor but seems highly likely

No, absolutely, just the concentration in Asia generally and Thailand/Japan specifically makes it a far bigger deal. That was a bad example to include versus Toys R Us.

Fun fact: The Asian arm of Toys 'R' Us never shut down, and while it's far from the most popular retailer (and, IMHO, broadly overpriced), it's maintained a retail presence in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and more. The

Sad that a keyboard even needs to say that it's "privacy-conscious." What a world we've built, where one might reasonably worry that their keyboard _isn't_ private.
