   For some reason (about 6 months ago) I started receiving about 100-150 spam emails a day on my iCloud account. Nearly all gets correctly classified and moved to the spam folder. But now I have to scan through 100s of emails to check for fal

   What is people’s experience with Tesla’s voice recognition system? I’ve previously used it to activate the windshield wipers, which worked. But recently I tried to get it to play music and various other things, none of which it was able to

   Yes, I’m also not their target customer for all those add on features that I don’t want… I would be using a different service if there was one with similar or better syncing capabilities that works as well as Dropbox…

   Totally agree… I wish I could buy Dropbox’s minimal feature set: syncing files. And that they’d improve that feature rather than adding features I don’t use or want.

   I try to not use the touchscreen while driving, but if I need to I will ensure to enable adaptive cruise control or FSD. Not perfect but helps. But we should have buttons for the most important functions at least. In terms of removing the s

   I’m still using it, but to me their service has become worse over time as more and more features were tacked on that I don’t want or need… and they are really not listening to their users who want a better experience instead of more junk. I

   I don’t think users really want to have to use 5 different app stores. I’ll probably opt to not buy an app if I first have to download another App Store app.

   I think openai understood that they could learn more from seeing how people interact with their bot. That’s also motivation for research.

   Not all usb condoms show the connections. I got one from a well-known vendor at a conference. Seems like an easier attack vector to create and sell malware infested usb condoms…

    Maybe a better attack would be to create and sell a usb condom with malware built in.

    Maybe military service could help some of these folks out of their unfortunate situation, given a longer training period and proper support.

    I thought they shut it down for a while after an incident like you describe.

    Hmm. Seems a bit harsh and premature… maybe I missed some news that would warrant such a reaction.

    Same experience with that book; I started listening to the audiobook, but never finished it. Maybe someday.

    Agree with this. Once a self-help author publishes the second or third book, it’s time to consider what more can they offer. Didn’t their first book solve everything? Or are they just doing it for the money.

    I only read the blog summarizing the interviews, but I’m horrified that she can talk this much bs with such apparent confidence. I don’t know who she is and how she got to have this role, which she does not appear qualified to hold.

    This advice is not only important for the visuals. Ignoring this advice also results in weird pauses for people that use screen readers.

    Any recommendations for an alternative bank (currently with Wells Fargo)? Online-only is fine/preferred. My main use is for bill pay and debit card.

    I wonder if some of the more scarce materials needed for EVs will turn out to be like the peak oil concern in the 80s… once a material becomes important enough human ingenuity seems to find ways.

    I usually pronounce it as “try”, as I think I’ve heard others do the same, but I’m non-native English speaker so don’t take my word for it ;-)

    Thanks for this tip about the plugin; I went looking and there is also an extension for vscode: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vivaxy.v... Haven't tried it but I will.

    Sure. But it is sometimes hard to debug… (even to identify this as the culprit). For example, for a while one of the vscode plugins that I use just stopped working and it took quite a while for me to figure out why it had stopped working. T

    I don’t think so, unless you are able to create a symlink from the Library/CloudStorage folder to an external drive. I suspect there are some limitations related to this. But I haven’t tried this specific case. But on advice from Dropb

    I’m sooo annoyed with our Dropbox for education account, insisting to name the folder as ‘Dropbox (UniName)’? (I think this also applies to enterprise accounts…) This is a Dropbox problem as my org can only influence the name inside the par
