It’s fashion. Don’t try to understand it. They release collabs all the time with streetwear brands. They’ve released watches with PAC Man, stranger things, haribo gummies, Toyota, Honda, etc. Chunky digital watches aren’t my thing either b

That’s hardly a relevant scenario for any office worker who is issued a laptop, phone, desk and badge. The equipment is worth thousands of dollars and the company has a fiduciary responsibility to track their assets. Of course they are goin

Do people honestly believe their current employers aren’t monitoring them right now? Every employment contract I’ve signed has included language that makes it clear that whatever I do on corporate time, on the corporate net, on corporate de

I’m sorry but that’s just dumb. An LLM is a tool. Your brain is not a substitute for an LLM in the same way your fingers are not a substitute for a wrench. The year is 2026 and if you are using your brain on chore work like one-off scripts,

Kobo also integrates with public libraries via Overdrive It’s amazing to check out a book from your library and have it sync to your kobo, all paid for with your library card You literally would have to pay me to go back to a Kindle

I’m having a hard time coming up with a better way. Simply banning all manufacturing and import is not going to work when it’s heavily addictive. In the case of alcohol, quitting cold can kill you. Banning it today and expecting people to c

Siri first needs to fulfill the promise from the Apple Intelligence keynote. In this context, the small beans are things like setting timers and playing music reliably. AI was pitched as a true assistant who understood your whole digital li

Your points are why Apple isn’t entering that market. Mounts, cases, smart locks, thermostats, bulbs…where is the “iPhone moment” for this sector? It’s all small beans now. Why would Apple want to compete here? Personally I think any big mo

Backup to NAS is a much better solution for a SMB My experience with tape is very out of date but I doubt much has changed due to the nature of tape Tape software sucks. Tape restores are cumbersome. A SMB can literally but a multi TB HDD a

I worked in a university computer lab in the late 90s and these drives were very popular. Burning a CD was not a similar solution. People needed primary portable storage and Zip drives were amazing solutions before USB drives. The school ga

All software has bugs. What this tells me is that the actors with the best models (and Anthropic apparently has one so good and expensive it is outstripping compute supply) they will find the exploits first and probably the ones that are ha

Yeah Block level dedupe has been an industry standard for decades. Tracking file hashes? Why? And I see above that this is a self-hosted platform and I still don’t get it. I was running terabytes of ZFS with dedupe=on on cheap supermicro ge

Also, you can be automatically registered for the draft, but automatically registering people to vote is a culture war issue.

This was a big issue back in the DVDCSS days. The DMCA explicitly forbids bypassing protective measures. Doesn’t matter who owns the media, the copyright holder owns the content. 17 U.S.C. § 1201(a)(1)(A) Which was the beginning of the end

The survey didn’t ask anything. It shows two products and “which one would you prefer” I stand by my interpretation. Who is going to prefer the OG iPhone to the refined and improved version? Nobody that I knew at the time.

These subjective evals are why community reviews are garbage. Personally I think the 3GS is a better product. I know a few folk who returned their original iPhone because the headphone jack didn’t allow their headphones to connect, and ther

I see this as an extension of the Netflix model: content for people who aren’t actually watching the movie Why spend the effort making a show for people on their phones? Will they even notice if it’s slop?

Many things are only in demand because they are free. And if nobody is willing to pay for it, it hardly matters how low you bring down cost, because it’s always a net negative. Just look at the general state of the internet over the past tw

That’s certainly not a universal take in leadership. Disagree and commit is the manager’s take. Ok let’s hear it, but once the decision is made (by me) it’s time to STFU and just do it. The disagree part often is just a way to manage your t

I’ve read that many contracts involved the label fronting a ton of money to the band to produce and promote the album. Which meant the band needed to tour to generate the revenue and exposure to pay all that money back. Shirts and posters c

No, for many, wearing band shirts or adopting a specific style is signaling. The Ramones were middle class kids, who started a band in high school when they were outcasts. They literally crafted new identities, writing tough lyrics and posi

Agreed. I have held similar opinions of leadership at many of my jobs. If you are so burned out that you can’t help but vent publicly, it’s time to go. It’s just not healthy for you. But of course leadership is going to take care of that fo
