This boggles my mind for a different reason. I can't understand why would they design the lock to be so shitty. They're saving probably a miniscule amount of money required to upgrade the lock's design to "barely decent&

Yeah, and that whole Spotify HiFi fiasco? Announce and not deliver? I put off buying good headphones waiting for those assholes. Year end came, cancelled my subscription out of spite, went for Tidal and bought the headphones. As soon as Qub

It looks interesting. However, there are a couple of issues here. - The page is missing even a vague privacy policy. I get it that that might not be a priority when you're just working on the MVP but, IMHO, you should put at least a co

I recall old Thinkpads had a little lamp at the top of the screen as an early keyboard light. I guess we've come full circle and that ancient lighting technology will make a come back ;)

And they're cheap. When I started messing around with smart home stuff the IKEA TRADFRI line bulbs were around $10-15 while Philips's Hue was at about $50. I agree, they work good, but one thing I love most about them is that, if

Yeah. On the flip side I've traveled to Warsaw some time ago on the Pendolino (?) train. I splurged on a first class ticket (~$35) and it was real nice. No "film", separate seats, great service, clean, real fast. Of course, t

Yeah, around that time I was still in college and used trains a lot. I remember we had a running joke about everything inside the trains we traveled in had some sort of sticky, yucky film. When you grabbed something and then let go you coul

Huh. I've checked by purchase history on the Play Store and there's a 2016 May charge for SwiftScan Plus, no active subscriptions. I've got the iOS version on the iPad, fully unlocked, also no subscriptions. I guess they elim

I'm on Android, sorry. SwiftScan has a one time payment option AFAIK, that's the one I used.

Oh, I did. It looked real nice but I'm not there yet. Sticking to Sublime Text for the time being but if I were to switch to something right now, I'd be Obsidian.

I've switched to SwiftScan with automatic upload to Dropbox. It does decent-ish OCR on documents so that you more or less can select text in scanned PDFs. I rarely search inside scanned docs, most of the search is by filename which I m

It's nice but it's slow. Would love to have a solution that combined Notion's capabilities with Sublime Text's speed and maybe JetBrains's ability to work with keyboard shortcuts.

As much as I'd like to like this I don't think this will be effective. My undestanding is that 1) this seems easy enough to fingerprint and filter out 2) routing that kind of traffic at BGP will yield no strain on russia's ne

For me Windows is starting to resemble consumer routers. I mean, some serious resources and engineering talent had to have been spent on the internals, the kernel, networking, drivers. But the thing that the users, the people paying and usi

I tried to love mechanical keyboards, I really did. I think I romanticized it too much. Maybe it was a form of procrastination ("I'm sure I'll finally stop slacking off when I have the right keyboard!"). In the end howev

I think that it's all relative (of course! ;) and you have to tailor the processes to what you're trying to achieve (duh!). However, in my humble opinion, the most important thing about processes is to always, _always_ remember _w

I don't think that having two different count()s with different edge-case behavior is the way it should've been improved. If someone used the method incorrectly in the past it's part their fault for writing it incorrectly and

This is odd. When "migrating" from G-Suite to Workspaces a couple of days ago I got the option to continue as not-a-company. I migrated a company account but still have a personal account with a domain to migrate. I'm sensing

Yeah, I remember that. I think I still have a framed, very old cover of Wprost with Roman Kluska (the owner of Optimus) after we won a pyrrhic victory against the state for that, years after the fact. Of course, none of the bureaucrats resp

I think what you're describing is called Ironic Process Theory [1]. I do agree that wrestling with your thoughts is counterproductive. I think that it's much more effective to try to view them dispassionately, to analyze them to d

I've used DeFi and haven't been scammed. Fees being what they are now aside, I liked the experience. As not being scammed goes, I just avoided everything that was super new (like a project 3 days old that already has $3b in TVL),

Still, hope for the best, plan for the worst. You guys got any ideas how to protect your assets (no matter how little), how everything will move on the markets if the shit hits the fan? I mean, sure, we can argue will they, won't they.

Do you mean the range? If that's the case then I agree, I don't know what they were thinking. If not then I guess it's a lot different from the 2019 Mazda 6 I own. It's been great. Not what the parent is looking for prob
