I have always had way more issues with meet than zoom. Guessing it is something about browser compatibility but participants regularly have issues with mics and cameras that I don’t see with zoom.

We do we allow cars to be sold that can go over the speed limit by such extreme amount? It seems like we have the technology to have cars automatically limit their speeds to the speed limit of the street they are on.

That has happened to me literally once in over 40 years. Better off just have a back up camping stove so such a situation.

When we were looking for a rental recently we didn’t want gas and preferred places that had induction.

People shop for cars every five years? That is more like every 15 years in my family.

Sorry buy Reagan was pretty awful during most of his time in office cognitively and reportedly would just turn his hearing aid off during meetings he found boring and zone out. Biden is way more engaged than he was.

You do know that things like hearing aids exist right?

People already wear earbuds all day. Go to any college campus and tons of those kids never take them out, even when taking with each other. Lots of people at work keep them in most of the day. I am pretty sure I wear my AirPods Pro more tha

Why wouldn't the device just be your ear buds connected to your phone? I already use siri all the time as I usually have my AirPods in and it works great. That seems like a much more likely device to access our digital assistance than

I must be a Siri unicorn but for setting timers, calling people, messaging people, controlling my smart home, adding things to my shared shopping list, adding items to my 3rd party task manager, controlling my music. It works great!

I don't think that is retroactive, people bought it because it was different and looks cool and is quirky. I think it is a very fun device and has some great games for it. It isn't for everyone but it is a cool device for people t

I grew up in the Pacific NW, not far from where Le Guin lived, and this book is the clearest picture of the political philosophy of the area I have ever seen. They don't call it the People's Republic of Portland for nothing.

I use Amtrak on the west coast all the time and for my uses it is cheaper than driving while being roughly the same amount of time. I go between the Bay Area, Portland, and Seattle frequently and Amtrak is my first choice when planning my t

It might be my favorite book. I read it during the pandemic and started sending copies to friends as I loved it that much.

I feel like Omnifocus has good keyboard support, particularly enjoy quick entry support. Looks like Godspeed lack iOS and watch support which makes it a complete non-starter for me.

I know people that make not much more than median income and easily blown thousands a year on hunting trips. Think of how many people spend a ton of money on a truck that they only use for normal commuting. People easily spend thousands a y

I have used HomeKit for a VERY long time now and I can't remember the last time Siri had an issue controlling devices. It works 99% of the time and the 1% of the time it doesn't work is a rather specific part of the house where my

In theory, lab meat could have textures and tastes that are hard to cultivate with traditonal methods that consumers might want. Also it could have environment and health benefits that people find desirable. I saw a review of lab-grown salm

Idk, people spend absurd amounts of money on various hobbies and other pursuits that I bet a much larger % of the population can afford a Vision Pro than you might think. We don't really question when someone buys an ATV or boat that t

What I have always found strange about Siri is how radically different the experience appears to be for each person. I know plenty of people where it works great but then you have tons that say it is shit. I have never seen a good explanati

Google is superior, especially with knowledge questions but when it comes to things like sending text messages, controlling smart home devices, starting timers, setting reminders, Siri is almost flawless for me.

I have consistently found Siri works better than Alexa for what I use a voice assistant for. Google assistant beats them both though. At this point I feel like I rarely have any Siri issues and use it all the time so I am confused when peop

I'm very against burning gas in my home to heat things when we have options like heat pumps.

by mulderc 3y ago
Heat pumps are pretty incredible and I am always surprised we don’t see more of them. We recently installed a heat pump water heater and it made a noticeable dent in our electric bill. Next up is a heat pump dryer! Also surprised by the lac

It isn’t the best cold brew, but at $1.09 and being able to get it while waiting for my bus, it is hard to beat.

Throughout my career I have made the decision to take union jobs for less pay and it has paid off many time over by now. My retirement funding is solid, health insurance about as good as it gets for the US, student loans all paid off, worki

New shop opened up that has oddly cheap prices for cold brew. My 12oz nitro cold brew is now $1.09. I am told this is just the normal price and they have no plans to change it.
