I feel the same way about TV. I miss the ability to quickly flip through channels. When I was younger and my family had our first internet connection my dad said "One day internet webpages will load like changing channels on the TV - c

Clever but a clear sign that we have no protections on the books for anything like this. That someone needs to resort to clever liquor license dispute adds to the dystopian feel of this story.

I am amused that, once upon a time, it was a not uncommon joke that an inept user might sit at their computer and type into a search bar "Please take me to my email" or ask their search engine "I would like a recipe for cooki

Not sure if they meant Monkeypox? There was a story in Aug about a substantial stock (20 million doses) of monkeypox vaccine that expired. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/01/nyregion/monkeypox-vaccin...

I picked this up from Excel as it defaults to adding the 0 in "general" formatting. Without a decimal it will strip leading zeros by default, a setting that has caused me hours of frustration over the years.

Can I swipe left/right through content on Apollo? The reddit app used to but they are pushing everything into the new media player (including photos) and it takes you into algorithm content hell. Not even restricted to your subs.. jus

Same. I can't get my units to move the same way the "dumb-bot" is able to move their units. Mine seem to make a distance based link to chain energy back to my base? I love RTS's and will come back after some days?week

I started to eliminate notifications from my life when a sound enabled banner notification from a keyboard I had installed on my android phone wanted me to know about all the great features of the keyboard app going from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 (or

Just speculating, I have never done anything like this. I bet you could pull this off with a container (Like a clean IBC tote) and a well water pump. Have the drain go back to the tote. Setup a sink off of the well water line. It will ke

I have it in my head that playing fast and loose with the law is just how things are done. I think the problem here is Internet Archive is not making heaps of money for shareholders and (arguably) causing these publishes to lose money. An

I would abandon that app pretty quick. Previously available features that get locked behind a sub later on is infuriating. Like LastPass locking desktop and mobile use behind a subscription. Tangentially related - This app, merlin, has a bi

"driving players into their games" I don't know anyone that plays a game because of the ads that are in it. I must be misunderstanding what they are saying?

We have configured our lakes to flow into a data deltas, data gulfs or sometimes directly into a data ocean as we see fit. We solidify our known good historic data into immutable data icebergs. We distill the data ocean into data vapor, all

My friends like FPS but I am terrible at them. I love RTS and they can't be bothered to learn them. Would be great if we had a game to bridge that gap. 1) Asymmetric RTS / FPS. A group of FPS players play through a map against a

To compost my vegi cuttings and yard clippings is to allow critters to eat it and leave behind their waste. Compost of organic matter is not magic. By the same reasoning if critters evolve to eat plastic then the plastic becomes compostable

In the world of wild imagination - I wonder if we will, at some point in the distant future, have an ethical obligation to continue producing plastic to stop some species of animals from going extinct. Or will it be an arms race where we ha
