Had a similar issue with a RAM 1500 - even if you have the source set to aux or BT, it defaults when turned on to FM radio. Always at full blast too and takes a couple of seconds to respond before you can switch source.

If I'm not wrong, I believe Apple in the late 80s and 90s manufactured in the US, and again in the 2010s with the Mac Pro. I remember reading somewhere that they lost a ton of money because of it.

I setup a Windows 98 SE VM back in 2020 that I spin up every couple of weeks to play games from my childhood. It's almost like a nostalgia shrine for me. It makes me feel cozy inside when I hear the startup sound or listening to AoE:Ro

I'm pretty excited about FCP and subscription model. I pay for Adobe CC and for videos, FCP always felt out of reach (couldn't justify spending $299) for me to tinker with and move past using iMovie for quick family edits.

I liked the way this was written. No BS, just straight up, "We need to reset". It's refreshing to hear. I stopped using Clubhouse after being an early user for a couple of months. Some conversations were good, but most weren&

I have a "Daily" tab folder that I start my day with it. It contains HN / Bookface, several subreddits, and NYT, local news, and Ars Technica. Over time, I started to remove subreddits that are no longer relevant to me (e.g.

I lived and worked in Portland for five years, and have been traveling back and forth recently. The downtown area is pretty sad to see post-COVID. Pretty much lawlessness rules the streets and every once in a while, a little bit of action t

I did this from IT technician to DevOps/Platform engineering. Took about a year of learning and a handful of failing interviews to finally have someone take a chance on me. I started by first learning what the job requirements are, loo

I wonder if this has to do with just how good the M1/M2 chips are. I have an M2 MacBook Air and honestly, it's been one of the best computers I had in a while. Perfect size, works extremely fast for what I need and is built really

I bought one and used it a handful of times, if you're not really into this kind of thing, it will pretty much sit in a drawer.

I'm in year five of building companies, three years doing it full-time. I don't have regrets but there have been extreme low point - primarily tied to other people. Firing others. Having investors pull out last second and forcing

I have a 2023 Model Y without radar sensors and got the parking assist update recently. It's by far one of the most annoying updates I got. Sitting in traffic, it would trigger itself thinking that I'm trying to park. Parking in t

I "downsized" from a MacBook Pro 15 with high specs (i9, dedicated GPU, 64 GB RAM) to a MacBook Air M2 and don't regret the decision. I don't feel I'm missing out on anything except when I want to run a VM locally (

I’m going through a similar experience for my kids. I’m super close to pulling a trigger on a iMac G3, which was the first computer I used as a kid (at the school computer lab). Not having it connected to the internet, preloaded with Kid Pi

What a stupid move. Every infotainment system I used that didn't have CarPlay has been horrible. Either it was incredibly slow or hard to use. Going into a rental with CarPlay has always been awesome. Everything you need is right where

I did YC in S20 remotely from Charlotte, NC. As a first time founder doing things solo, it was a great experience and most importantly, opened up a lot of doors that were previously closed. I met so many amazing people who previously I didn

Incredibly cool product, often user onboarding to any SaaS is either over engineered (and takes too long) or completely lacking.

I don't upgrade my computers (or my phones) as much anymore so serviceability isn't as important to me. I have both a MacBook Air M2 and a T480 and I love the flexibility. Most of what I do is on the M2 but every once in a while,

I wish more chargers would follow similar model to charging to how Superchargers work - high amperage, plug-and-go. I used a non-Tesla charger for my Model Y yesterday at a parking garage. Let me tell you the experience: 1. Came up, no dire

I had to use Teams for a couple of months with a client. It's not great but it's not terrible. I do miss days of Zoom but I opened it recently and found apps listed during the call of sudden - felt like bloatware.
