My late `09 Mac Mini blew up a few years ago. I had a spare one a friend gave me that I fired up and when I sent an email to the BBEDit folks asking if could download and unlock that version they gave it to me without any hesitation. All th

It's trivial to limit the speed of a car. "Cruise Control" tech is pretty old. And this subject is not about someone doing 20mph and banging into someone because they were looking at their phone. It's about selling tech

I grew up around cars, and car builders. I've worked on quite a few very famous cars. My father built custom cars and ran "Barris Kustom" for years. I learned how to build custom cars, including race cars. I also spent years

I made a version of an offline first app using PouchDB and CouchDB running on a Digital Ocean server. And a version that used a CouchDB installed on a local server (Raspberry Pi). There are a few ways to do that using those tools, and it&#x

I've run my own email server for quite a few years and that's still a tough question to answer. I have thought about creating a few email accounts to test that though, but still not done it. It would be pretty easy to test that by

Back in the late `70s early `80s I lived in Los Angeles and I'd grab some fast food after work and go home and sit down and watch the "News". There was only one channel we could get using an antenna. They had 3 half hour news

I was lucky to get one of the Raspberry Pi 4 8GB boards before covid. That really is a great little computer. I wanted to build a product to sell using those but had to shelf it. As I recall back then they said it would be at least 3 years

Wow... I didn't expect to get so many panties knotted up with that observation, but I think those who down voted it prove my observation. What bugs me most about ChatGPT is that it doesn't attribute where it got the results it off

I posted some comments about ChatGTP in a local FB group and there was a pretty large percent of folks who responded here that think it's just an awful thing that's going to lead to the downfall of civilization. I tried to offer t

That's awesome! I've been reluctant to create an account so this let's me play around a bit without having to do that. Thank you for sharing this here.

That's a very interesting article. I've yet to look into AI much at all but I can see how this aspect might be useful in at least gaining some insight to issues people are struggling with and potentially helping folks.

I've been a fan of Joe Martin for many years. His sense of humor always brightens my day and his website looks like it hasn't changed in over 20 years, which always makes me chuckle a bit too.

I have worked with folks who weren't happy with their job. And I've quit a few jobs I had because I wasn't valued there. But it wasn't because the work was unfulfilling. I've never really given that any thought beca

I read not long ago about a connection between gut bugs and schizophrenia and how probiotics may help with that too. Looks to me like your diet may be doing the same thing. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article&

I'm not really seeing how giving preowned shoes to folks is not "recycling" them. When I was young we'd take glass soda bottles back to the store to be cleaned and refilled and we'd get a little money back. That was

I'm surprised they list PouchDB but not CouchDB for local first software. PouchDB is fine for trivial local first apps, but not for anything that's critical. CouchDB, on the other hand, is a very robust app that can be used by mul

The problem is people are using that technology. What you're saying is akin to "Guns don't kill people, people kill people", and that's true. But it's also true that people who don't have guns don't k

Splitting hairs on the definition of "recall" of a potential deadly flaw in 362,758 automobiles is silly. But is is the correct word for that industry when there is one. I worked at a Oldsmobile dealer in the 80s and fixed all kin

I read a bit on that data review and it looks very weak to me. Where I live almost no one wore masks and many folks would snarl and scoff at those who did. And the percent of folks who wore them covering their mouth but not their nose was w

Yeah, I just checked again after reading the replies here and it's even older than that, it's an iPhone 6 plus. Maybe I should talk to my daughter about getting a newer one :D

I just checked and it's an iPhone 6 Plus, so even older than I thought. It's one of my wife's old phones. She did get a new one for Christmas last year but traded in her old one, which I think was an iPhone 10, so that's
