This is very common in unix tools where the name of the executable changes the behavior of the tool (e.g. bash/sh, vim/vi). Exiftool is more like this, where you can pass in command line options inside () within the executable fil

Isn’t this how the mobile Outlook app works? It takes all your account info, saves it to a proxy in the cloud, which is what makes the connection to your mail accounts. Then the mobile app talks to the proxy.

Iosevka is pretty narrow and also popular. Not sure if it meets your definition, but might be worth a look.

The zoom trick is how you used to have to do it, but then they added reduce white point. When you enable reduce white point, a slider is shown that lets you adjust it, all the way down to almost completely off. I can’t imagine needing to la

You’re falling right into the ISP playbook. ISPs absolutely need far more oversight, due to the fact that they have received billions in public money to subsidize their buildouts, but then complain that they should be able to operate like a

It’s really not that hard to follow from a product perspective. 4K is better, therefore it has more value that people would be willing to pay for. The price of things (especially virtual goods) rarely has any relation to “marginal cost” to

It was supposedly more related to the fact that they’re now also streaming tons of non-HBO content, and so they didn’t want to dilute the perception of quality of the HBO brand by having all that junk under the “HBO” app.

Your bias is showing in your omission of the main point (which is clearly stated in the post): they’re insisting she opens the door. The desire is for them to leave the food and then go away, so she can open the door to get the food. This i

Firefox is definitely on par with Chrome these days, so if you’re seeing issues like this, I would first suspect that it’s the web sites you have loaded in those 50+ open tabs instead of the browser itself. So many sites use bad JavaScript

At the time, Chrome was the scrappy new browser coming from the company that vowed to “don’t be evil”, challenging the well-entrenched and stagnant IE11. Most tech people started using Chrome because of this, and had no problem earning a fe

This kind of article is clearly targeted to people who do no exercise at all, and is aimed at motivating them to just walk, which most people consider to be easy and not a “real” exercise. The point is that walking, even though it’s easy, s

You seem to be missing that the biggest expense is actually running and burying the wires themselves. Coax is already deployed in huge parts of the US, and it’s not easy or fast to rewire the whole country with something new.

Once you factor in all the energy and materials required to actually recycle those plastics (water to clean, fuel to transport, personnel to sort, etc.), the act of recycling plastic itself is a net loss. And that’s only if you can find som

It seems like you haven’t been paying attention to what big tech has been doing the past decade. Every piece of available data is considered as a free-for-all to collect and use however they want. Everything on the web is scraped. Every tim

If you have the printer on your network, and any Amazon device on your network, the Amazon device could easily query the printer for ink levels. My Home Assistant does this and I never connected HA to the printer. It’s just part of the stat

I’m surprised that you’re surprised about this. Credit card bills are the original dark pattern. Every other bill you receive has a single number in a box that says “pay this amount”, and when you pay that amount, you’re done. But with cred

One of the main benefits of sudo is that nobody needs to know the root password to switch to root (like one would need when using su). The actual root password can be saved in some break glass system, and admins only need to manage their ow

Its location in a remote area made it good for what it was, a telescope with relatively little surrounding radio interference, but it really isn’t suited for other uses that bring in more people. It’s unfortunate since there’s a lot of prid

Powerline causes a lot of radio interference and is generally discouraged as much as possible. It should only be used as a last resort if nothing else works, including WiFi. It’s much better to use MoCa over coax and setup WiFi APs.

The majority of consumer devices in a home are tablets, phones, TV sticks, etc that will never have an Ethernet connection, so there’s not really a strong demand for wired connections. It’s not worth wiring a new construction as it’s just n
