Google is so big I'm sure they had their own ups and downs. I see so many school districts doubling down on Google Classroom--the district may have used it previously, but were now adding accounts for Kindergarteners. While Google usa

I've noticed terminal rendering performance issues when dumping a lot of text. If that's part of your job, it's important to you. For me it seems to come up once every few years and I've poked around at alternatives. I

I don't think I've seen issues in practice, but I thought last time I saw benchmarks Terminal.app blew away the others. I believe it used some non-standard method to render to screen.

I've been using Terminal.app for years (I used iTerm2 before Terminal.app had some major improvements). I switched to Kitty so I could bind a shortcut key to opening a new terminal window--a habit I picked up from tiling window manage

I agree. I can't imagine how 3d printing is a solution for mass production unless you have no other skills or materials (but have time). As an individual, if I had to make more than 3 of something I'd 3d print the first (or fash

When I have issues like this when searching my next search is usually "slack chat" or "zoom video." Now that they're popular, you don't need these qualifiers. What would someone add to "screen"? &q

I'm not trying to stir paranoia, but I wonder how diligent the average person is with gloves? We don't ooze the virus out of our fingers, its picked up or wiped from somewhere. Wearing old gloves is worse than freshly washed or

I have no background in this, but just because it was detected after 17 days doesn't mean it was still viable and able to infect someone. There are so many variables and I've also heard 3 days for most surfaces is reasonable. We

I haven't used Jitsi, but different apps and approaches work better in different situations. Are you screen sharing? Audio chat? video chat? Large meeting with multiple people? Mac/Win/Linux? Is your connection bad? Hig

At a previous job there was no "blessed" app. We used Mac/Win/Linux and different apps seemed to work better depending on the situation (screen sharing, group chat, one-on-one video chat). Not only in resource usage, b

I think that's rather bold to say "people are done with passwords." Personally, I find them rather annoying. I don't like bouncing between apps. The email login link often opens a new tab/window, too. When the e

I think it's fair to compare. Excluding Apple's recent scissor switch keyboard, they've both been reliable and serviceable. They've both had a following over many years. Aesthetically, I've preferred Apple's

I always took "Telling People They Don’t Need Masks" as there is about to be an immense shortage so known infected and medical staff should be prioritized. If everyone tried to start wearing masks a month ago we wouldn't hav

There's even more, though. It gives us an opportunity to replenish masks, hand sanitizers, tests, and other supplies we have an immediate need for. Once this plateaus and stockpiles replenish, we can take some small steps to normalcy

So it's hard to find tech-specs, but iSight was branding between 2005 and 2010. The branding changed in 2011 and forward to "FaceTime HD." At that time resolution did get bumped up to 720p, but since a camera's quality

This frustrated me to no end. I'm pretty sure the newest MacBook Pros have the exact same camera on my previous 2011 MacBook Pro (and likely earlier). I don't care all that much about resolution...just make the image quality bet
