My first modem was a 300 baud Hayes modem that was given to me. I used it on my Atari 1040 STE. It was ... slow. The next bump was to 1200 baud, and that definitely made things a bit more bearable. A new family computer came with an interna

Phew! I'm not sure about Rogers and Bell, but Telus doesn't seem to grasp what the "e" stands for in eSIM. You have to go to a store and buy a physical card with the eSIM QR code printed on it. Instant online-delivery? N

Mine seems to be trying to get a lock on at least three satellites before finding the ideal spot.

True – I'm definitely glad it's there, and I would totally use it for personal/casual projects where I likely won't have a fancy AWS/CircleCI/etc setup. At work though, its use would actually add to our bill an

It depends on what the build process looks like, but I find buildx to be really, really slow–and that can be costly if you're paying for the compute time to do that. (The slow part is if you have to do any compiling for the non-native

I did this for about 20 years, and have basically stopped because I wasn't really seeing an advantage to make it worth the bother.

I still have a working eMate 300. Every now and then I start it up and play around a bit. It's neat to see how someone of it still lives on in iPad OS with the Apple Pencil.

I hope one day we are able to simply walk/drive/fly around the worlds created for movies like Monsters, Inc., Secret Life of Pets, Luca, Turning Red, etc. The artists and modellers have done such a fabulous job of creating these i

"Tesla to push software update to update beta software behaviour." _Recall_ makes it sound very different from what will actually happen.

My Linux desktop in the 90s was always so cozy during winter with xsnow running over top of a beautifully rendered POVray scene (that took several days for my Cyrix 5x86 to render). I do miss those days.

When I hear recall, it makes me picture having to bring my vehicle in to have work done on it. There really needs to be a new name to better describe an over-the-air software update.

I went from a 2016 top-of-the-line MacBook Pro to an M1 Mac mini, and I can't believe how much faster things are–including Docker with Rails, PostgreSQL, etc. Out of curiosity, are you running native (arm64) containers? Aside from an i

This is great! If I create a sticker on one device, will it sync via iCloud to my other devices?

Probably fine.

Doesn't look like it will be editor-agnostic which is a big shame. I've been using TabNine in Vim for a couple years, and I love it.

I've been using TabNine for a couple years – constantly impresses me, especially how quickly it picks up new patterns. I wouldn't say it's doing my job for me, but definitely saves me a lot of time.

As a user of both, it's baffling to me that Intel would be anything but quiet here. I'm blown away by the performance of my M1 every day from everything to compiling big Javascript projects with Webpack to launching and using Phot

As a Nikon user for decades, I hope they pull through. I've always wondered why they have SO many bodies – why not simplify the line-up?

I have a friend who works for a big 3D animation house. When COVID hit and everyone was remote, people used Teradici to remote into their powerhouse workstations. It is apparently very performant. And touching on the IT think, no files need

Yeah, pretty sure that's not accurate. I seem able to set app-specific limits for my kids. But I guess I better double-check!

I placed an order this morning for a new MacBook Pro to replace my 2016 with Touchbar, but after humming and hawing all day, I cancelled it. Since I'm working from home these days without any prospect of that changing, I've decide

I've been using an older 2016 MacBook Pro (1st with TouchBar) and was excited about something faster. Given that most people are working from home now, and the fact that the new MacBook Pro is virtually identical physically to what I g

by pgib 6y ago
Yeah, that's what I was just looking at. Up to 2 more hours of battery life, TouchBar, and a [slightly?] better microphone is the only difference I can see. Not much price difference either.

Damn. I just moved into a new place, and I was looking at getting the Nest Secure, as the ADT systems seem to archaic to me. Does anyone know of any comparable, high-tech systems?

I got the iPhone 12 Pro after using my iPhone X for the last three years. I was mostly excited about a big camera upgrade, and there are definitely some big improvements from what I have been using. But I'm not 100% sure if I'm go

I just can't understand why Google, Apple, and such companies can't share the specifics around what the violation actually was.

I got my Model 3 in 2018. Since then, it has received a ton of free upgrades making it way more feature rich than I bought it. There are certain add-ons you can purchase when you order (at a bit of a discount compared to if you decide to ge
