Back in 1998 I think - but that was a reboot when Jobs took over again. At the very start they had the Apple1.

Entire countries survived on distilled water for decades (Hong Kong, etc). Electrolytes can be readily gotten by solid foods.

Biden's choice of keeping Jerome Powell, a Republican, as Fed Chair was a choice. An extremely ill-advised one.

Car companies did make some compliance cars (I own one - Ford Focus 2017) and honestly it's a great city car. My wife prefers it to our more expensive SUV EV. In addition to the spark EV, Fiat 500 EV, etc these are all no longer sold

I really love in my Kia EV6 that I can do almost everything with tactile controls. One of the major reasons I didn't get a Model Y.

No one in the industry uses Apple's marketing in any real sense. The marketing is not for you - its sole purpose is to sell more Macs to their target market. That you are distracted by it is not Apple's problem - and most other i

> In those visions, users simply asked questions and received reliable answers - nobody had to fact-check the answers ever. I mean, Star Trek is a fictional science-fantasy world so it's natural that tech works without a hitch. It&

People are - but then they run into the same corruption that has warped general elections [1]. They also run into the issue that primary elections in the US are arranged by the political parties which are also part of the corruption. The p

Fear of fat has completely killed this country's health. Fat is a necessary part of food. Fat doesn't make you fat, refined sugar does.

After flame-grilling and steaming I'd never go back to frying fish. Steamed with green onions, ginger and some soy sauce is, like amazing.

I put my wood cooking spoons in the dishwasher. They're the cheap kind and now they're quite bleached but they still work.

I recently learned how to cook non-stick with my stainless steel pan [1]. Needless to say it's a bit more involved, but I felt more accomplished when I figured out how to cook with it. Pros: SS can go right in the dishwasher, it'

This kind of attitude is why we get such bad IoT security. Everyone deserves privacy - just like with Facebook, a bad actor watching your profile could infer your movements on Strava (or lack thereof) and use that to break into your home or

Yes, mine are. I explicitly share some activities.

Strava is a social app with a gamification angle. I use the social to share my rides (only) with people who follow me and to view people I follow to get inspired. I also use the gamification to compete - but really only against myself.

This is why I only use Strava to share with my followers. Yes, it's an extra step after my workout to edit, add pics if any, choose my activity level if I was too lazy to put on my HR monitor, and then only post to my followers. Yes, t

Tooth aches in my experience are often unrelated to the tooth but instead due to sinus pressure (an infection, allergies, etc).

You're not using the best window managers - most have customizable drag points or keybindings to get exactly what you want.

by r00fus 2y ago
A decent window management tool (e.g. Rectangle.app) should resolve most of your window management issues - set up many drag points to easily divide windows by half, thirds, quarters, sixths, etc. Most screen share apps should support shari

I have the same monitor and honestly BetterDisplay.app has made the CRG9 a lot better - it fakes HiDPI so you have much larger readable text (my eyes ain't what they used to be). Before that app, I was leaning into my monitor, now I si

I wonder why that is? the UN is poorly structured but the largest use of Security Council vetos is by the US.

I mean they did commit to paying this tax, so I'm not sure if it's a "threat" as much as a promise kept (to ban use/sale of the devices).

I wonder if this is on the heels of their move to BRICS? https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20241025_23/ Who needs western foreign investment when they can get it from China/India/etc.

Anecdotally, I prefer telemedicine for my PCP other than yearly physicals. I can usually get an appointment in the same week, often same day if I am willing to go to another provider in a different nearby office. YMMV I guess.

Why blame phones when you can simply blame cost? Everything is crazy expensive nowadays - from cars&insurance to movies & alcohol.
