I'm on my third pair now. IMO the Airpods Pro are poorly designed. You really gotta be careful when you handle them as the little "air vents" that prevent ear pressure can easily "clogs" and this create a rattle sou

I now view life as a sort of cosmic experience or simulation. What matters (to me) are the insight you get, the exchange you have with other people, the new perspective you acquire thru life experiences. The external is sort of a theatre (s

The Bolt is indeed a good deal. Only negative (IMO) is the charging speed compared to other new EVs.

My brother in law's father had 2 German Shepards trained to guard his commerce and one night the burglars came in and killed them both. Very sad.

It seems like there's something darker and more perverse at play here. I'm not saying it's necessarily organized, but it's a dangerous dynamic. It like everything is done to prevent people's mind to be at peace and

It's inspiring to see good municipal broadband in the US. I wish this was more common here in Canada. To me it make sense that a city owns and operate critical infrastructure such as this.

I don't think the "Linux Desktop ecosystem" can actually learn from this. Look at the number of projects and distros out there. Too many variations and opinions to have a cohesive UX.

Are these running the same OS and software as the Nest/Google Wifi routers? If yes, then I'm not sure why Google couldn't at least support them in terms of security patches.

New ideas are always built on existing notions. Same with science fiction or any inventions. Nothing gets created out of nothing. Yes it is simple, because that's reality. Imagine you are completely blind. The concept of colours would

Langage is built on memory, and without memories, how can there be thoughts? If you are from some uncontacted tribe in the Amazon that were never exposed to any modern technology, you cannot think about computers, skyscrapers or microwave

I draw the line at Facebook/Meta, a company that is known to maximize user engagement despite knowing the negative consequence it can have.

I cannot think of a scenario in which the metaverse is a tangible benefit for society and humanity. To me this is highly sofisticated escapism and may seems benign today, but in 10-15 years, if it catches on, will be very scary. Even tho Ma

In the article, they posted a screenshot where there's an Android game, a WIN32 app (word), a PWA app and a linux app in the same window. So I think Microsoft wants to position Windows 11 as the platform for all apps.

Social media, ultimately, is information. There is no point in polarizing Facebook as good or bad. It is access to certain types of information and one must learn to discern if it can serve them or not.

These projects have a pleasant "lo-fi zen" aspect that makes them attractive, I think. They are simple, provide value yet fade into the background without sucking your attention like some other gadgets.

Blockchain tech will disrupt the banking industry. Only a matter of time before CBDC (central bank digital currencies) become a reality and exchanges such as Coinbase or Kraken applies to become banks.

Why go with Bitcoin specifically? Why not use the Celo blockchain or Algorand instead and create their own stable coins on there? Both these networks are proof of work, transactions are very fast and cheap as well. Bitcoin is slow to valida

To me this is the most interesting thing. A bunch of organic matter evolved to the point where it is trying to understand itself. How crazy is that?
