Last year the wifi functionality broke on my nest thermostat, and I lived without a smart thermostat for months! Google did replace it for free when I finally got around to making a support ticket, so at least for me it was a positive exper

It works just fine as a dumb thermostat - you can even set a schedule through the on device UI. Just no app functions

Centralized still makes sense for some things that should not be collaborated on simultaneously! I have used git when working with electronics and part libraries, but there were occasionally merge conflicts with the files when someone would

I look at twitter discussions and it honestly like like a lot of people are just shouting past each other. I don't think anyone is out to win hearts and minds out there...

This method definitely keeps things fresh (no pun intended)! My kids are really good about eating fresh produce but I've noticed that they also appreciate rotating new things in every few weeks/months.

I used to worry that pen/paper wasn't the perfect note taking system because it lacks the searchability of digital notes - but over time I have realized that the primary purpose of notes for me isn't long term but short term.

Yes, I always enjoy planning out block diagrams easier with a whiteboard than paper due to easy erasing and colors!

I remember reading you should shoot for total BOM costs of about 30% sale price though... So that seems more reasonable to me

Thanks for the insight, that seems plausible to me! A moving robot doesn't make too much sense in this application since the products and shelving is stationary. It just adds a ton of complexity. What's interesting is the Amazon s

I think people underestimate just how difficult it is to design and manufacture a printer! Paper isn't easy to work with, especially when it comes with all sorts of thicknesses and finishes. We expect extreme accuracy and reliability,

My color laser printer has been working well for years now! Each toner cartridge lasts at least 1000 pages (current winner in my printer is black with 1553 pages). It is a little slow to load big documents but I don't see any need to

Whee-chhiee! Baaaah! I'll always remember that soundbite that came with winamp. I'll have to download it again!

Is freeCAD a viable replacement for Fusion 360 now, especially with the recent changes to the Hobby license?

I learned way more about spiders in the sci-fi book "Children of Time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky than I thought I would! The basic premise is that the evolution of spiders on a new planet is hyper-increased, and they become the domin

I think drivers can improve over time as well, especially with assistive technology such as lane departure warning, blind spot detectors, etc becoming more prevalent. Luckily self driving isn't an all or nothing deal!

Embarrassingly I once lost a hamburger while still holding it.. I had my arm propped up on a the back of the chair and it was just out of my peripheral vision. Not my smartest moment.

Yes, if I notice it I can undo obviously! The problem is when I realize the mistake a few edits later...

I am sorry you have to deal with this co-worker. No one deserves to be treated this way. I agree with other responses here that there isn't anything you can do to change his behaviors since the boss doesn't care. The only thing

I love using org mode but what I would really like is a thin GUI client which would keep me from making silly mistakes (such as deleting a heading line accidentally and leaving the orphaned content under a new heading), keep things visually

Yes that is my problem as well. I love my org files but it is too easy to make a mistake that can really mess up your file, such as deleting a heading line accidentally will then file everything under the heading above it!

From the title I thought that this was about the "My dad wrote a porno" podcast and was hoping the next season was coming out soon. Well it turns out there are other dads who have made pornography! Who would've thought?

I think it depends a lot on expectations - I have had different managers who have had different expectations even in the office! I even had one manager who said I was walking from my desk too much and I definitely don't miss that (may

At my company we recently had an incident related to the recent WFH with a subcontractor in India. He was providing his credentials to another contractor who impersonated him, which is something that he probably would not have tried in the

My sister used to hold her breath and pass out whenever she didn't get her way. She took stubbornness to the next level!

That would be a great idea!! Maybe paint the entire thing red...

I am not sure how well this would work, as others have said when you drive a forklift you really need to keep your head on a swivel. Both for general operation and of course for safety. I got to drive a forklift during my first job right a

For some recent interviews I have had 2 hour long interviews with 2-3 people in each, so 6 hours as a total seems realistic! Too bad I didn't get paid for my time!

Isn't this an unfortunate aspect of trademark law? As the owner if it is shown that you do not make an effort to go after unauthorized use than a more unscrupulous trademark thief could then steal your trademark and win in court?

I think it is one of those things like insurance - you won't need it 99% of the time but it is good to have for that awful 1%!
