Hopefully this is a simple question. I have a busted (seemingly) EdgeRouter from Ubiquiti that needs replacing. I am currently on an old ASUS that was from the before times and it's "fine" but not updated any longer (even wit

I tend to only use the zero funds in tax advantaged accounts. Primary example, I needed to move an HSA to avoid a $20/month fee from the idiots at Health Equity when I switched jobs. Moved it immediately to Fidelity since they offer an

Boycotts can take on different levels. I'd personally say that if you already own an iPhone, Android phone, Mac or PC, you've already given them your money, but you can absolutely refuse to give more the next time around and buy s

Same! Prior to the pandemic I almost always got sick post flight. I now wear a mask and take better precautions and all that and haven't been sick after being a lot more cautious about it. Frankly, worth it for me as I'd often end

Never had this happen to me. Admittedly I am in a very rural area, and while I do sometimes get some gps points that are "off" it's generally very fast and accurate. Basically all the errors I've personally run into fall

I don't think anyone really cares or thinks there's some benefit. The problem is (I think) that this leads to some people believing that the dye causes cancer, when there's been no direct link in humans.

Entirely possible that someone isn't aware that alternatives exist! I was not aware until recently when I took up photography again and started looking for alternatives to Adobe. The nice bonus is that there are plenty of guides out th

I don’t mind the size but it does make it prohibitively more difficult to travel with compared to the Switch (slightly) but especially so compared to old handhelds like the DS and Vita. I generally keep my Steam Deck at home and play from t

darktable or Rawtherapee will probably run just fine on the SteamDeck!

I mean, I get it, it's a whole can of worms. Also, sorry, little late to the reply here! I think there's like a couple of major areas where it concerns me I guess. The first is when we use these types of technologies to fool peopl

Frustrating to me, too, as someone who has recently gotten back into photography and it's difficult to know whether the photos I am using as inspiration are actually real or so highly edited that I'd never be able to achieve somet

I can't speak to Europe, but in the US in a very rural location, I never have speed limit issues to begin with. I believe I have also submitted a couple of changes for small things, and they've all been handled so far as I can tel

I dedicate time to it almost every day. I also have a book club with a friend to keep me a bit outside my comfort zone.

I would call it reading. But it’s up to the person. Ultimately I find time for both. I completed 30 books in 2024. 2-3 of them were audiobooks I think. They count in my opinion.

Possibly, but "Cool..." is hardly adding any value, whatsoever. In this case the poster should've simply said nothing unless they had something of value to say. This is sort of the second point I was quoting. There are a numb

The ... can be read as sounding very dismissive. But also, it really didn't add anything to the discussion even if that wasn't the intention. Hence the second point I added from the guidelines. So, I see two potential areas of imp

So many times I have seen women say "we aren't ready for a woman president, they're too hysterical" The misogyny is so deep that women experience it from other women.

God, this stupid tariff thing again. All tariffs are going to do is raise costs, so we'll go back to inflation being insane.

Certain types of travel will always exist. But traveling for work? That's an entire idea I can get behind avoiding.

True, but I have worked at companies who employ users that maybe aren't entirely up to speed on the technical details and they have GitHub account's for submitting bug reports. This would very easily fool some of these people. Tec

Joyent also merged with TextDrive, which is where the FreeBSD part came from. TextDrive was an early Rails host, and could even do it in a shared hosting environment, which is where I think a lot of the original user base came from (also Te

I think it depends entirely on what you want to do. Do you want a smart watch or fitness watch? I think if you want a real smart watch you're better off with something else, like an Apple Watch. If you're looking for fitness, I th

Seems it's definitely showing up in fewer devices. Fenix 8 only offers it on two of the 3 sizes. It remains on the Enduro 3. For those that aren't aware, Fenix 8 blends the Epix and Fenix together. It's available in 3 sizes w

I'm sure you're aware of this, but bringing it up in case you aren't. On newer Face ID models, you can swipe down on the bottom of the screen (the little grey bar) and it'll toggle the reachability feature so the top of

Too risky anymore. Is it an open box item sold as new? Is it a counterfeit? Is it actually just a brick that was sent in a box to you? Plus, Amazon controls everything, and if we get philosophical here I'd rather support individual com

As I recall it was a couple hundred bucks for the ear pieces plus the cost of the AirPods. So, yea, probably around the same price as MSRP AirPods Max.

As a Garmin watch user, I don't mind the bulk, it's mostly the general _shape_ of the Apple Watch that kills me. It's shaped in such a way that it just sorta knocks into things in weird ways. I'm ultimately still very gl
