Even after decades of using macOS I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that Finder has no single button shortcut for opening a file - the most common operation a file manager should do. It’s Cmd+O, and it cannot be changed to anythin

My shoes are Hoka Speedgoat, 2 pairs of 5s, 2 pairs of 6s so far. I find both models equally comfortable, but I can see the durability of 6s is worse than 5s. Some of the upper parts of the shoe that were previously made of a solid material

I’m not a professional athlete, but I run and walk recreationally daily for at least a couple of hours. A pair of shoes lasts me about 9-12 months on average. I used to be very picky about my shoes trying dozens of models in store before fi

Touryst renders the game at 4K120 or 8k60. In the latter case, the image is subsampled to 4K output.

The scene with the planetoid hovering in the middle of a room was made me remember the game despite playing it more than 15 years ago. It was so ahead of its time!

Rereleased GTA games have a lot of iconic music removed from their radio soundtracks due to expired licenses.

Prey (2006) https://delistedgames.com/prey/ Great game, with some innovative level design involving portals and gravity manipulation. Delisted back in 2009 and impossible to acquire legally to this day on PC.

It's not only a matter of having better hardware (though it certainly helps a lot). For example, Apple does a lot of software tuning and tweaking to make the Macbook speakers sound as good as they do. And it's been fascinating to

I’ve heard from several people who game on Windows that Gamescope side panel with OS-wide tweakables for overlays, performance, power, frame limiters and scaling is something that they miss after playing on Steam Deck. There are separate ut

Hi! I have no issue with having the backup being encrypted by default, except the discussion returns again and again to disallowing any cleartext export, even when specifically requested by the end user. And on a separate note, I fundamenta

Vendor lock-in a serious concern. Just reading through this KeePass issue again and seeing how much pressure the industry is trying to exert to prevent the users from being able to export their own private keys should be concerning. I come

Our org just migrated from Bitrise to self-hosted GHA runners just a couple of months ago, with cost savings as a main reason. I already foresee an interesting conversation coming up tomorrow.

I have bought a Dreame L10 Ultra with Valetudo in mind, but I discovered that if you skip connecting it to the internet during the setup process, you can still use it normally. I don’t care about any of the smart features and simply start a

Unfortunately, they already exist - the M-series smart monitors, made by Samsung (who else?). They made a splash a few months ago when they started showing popups over people’s screen content nagging them to update or register for some serv

I had to travel from Copenhagen to Berlin and Copenhagen to Basel several times, and I was open to choosing a train, but ended up flying to avoid dealing with DB. I really didn’t want the risk of missed connections cascading into messing up

I’m using Syncthing, though not the Android version. After reading the forum thread, the whole situation seems to be mishandled pretty badly. I wouldn’t feel comfortable entrusting my sensitive data to them after such a sketchy handover pro

The HDD performance suffers very much during the portal loading sequences in Ratchet and Clank, but even the entry level SSD performs fine, with little visible difference compared to the PS5 one. It’s more about random access speed than pur

It’s not some mystical thing, but a matter of smart urban design. Oslo and Helsinki have managed to achieve zero road deaths in a year without eliminating vehicles. You don’t need to accept a certain amount of deaths as some sort inevitabil

Sony’s current tactics is to publish all their releases on PC 6-12 months later. Doing this expands the potential player base and even makes some players to double dip and buy the game twice

It ultimately comes down to the price. If it’s low enough, I’ll get Steam machine as a living room indie box and for streaming from my main desktop. I would feel bad for overpaying for 8 gigs of VRAM in 2026.

You can still use Librewolf, if you manually remove the quarantine attribute after every update and reboot. It’s very annoying, but at least it’s possible for now xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LibreWolf.app
