God dammit, yes I have Silverpremium. What the hell? Oh, us-east-1 is down. Damn, I felt so sad typing that. If us 90's internet builders knew what we were pushing the world towards, I think many of us would have quit and become far

This driving session brought to you by your friends at PepsiCo. There's a Buc-ee's on your route. Would you like to add a stop to grab a cool refreshing 44 oz Mountain Dew Code Red?

Last year, I rented a Kia. I was coasting downhill on a curve and approached a group of bikers. Everything was fine. I was a little below the speed limit, they were in the bike lane, I was in my lane, it was a sunny day. The car detecte

Years ago , like around 2000, I had a personal blog where I mentioned a local TV celebrity talking about something. The post was about 90% the topic, but in referencing the guy himself, I said something like, "this guy's cool.&q

Yep. Along with your other comment, I also think they're too big to be messed with for now. Last company I was at maybe serves as predictions of what's to come. It's also blue collar tech, thirty years old, was the first

Costco is interesting. I've always find it an interesting dichotomy between their public image, retail worker reputation, and corporate reputation. The former two are fantastic. I live in Seattle metro area where they are headquartered

Thanks for doing this. I don't know if this is still the case, but I looked into high end consumer headphones ($700+) about three years ago and concluded almost all of them had a bad sustainability problem. I looked at cosmetic repair

I briefly attended a CSU in the 90's and this was well discussed even back then with predicted population declines. There's just too many CSUs. You'll always need the ones like Stanislaus and Bakersfield to serve their comm

We all know Google search has been broken for a long, long time. SEO trash will fill up your first page with results from trash content generation sites that repeat the same thing, usually flat out wrong. Actual meaningful results are bur

Man, a bygone era where TV theme songs were an art in itself.

Don't care. I'm going to name and shame. I worked at Seattle Children's Hospital in tech for a short time. The insane amount of self congratulatory back patting to mask incompetence and tolerance of mediocrity wasted billi

That's going to make for some very interesting smoked cheeses. I'd love to try a smoked brie with this wood.

They certainly can do it. Hardcore fans understand what they're doing. Maybe some would hate it, but everyone knows that would be possible. It's sci-fi. Ghostbusters 2016 got decannonized. For mainstream fans, the whole Star W

Remembering and reading the source articles, divisiveness wasn't the fact Rey's parents weren't royal lineage, it was that fans are going to speculate, and Disney did nothing on or off screen to manage that speculation. In f

Disagree. The people that buy Porches and Macs see that logo as iconic. Sexy as fuck.

One of my COVID projects was to set up a networked Time Machine backup on Raspberry Pi. Every single one of the blogspam sites (lifehacker, howtogeek, etc.) told you to use AFP/HFS+/Netatalk. I had so many problems with this. Ti

I was outraged when I first read that article, but taking a step back and catching up on recent progress, I came to the same conclusion you did. Words like "nefarious", "fraud", and "corrupt" were thrown aroun

It is just obnoxious the gap between thought leaders and everyone else. I was at a panel last week. The most pro-AI person was an account executive from a big fintech company. EVERYONE else - a data scientist that works in AI, regulatory c

There was a MoU between the American Farm Bureau and John Deere signed in 2023 that outlined right to repair. This consequently already altered Deere's business model with respect to IP and right to repair, and gave signals that a set

I think HN is one of the better ones these days. I have no data to back this up, but the comments aren't like reddit comments. Go into any reddit post on the main subs, and you won't have to scroll very far to get a comment abo

Definitely. Besides the performance issues, back then, Teams barely had any features. One example was that it wouldn't show you who was talking. First time we had a call was with 30 people and I remember a manager calling out a dire

I worked at a hospital in that timeframe and they rolled out Teams. Up until they, shadow IT teams were running Slack just fine. Man, what a horrendous pile of crap Teams was back then. The Slack teams were griping that they should just b

I'd imagine it's not just the research quests, but it's submissions for new stops, too.

My friend did this. He always took pictures of his feet. He was banned from submitting scans and Wayfarer for a few years. He just got access back. We joke that maybe PoGo didn't get any benefit from his data, but someone did.

They introduced user-created communities a few months ago. They had problems with squatting and splintering, which might have played a role in their annoucement.

Argh. Also quite irritated. I had 50/50 transitioned over to it despite the lower traffic because it was a calm oasis. The thing about bots is believable, though, because you could already see it happening. Dead Internet has been r

This is good stuff, thanks. We all know that Amazon, Google, Meta, etc. did a ridiculous amount of hiring these past 10 years. Non-tech people don't understand how absurd this all was. Now that AI is being blamed for these layoffs, t
