It's remarkable that an animated video of this high quality for a French tv commercial is immediately disregarded. Animation has come so far!

That's fair enough! Most accountants I crossed paths with dislike the modern type of busy work. Lots of marking up spreadsheets and PDFs rather than crafting journal entries. Luckily for me, I switched into software engineering, and sy

This is a really interesting observation! Cars don't have to dominate our city design, and yet they do in many places. In the USA, you basically only have NYC and a few less convenient cities to avoid a city designed for cars. Society

This might sound crazy as a software engineer, but I actually like the occasional "snow day" where everything goes down. It's healthy for us to all disconnect from the internet for a bit. The centralization unintentionally he

I did, but the CS agent kept trying to change the email to a new one when I told them I had lost access, and the validation failed because it wanted to send an email to the old address about the email being updated and couldn't. They d

Careful with this method. I was unable to purchase plane tickets from Southwest or even change my email address because they changed their parsing rules on me and silently dropped the plus. I found out most airlines don't have a ticket

Yes to both. It works very well! Admittedly, I just finished the original Half-Life, so I need to push it a little harder, but it's been capable of running Oblivion and Civ CII quite well.

I recently bought an original iPhone SE in hopes of using a smaller device. But I can't use it for anything worthwhile because I can't sign into an Apple ID due to having encrypted backups on my account, which was introduced in iO

I'll echo the sentiment about being very familiar with macOS but being spoiled by Linux and KDE Plasma. I put up with my work MacBook. My personal Linux setup just works and gets out of the way as a machine.

It requires a password to enable Touch ID whenever you restart your phone. For security reasons, the iPhone automatically restarts every few days. So I run into this issue regularly.

Why can I not use my password manager for my Apple ID but can use it for any other password field? Instead I have to switch to my password manager, copy the password, reopen the App Store, select get app, and paste the password in the Apple

Does thunderbird support the file storage, labelling, alias creation, and notes features as well? I thought thunderbird was just for email using IMAP. Does it support JMAP? And what about them making this has detracted from your experience

I just read that they changed their stance, but for a long time, they were against implementing RCS and said users should be using another tool like Signal. That ignores real world scenarios where users ended up using SMS rather than RCS, w
