I really miss AIM. It was the way you knew friends were available to chat. It was much closer to in-person conversation than most media we use nowadays. It's not uncommon for someone to {iMessage, SMS, FB Message, IG Message, etc.} me

As someone with food hypersensitivities (not quite typical/traditional allergies), is there a usecase for me to take these drops and hope they will also improve my unusual issues? Examples of symptoms: stomach upset/aches, acid re

It honestly can be very relaxing. I didn't discover it intentionally, either. A few times my music or podcasts just finished and I was so zoned out I didn't realize. But came to enjoy the result of it.

It's also okay to take a walk with headphones on, but not plugged in/connected to anything.

I just bought the K2 v2 about a month ago and it's pretty great. From what I've seen, they updated the design so that it wouldn't be as flat. You can change the height of the back so it slopes better. I don't find myself

As a software engineer, I'd love to see that someone is capable of putting effort into updating documentation, even with minor corrections and changes. This is the kind of thing full time engineers typically don't enjoy doing, so

Ahhh. I actually don't have a Homepod, so I use my iPhone in the same way. As far as I know it's still limited to a single timer.

>Similarly the only use Siri gets on the kitchen HomePod is for hands-free timers while cooking. Same here. Just wish it could handle setting multiple timers (yes I realize you can set multiple alarms, but those aren't one-time use)

I remember one of my instructors in a CS course at SJSU about 8 years ago pushing it super hard, saying we'd be using it all the time. Well, I haven't used or seen it even a single time since then...

Fair question and to be honest I'm not entirely sure. All I know is that I've had tremors since maybe 10 or so years old, went to a pediatric (I believe) neurologist during high school (over 10 years ago) and they diagnosed it as

I'm not sure that quote is relevant to ET, though, since I'd wager most who have ET do not take medication for it. Well, that's anecdotal; I don't take anything for it.

As someone with Essential Tremor, I wonder if this could be used along with the other sensors in the watch to help figure out when the tremor seems exacerbated or less severe.

I wonder how this would all work though. Surely not everyone who joins the raffle has the sort of good health/natural athleticism as a typical astronaut.

Whoa, never knew this! Well, here's hoping COVID finally ends and I make my way back to my office, which is nearby. Then I can check out this location.

I love boba and have since my Asian friends in high school introduced it to me years ago. Granted, nowadays when I order "boba" (and say I'm ordering boba) I'm just referring to the tea by itself without the pearls/

Honestly that's how the first time experience is for most people, especially when they don't expect texture. It's ok not to enjoy it but this kind of comment comes off as fairly antagonistic.

It's hardly even a gaming website. Polygon was only a true gaming site the first year or two it was around and then they got into posting the same kind of crap Kotaku and other sites post. Both it and The Verge are nothing like they we

I'm not a huge anime person, but there's one I've watched that seems a bit relevant. In _Accel World_, they wear this thing on their neck called a "Neurolink" and basically are able to connect to things like the Int

Not a big space person, but this makes me wonder: why have we not planned for a new ISS? We must have better tech nowadays from all the working countries/groups currently involved, plus SpaceX and other space companies' backing th

I don't 100% understand this mindset. There are plenty of carnivorous animals on the planet and they (likely) never deal with viruses on this scale. But somehow humans should stop consuming animal product? It doesn't make sense un

I have such fond memories of playing StarCraft on a turquoise iMac just like the one in the article. That puck mouse was the worst, though.

I'm really hoping for the first. Pre-COVID I was pretty happy with WFH 2 or 3 days a week (sometimes Monday/Friday to bookend the week if possible). But this way I also still get to work with people in person at least a couple day

My friend who played on PC basically told me the exact same thing. It runs smoothly on his gaming setup, but the game is too linear with pretty much zero replay-ability because of how shallow the world is. It's clear they left a _lot_

Welp. Maybe I should just return my unopened PS4 hardcopy to Amazon and wait till next year when I get a PS5. It was my plan anyway. Or I just return it and never even consider buying it until maybe 3-4 years from now when it's in a ba
