I've been using your app for a while now. I love it. It's worked flawlessly from the get-go, too. Thanks for making this! Having keys to adjust the brightness is such a blessing for my workflow.

A few times I've gone to Portland specifically for the food and for Powells. It's easy for me to lose a weekend browsing and skimming -- and when you need a little rest, there are plenty of areas to hang out and chat with whoever

Yabai is awesome. You can partially disable SIP, which I believe is required since the scripting extension needs it to interact with the dock. But you don't need to completely disable it. [1] https://github.com/koekeish

It might also be worth recording normal conversations you have around the house as a fallback. You can always cut it up later and feed it into these systems. Best of luck to the two of you. I really hope you don't ever need this techno

This could also be an excellent move if they're planning to expand RPAN into a proper streaming platform. There's definitely potential for it.

I bootcamp'd Windows LTSC on my old late 2013 MBP. Your friend's experience is similar to mine. Everything is smooth and the magic trackpad 2 works flawlessly, which used to be an issue with Windows. I won't switch back to Wi

I cannot tell you how much I love tld-list and now wee. As a recovering domain addict, I've spent an unreasonable amount of time on your sites. :) For domain hunting, tld-list is a godsend. Thank you so much for this!

are you actually banning people or using automod to automatically remove their posts? There's no benefit to banning the bad folks, since, like your guy, they just create a new account. author: name: [baddude1, baddude2]

I think a lot of people have the same experience with paper vs a device -- even an e-reader. Even if it's just a placebo, it's still valid. I had an old Kindle Keyboard (wifi.) I struggled reading off of that thing -- whereas this

It'd be worth trying out a proper ereader. I picked up a Kobo Libra so I could get back into reading and away from audiobooks a bit. I've read studies that the brain can't tell between the two, but I was halfway through an au

I spent the better part of last night comparing e-readers. I really want something that is large enough to comfortably read a magazine (PDF), but everything seems to be 7" or so. I'm with you. I can't wait until we have a pro

yeah, a printer like that would be pretty great -- and two color printing?! What more can anyone ask for? These sorts of projects are always on my mind. For a while I was looking into building what is essentially a Telex / typewriter o

I really regret not picking up a Little Printer when I had the chance. I've considered building a networked thermal printer, but its not quite the same. My dream is to have a 2" impact printer (e.g. receipt printer) for to-do, gro

The overall workflow for this app is so intuitive. Really nice work. This is perfect -- and will also be perfect for cooking large meals.

It's actually got a neat interface for finding contacts https://youtu.be/0euCWf0FpOA?t=679 The video is worth a watch. The overall use / nav is remarkable considering it only has a few buttons and a dial.

It was the next day -- but I get what you're saying. I think it ultimately boils down to persuasion and the environment. When you're surrounded by 'faith', you can pin a lot of things onto that -- much like how some folk

Yabai gives the basic i3 experience. It's not as polished, but it's pretty great once you figure out a good config. i3 has the benefit of being in an OS that doesn't use a super key for everything. For Yabai, I mapped caps as

The main struggle with reddit apps are the lack of mod tools. Only Alien Blue and Apollo have a simple method for working a queue. I still prefer Alien Blue's tools in this respect, but a lot of content fails to load with it. Apollo sh

I used to love Rocket League, but it seems like every time they make a change, it goes against the community. First they took some fun, casual games (alternate modes) and made them competitive. The competition isn't the worst, but doin

Make sure they're not for parts. All you really need is the main logic board, but it's nice to start with a complete unit. The best iPod Video is the Enhanced / 5.5 that has the 'search' item. An 80gb version of thi

It won't be $15 -- but an affordable player that is great with Rockbox is the SanDisk Clip+. It's got a decent screen, really small form factor, microSD. My main Rockbox'd unit is an iPod Video (5.5) with an iFlash Quad (up t
