I have come away from Christmas with almost the opposite conclusion. I have 3 young kids, and I notice almost an inverse correlation between the number of toys around and how contently they play. The ideal number of toys is non-zero, but my

This title is misleading (or at least it doesn't correspond to the article content). According to the article, Version is having an outage. AT&T and T-Mobile are fine. Their only issue is that they can't reach Version (because

I feel I should point out that USPS has a lower rate for postcards (currently $0.61), so the threshold might be a bit lower. I know that this is tongue-in-cheek and would be pretty funny to receive, but it isn't an apples-to-apples com

Not at all related to the article, but I think this is the first time I have seen a page modify its contents based on the referrer site. If you click the link (and your browser uses the "Referer" header), it will have a blurb at t

I think that the medieval art article is making a different point. The art there had a style that was dictated by its purpose and the beliefs of the artists. For example, most of the examples given in that article are illustrations from man

I am using a raspberry pi pico with a modified pico-cec program to control my Jellyfin-client media PC. CEC is actually really fun to hack on, and once you get a custom setup working, it is (at least in my experience) rock solid. Jellyfin e

It looks a little bit like a tempest in a teapot to me, but I'm impressed with their community guidelines. That thread got an exception to allow for more discussion, and it even permits "Critiques of Framework as a company" a

I think it also gives it a better chance as an experiment. The federal government tends to pendulum swing between left and right on a fairly short cycle. Most states seem to be considerably more stable and less prone to trying to revert pol

I don't get your point. This article is about control of the high level software running on your phone, not the firmware controlling your phone's radios. Even if an app store allowed any software without filter, this would not all

To make that analogy closer to the Internet reality, I would say that Internet tracking is more like a cabal of shop-keepers, librarians, neighbors, utility pole workers, and so on who are keeping track of all the faces, all their habits, w

Dithering is still more important than is commonly known, even with 24-bit "true color". For example, imagine that you had a gradient that goes from white to black across a 1920x1080 monitor. 24-bit color means you only have 256 l

The title is confusing since FUSE is not a network filesystem. It can be used as a "frontend" for multiple different network filesystems (as used in sshfs and smbfuse). There is even a fuse-nfs project to allow you to run a NFS cl

You can pay for Google services. But even if you pay for Google One or YouTube premium, I'm sure that Google will still track your behavior and mine your data. Why would a company not "double-dip"?

I am disappointed to see that the QR code is completely replacing the panic messages. There is plenty of room on most monitors to have a stack trace on one side and the QR code on the other. I probably won't be enabling this on my mach
