As someone with ASD/ADHD (professionally diagnosed), and with two children (one diagnosed the same so far), let me just say I'm somewhat taken aback by this. I hear you say you have ADHD yourself - each case is different and such,

That's brilliant, and so funny because it's true. I've been wondering why we haven't really had any advances in our voice commands for nearly a decade - things like zooming and such are actions I've long wanted to b

That's an awesome setup; congrats on your results, and great to hear how it's affecting all aspects of your life. That desk chair is a slow killer unless combined with workout routines. (If you haven't already, have a look at

Little Bloke Fitness in Reservoir! They are absolutely awesome, very good, local product for a reasonable price. Most of my gear was 360 Strength. - 360 Strength Heavy Duty Squat Rack, with spotter bars. - 360 Strength Olympic EZ Curl

I'm in the 2nd half of my 40s. Spending the equivalent of a top end smartphone (eg S21 Ultra 512) just over two years ago got me a fully fitted garage gym: - squat rack - 8 sqm proper rubber gym mats - a solid flat bench - 20

Fair point. I guess he should have said: "I never go solo flying without my jump rig" instead of "I never go flying without my parachute".

I saw your post got a down vote, however for eg any given webcam, the best way to improve your video for your mmeetings is likely not to upgrade the camera but to invest in better lighting (eg a couple of key lights) and optimise your visua

This. My Corsair H150i Pro AIO water cooler and decent airflow case (Define 7 W/Corsair ML140s) allows me to run my Ryzen 3900XT at 4.4ghz constantly, all cores, for any kind of real life workload. Good luck trying that with a laptop.

One more thing, play it at 0.25x speed at 4:03 - then frame by frame it (double tap) until you see the hip mounted altimeter - white clock with a red "pie". It's visible for a few frames.. just, gold. (If his left hand has fi

Look at 3:33 into the video, about where he's about to ditch it. It's easy to identify the Y shaped delta of the mountain ridges just 2 clicks north of the Manzana School Camp , with the plane travelling westwards. 34.8081872, -1

I somehow get the feeling the cross section of Guardian/HN readers and the kind of people likely to jump into a site like this isn't exceedingly large.

Concerta is a godsend, so is actually discovering you've got ADHD - as answers on what was "wrong" with you your whole life will be found. I would encourage the OP to investigate this; the hyper focused mind can achieve great

Yes! Never thought of it from a scientific point of view, so this is very interesting to see. Agree with your statement.

I agree. What a Series X (what we've got, can't talk to PS5 as I haven't seen it) can output is just mind boggling when considering the price. Sure my AUD $6K PC is faster (with a multi core overclocked Ryzen, and 3070, fast

Thanks for those insights! Having the display time out just adds insult to injury. I saw someone made a script to send commands to it every 60 seconds, essentially keeping it on, but that also would then disable normal power saving function

Thanks! That's an interesting perspective, and helps explain how it's lasted as long as it has when bought with own money and cared for as a personal laptop. Great to hear you managed to salvage yours from liquid sugar! Most lapto

The keyboard replacement was the biggest improvement to me in the latest MacBooks. I'm not an Apple person but I do like to keep tabs. Tried the butterfly keyboard and hated it so, so much - and that's not even touching on the fun

The engineering of the X1 Carbon is amazing. Durability is a design goal, it even has channels for directing liquid ingress away from the most vulnerable parts. Whilst not a guarantee against failures, it certainly doesn't hurt! My own

I'd say that's a good rhetorical question rather than a troll. It's designed to make a statement, rather than elicit information. (Ref Oxford Languages).

Editorial desks still exist? Saying this in jest, but there was a time when this was highly respected and I feel that the number of places that have them must be diminishing quickly - or a shadow of their former pasts.

The size, backlight (uniformity, temperature) and resolution of the new Gen 11 is truly something to behold. I had the first Paperwhite (as well as the big old DXG), and was half a year into the Gen 10's Paperwhite; the jump between th
