I'm with you on quitting alcohol for the kids. Even though you may not have had that much, health benefits are definitely there. Especially for any older parent to young kids, taking steps to optimise your own longevity is pretty much

I manage a Discord server for a few friends, topics are gaming related (DCS World primarily, but also Star Citizen and iRacing) - could easily be other hobbies. I have structured the channels to support the learning journey that DCS is. I a

Yep. I think this is something that they could seriously improve on - not blending all usage scenarios into just one.

Spotify should still be able to realise when something completely outside of the normal is played. Maybe as a different listening mode, eg "Kids party" - and keep them separate.

Grew up with copious amounts of Norwegian cow milk - and zero allergies. :) Back then we were free roaming kids as opposed to today, where I now am in Melbourne Aus and it's very very different. However, neither of my children have pic

Check the router? On my ubiquity unify cloud key admin I can track what devices are connected. Also there's a test page that you can print which should detail the IP address. It could be that the printer got new IP address and your PC

Shilling? Yeah, I spent nearly a decade here on HN, building up to the moment of my above post. Got me.

Searched for a Brother comment to reply to - found it, thanks! :-) I don't do a lot of printing, but when I do it's for a real need and I just want it to work. So I got another HL-L2375DW (mono full duplex laser) last year to repl

My son's now 4 year old Samsung S10-5G (my old phone) is still getting updated. It is a flagship phone, the first with 5G - will be interesting to see how long they do it. Google and Samsung appear to be on the same page; I think the f

Samsung's security update model is 4/5 years. I expect mine (a very high performing S21Ultra) to be 5+ years. https://security.samsungmobile.com/workScope.smsb My son uses my old S10-5G (the world's first pre

I watched a dating show episode, Updating, on YouTube. At one point the fact that the guy was using an Android and not an iPhone was a major "ick" (point of revulsion) to the audience and the (otherwise stunning) female contestant

Wasn't a heavy drinker by a long shot but still decided to quit nearly 3 years ago. Solid decision. I'm 50 now, I certainly feel better overall now than then. If I'm tired in the morning it's only because I went to bed t

Isn't the whole scene like a memory from an unreliable witness, who (gasp) didn't like Bruce Lee? From that point of view it makes perfect sense. I thought it was hilarious myself, and however "correct" or not did establ

I just read it for the first time, without any spoilers. It took me a second, then I had to laugh loud out at the legendary piss-take at display. Wonderful.

Docker on WSL2 runs incredibly well. I love their Terminal as well, it's perfect for Ubuntu things. So yeah I'm on Windows, but I'm also on Linux. :D

Yep exactly this. VSCode lets you set a "Title Bar Style" setting to "native", but that was a seriously hard find. It would blend into Teams, where only a hideous "high contrast" mode would render borders. The

This quoted lap time would be from the 2017 FK8; it was seriously impressive, especially in my books. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Civic_Type_R I eventually ended up with an electric car instead (Tesla LR3), b

And the 2023 was a stripped down version only available in Europe as well, that + the track change is why I looked up the 2017 numbers to compare properly.

My personal bugbear (on top of the whitespace) in Windows 10 is how you cannot enforce application borders anymore. Every second application wants to do its own thing, "for aesthetics". I absolutely hate it. All the app windows ju

I forgot to say these were Nordschleife lap times. It's about a serious test of both driver and car as you get.

Side comment, but I think you may underestimate the Civic (Type R). Of course the C7 is still on top, but still.. Both in 2017: 7:13.9 - Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06 Christian Gebhardt. 7:43.8 - Civic Type R, Honda didn't name the driver.

Yep, 16GB today is truly the 4GB of 2012. (It's super lightweight though, to the point where it's impossible to know if I've packed the laptop in my bag by weight alone. Hopefully it'll see an upgrade soon.)
