My 15 year old Sony LCD TV is built like a brick, and has never had an issue (nor a firmware update). Meanwhile, my 6 month old Sony OLED Smart TV has given me nothing but grief. Recently had to replace the entire OLED panel — understandabl

I used to love playing my family Atari 2600 as a 5 year old kid. Here’s the same Atari, 40 years on (in original condition) being played by my own 4 and 5 year old kids! https://twitter.com/sunpazed/status/13328329

Great work! There’s a typo on the 6502 page, DNC should be DEC for the Accumulator. Started coding asm on the c64 as 10 year old kid. Would have loved resources like this! https://github.com/hackclub/some-assembly-requi

I forgot to mention, there is no sounds, no jingle, no logo when operating the television — which is refreshing given that my LG and Samsung appliances are constantly jingling for my attention and engagement.

I recently purchased a Sony A90J after owning a “dumb” TV for over a decade. I was pleased to see that there was a “TV only” option that did not require me to use any of the “Smart” TV features. In fact, given I can control the TV through m

What an awesome explainer! I love mechanical watches. I have a relatively cheap Stowa Antea which runs a simple hand-wound Peseux/ETA 7001. It’s so thin, the entire watch is less than 7mm thick. All of what you see in this explainer is

I’ve been building free Garmin apps and watch-faces since 2016. Any developer can download the ConnectIQ SDK and freely publish an app or watch-face in the Garmin App Store. Does not require any license to build, install or publish an app.

Congratulations and nice work! I build a baby-name webapp when we were expecting our second child a few years ago. Random rolls were fun and filter by rarity, etc http://peanutapp.herokuapp.com/

As a 43 year old, I’ve been using Discord to collaborate within a small developer community across Europe and the United States (I’m in Australia). Since the pandemic, we’ve done more than code — supporting one another in our various COVID

Wow! This is great. Reminds me a pop-up book from 1984 (which I still own) https://youtu.be/2NueRKhEwvY The pop-up models were awesome, and explained the inner workings of a digital computer. It’s how I learnt to count in b

Tech similar to this already exists. My rear bike light is also a radar that informs me of oncoming traffic. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/601468 It works really well, but requires the cyclist to assess t

I’ve used Gatsby for generating my wife’s static blog. It’s as simple as adding a new Markdown file, and building. The React workflow makes customising layouts and interactions much easier for those familiar with the ecosystem. For anything

My iPhone XR has better performance than both my 15" and 13" Macbook Pro laptops. Quick, someone put a A13 Bionic in a real machine.

Ornamentation vs function is as old an argument as when humans began crafting objects. I would argue not a decline but a phenomenon that ebbs and flows over time — check out this NYT article from over a decade ago https://www.nyt

I have a $1200 Garmin smartwatch on my wrist, which will likely need to be replaced in 3 years time. With that same money, I could have purchased an entry-level ETA Swiss-made automatic watch, that would last me a lifetime. I’m lucky enough

As a keyboard jockey, you’re liable to get RSI, as I did — as such, I’ve been using a fountain pen for nearly 20 years. You use much less pressure when writing, and it’s great using a pen that you don’t have to throw away. My two Lamy 2000’

I have my original A600 (1993) and C64 (1986) — great hardware that captured the imagination of a young kid. I still have fond memories, fooling around and coding games (my parents were too cheap to buy me more than a few retail games)

Totally unrelated, but I couldn’t help notice that the OP shared an “old.reddit.com” URL. Glad to know it’s not just me that hates the new Reddit UX.

Have been using xsv (in combination with any-json, and jq) for a few months wrangling big csv files at work. Found it to be a better / faster process than rolling my own code.

I personally own the 2014 15" MBP — and would agree with the post. My work–issued 2017 13" MBP requires 2x dongles to run a dual screen setup — at a total cost of $240 — which is just ridiculous. And I have to carry one everywhe

Nice work! Looks tempting... until you realise you need to integrate your service with a whole heap of other platforms. Or build scale. Classic Build vs Buy — are you building a core capability in your product, or are there more important t
