Having kids really changes the game in a lot of ways. For me to consider doing something now, its not just that I'm interested or if I have the money, I also have to make sure childcare is lined up - either my partner or a family membe

So many of the off-the-shelf hardware options linked to are out of stock or discontinued. Feels like DIY is the only way right now

> To be clear about what this isn’t: we have not integrated AI into Fastmail. There’s no chatbot bolted onto the inbox, and your mail isn’t being piped through a model in the background. The MCP server is simply another API endpoint for

The upfront costs are pretty big but over time it’s not too bad to do 3-2-1. I doubt you’ll come out on top of Google every time - there’s a reason their prices are so low, and that’s more of an incentive to leave than to save a few dollars

Many government orgs have spent the last decade and a half slowly transitioning old legacy applications and platforms to browser-based alternatives. That old ERP software that used to require a thick client? Now it runs in Chrome. Microsoft

I would probably switch off Cloudflare if I didn't also make use of their Cloudflare Tunnels service for sharing some stuff in a way that doesn't require me to punch a hole in my home network. I realize Pangolin and such also exis

A Mac Pro without external GPU support was always a dumb idea. They just made this to shut up the hard core fans who were complaining about the outdated Mac Pro in 2018.

Ente offers E2EE photo hosting, the storage they sell through subscriptions to that is their business model. Their main selling point is that all machine learning to cluster faces is done on your devices. I would assume that they want more

It’s easier than you think when you stop trying to treat it as an all or nothing move and more of a gradual migration. Fastmail makes it really easy to keep the two in sync

Author raises several good points. Why isn't the latest .NET runtime pulled down into Windows 11 devices via Windows Update? Why isn't there a better path forward for deployment? It's another example of how they have complete

Part of my focus to begin this year has been identifying cross platform replacements for any Apple native apps I still use, with a preference for open source and self hosted (where possible). The one I can't seem to fully kick is Apple

What a great trip to the past this was. I'm sure this is the rose colored glasses talking, but I do miss how video games weren't quite so mainstream in the 90s and early 2000's. Launches were smaller but felt like much bigger

Pretty obvious that Spencer was forced out and Bond (who was being groomed to take over from Spencer) was passed over, hence the resignation. At least the new XBox boss brings a lot of gaming experience from her previous role at....Instacar

I like AWS, but Organizations was something that was retrofit onto the account model versus being part of the original design. GCP had second mover advantage in this area. The way to automate provisioning of new AWS accounts requires you to

The part about account teams for AWS and GCP is very true in my experience. I could tell my AWS account team that I was hungry and they would offer to bring me a bagel in an hour. My GCP account team no-shows our cadence calls and somehow f

This is such a great comment. I think people don't realize how much harder it is to raise kids now than the 90s or even early 2000s.
