I am in need of an upgrade but having a harder and harder time justifying the expense for what is a hobby. I guess eventually my system will be old enough that I will be better off just ordering a prebuilt, where I'll get gouged a bit

I've tried starting to journal a few times using an app like Day One, but reading this makes me feel a physical, handwritten journal that could be left behind for family may ultimately be a better option

This is why I've always been so reluctant to drop big money on a Macbook. I feel like I'm chained to that AppleCare, whereas on a PC I can probably try to service it myself

I find myself pushing off macOS updates far more often than I do Windows updates. They seem to take far longer and I feel like it's a black box as to what's really going. If I have it hooked up to an external monitor, there's

1Password is going after the enterprise market, and an Electron app makes it easier for them to support multiple platforms as well as chasing that market. https://support.1password.com/secrets-automation/ https:/

I don't think people are worried about multiple nation states framing them with CSAM photos - they're worried about multiple nation states in an intelligence collaboration poisoning both sets of hash lists with non-CSAM material,

I was a very early Dropbox adopter but eventually switched to OneDrive a few years back because they bundled Office 365 with 1 TB of storage. I just went and looked at the official Dropbox plans to see if there was a family plan similar to

This comment resonates a lot with me. Over the years, I realized that while I may not know the most in some areas, the fact that I am able to communicate what I do know clearly and efficiently often makes up the difference. You quickly lear

I agree with all of your points - I'm okay with their sub model, I'm okay with Electron and it's the first time I was able to convince family members to use a password manager (because it works so well)

Title doesn't represent what the blog post is actually about. And even if it did, a tool like Terraform is just the latest iteration of what we've been doing for years already for things like shell scripts. The difference is that

That is still one of the most mind boggling decisions I've seen. You launch a new smartphone platform to compete with two rivals that already have a head start, and then you intentionally wipe away all your progress so you can start ev
