I love MicroCenter. Why do they seem to be flourishing as Best Buy seems to be closing stores, reducing staff, and locking items in the back?

After trying all sorts of note taking tools and apps over the years to try to get myself organized, part of my New Year's Resolution this year was to just buy a stack of To-Do list notepads that had a spot for the date and just let me

In my experience it’s sellers who have an unrealistic view of what their stuff is worth. When I sell on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, I price my stuff to sell quickly. I’m not trying to recoup my entire investment

I used to use Pocket religiously but fell off sometime after they pushed a redesign that made it more difficult to use. I've been using Inoreader to save articles now.

It's really as simple as the fact that it's a much easier book to read, get through, and relate to than a lot of other books middle school and high school students have to read. It's not Shakespeare, it's not Dickens, it

No issues making money once they were up and running, but they needed to bootstrap somehow and therefore weren’t just owned by Jeff G from the start

Giant Bomb is a bit of a tragic tale because they essentially pioneered the idea of personality driven game streaming at a time when most video game sites were still doing the templated 5 section review. The problem is that they were a bit

Unfortunately the only change that I like is the ability to customize the bottom navigation bar on the mobile app to hide features I don't use (Notes and Files). The new selector and emphasis on Gravatars is disappointing; I understand

It's not great but when compared to the effort Sony put into the PS VR2, Meta's effort to support their Quest devices seems herculean.

Interestingly I just did this with my own reverse proxy recently; nginx proxy manager in a container running on the network of a Tailscale container on the same host, connected to a Tailscale exit node on internal network. Will take a look

Meta (and Zuckerberg) are nomads in the current tech space. They have no platform to call their own, so when a platform holder decides to turn the screws on them (like Apple with the App Tracking Transparency), they have little recourse. Th

It's a fantastic movie and Irons puts on a masterclass. I don't think I've seen Zachary Quinto in anything recently - seemed like he was huge in the early 2010s, going from Heroes to this to Star Trek

Curious, I just tried it for the first time. Install Kagi Extension for Safari from the App Store, open up Safari, go to Manage Extensions, turn it on. Then tap it in the extensions menu and accept permissions. Then it works. Not one click

I wonder how much the polarization of politics contributes to this. I have friends on opposite sides of the political spectrum than me, but were able to basically segment off that area of discussion to enjoy each others company in other are

How would you pull this off when the split seems pretty divided between city/suburban and more rural areas? Does everybody have to airlift their goods everywhere?

I could not disagree more with this piece. I actually quite like Material Design. Gmail does feel like the red headed stepchild mostly because it predates Material Design by a decade, and there are still many power user settings that rely o

Would love to see a blog post about your journey if you wrote one (or are planning to). Other resources used, key lessons along the way, etc. Scrimba looks great but surely there has to be a point where you take off the training wheels, rig

Bought a Synology in 2020, been using it for backups and Plex since then. Only recently started doing a little more with it (Immich, Kavita, etc.) Sometimes I brush up against its limitations and its annoying to me; other times I like the c

Silence from companies in terms of press releases and official statements, maybe. But almost everyone I know in the industry is somewhere between concerned and outraged over this. Another shining example in the first few months of this admi

They really did offer a lot of features that really helped productivity. Snapping windows, jump lists, having libraries act as a virtual folder for many folders, etc.

This may be slightly off topic here, but can anyone attest to how easy (or difficult) it is to sync notes off a SuperNote to some other service? I like the idea of these E-Ink tablets, but was turned off from the Kindle Scribe as it seems t

This is exactly why I left Android. If you're going to become the iPhone and cost nearly as much, I'll just buy the real thing.

Security incidents have become so common place that the fact that they happen is not the newsworthy event; rather, its how a company responds to them that is the newsworthy event. And Oracle flunked this test

I think Ente is a great service and fills a crucial role in being a photo app you don't have to self-host yourself if you're looking to distance yourself from big tech, like Google Photos. While they do offer an option to self-hos
