I was a Trello Gold user before they added the Enterprise tier. They seem to have completely forgotten Gold exists because all of their new features are Enterprise-only. I ended up just going back to a free plan.

I got a Dot for $40 a few months ago and liked it so much I got a second one at amazon.com/alexadeals for $20. Already had two alarm clocks with Bluetooth speakers built-in, so very quickly I gained a full-coverage voice assistant for

My wireless issues directly correlate to my power bill here in Florida. The more the AC runs, the more it overheats and fails me. It's smooth sailing once the temperature drops, though.

A common idiom is "not know whether to laugh or cry", which usually means a situation is extremely bad. I don't really know how that applies to having a birthday party a week after you announce you're quitting, though.

> This makes for an awkward cupcake ceremony where you’re not sure whether to smile or to laugh. "I don't know whether to smile or laugh" isn't a very powerful expression.

Edge's right-click menu is a joke. It has to be a joke, right? Every so often I'll decide get my feet wet in Edge, maybe login to a few websites, and then I hit right click and it's right back to Chrome/Firefox.

The other day I downloaded project files from somebody and extracted it to my Dropbox folder before realizing it had a node_modules folder... crashed Dropbox on every single computer I had attached to it. I have to do the full Git remote re

I've started building a document with my uBlock filters to sync between browsers because of auto-playing videos and static divs covering a third of my screen in web apps. I am now actively involved in enhancing my web experience rather

I saw their logo recently in Font Awesome and was surprised they included it. I thought Yahoo shut it down years ago. I guess I just jumped ship and never looked back; that name is forever tainted for me.

The top HN comment on this article is about how music teachers that focus on form and fundamentals are ruining young musicians' desire to learn. To me, your comment is the ultimate rebuttal of that. Guitar is quite easy to play wrong;

I can only guess that Black Mirror coming to Netflix is the first time a lot of people have ever seen decent science fiction. Before that it was what, Battlestar Galactica?, which is basically a soap opera with b-roll of a spaceship.

At this point in the internet, it's almost a given that any single link you click is going to have an auto-playing video and 5 MB of JavaScript tracking scripts.

Isn't this better? I know at my company we'd rather a person unsubscribe rather than delete without reading or god-forbid mark it as spam. Saves us money.

What's the story behind this blog? It just occurred to me that the domain is for the developers of Firewatch; are the authors of the articles employees of Campo Santo?

Most games would just show a cutscene of you sliding down a hill and then give control back to you once you got to the bottom, but TR forces you to use the controller a few times and shows you an awesome death sequence if you don't. I

I wonder what a video like this does for the first impression from an employer's point of view. ITT Tech was viewed as cheap because their commercials played in the cheapest time slots, alongside adult hotlines and As Seen on TV ads. I

I was a fan before it came to US Netflix, and was thrilled to get home and watch it on Friday. Unfortunately, that first episode was painful to watch, but I realized why when the closing credits didn't have Charlie Brooker as the write

Creating a C9 environment takes just a few seconds and once that's done I can work anywhere. It takes all of that setup away. I can create one at work to screw around with a Node module, go home and play with it more on my desktop, mov
