If you ever need to replace that MDF, try this: https://epoxytops.com/phenolic-resin-countertops/ I'm using it for my next workbench top.

They're _excellent_ for wiring devices into junction boxes in construction; particularly when connecting the higher gauge luminaire wires of an overhead light to romex. For some reason they're polarizing among electricians in the

These infections are a huge problem. My neighbor missed 2 _years_ of college recovering from a C. diff infection. And you are correct: fecal transplant is the way, for now. Per the article, these bleach (sodium hypochlorite) resistant spore

Yours is the correct answer (B&W laser). Ours reports 8,620 pages successfully printed. The laser cartridges last an absurd amount of pages, and they don't dry out. I've had to replace our Brother printer's feeder cam lev

Am I the only one who never gives out their real phone number? I give the same fake one to every single business that asks for it, including CC verification stuff on websites. Never had a problem, and really seems to cut down on junk calls.

Hmm. If you are saying we are all interconnected, relying on the diverse resources, products, and gifts from around this small planet to do the things we want to do, e.g. care for our sick, advance the common good, protect the vulnerable, p

Also not OP, but another yes to Synology - I have also found them to be worth it. I've been running mine (DS1517+) for 5.5 years continuously now. I wirelessly back up my Macs and then use Backblaze B2 for offsite backups of that. I&#x

I too have noticed this. I believe the Dark Sky website and app will continue to become less accurate... I think the explanation is (somebody who knows more please correct me): Dark Sky's technology was acquired by Apple and integrated

Thank you! You are correct. Off to my friendly local Apple.

Not to make this my personal tech support but... I thought my 2017 model was 'vintage' status and not repaired at Apple anymore? I'll see what I can find out...

Caveat: repair now available for Mac Notebooks "with the M1 family of chips" - this is reasonable, I think. However, I do feel badly because I have a 2017 with a noisy fan that needs to be replaced, but I don't think I'l

God, this is such a good point. This gap between scheduled hours (~20) versus expected dictation of 'available' hours (~40) is one of the things powering the obnoxious "side hustle" idea...

I wish your comment had more upvotes -- it is an accurate critique of both the journalism and the chief problem. Thank you.

Since I don't listen to much music on my phone, I've actually taken in a step further: my Apple Music local library music files are stored in a .sparsebundle on my NAS. I wrote a little Obj-C app to automatically mount and unmount

Energy Recovery Ventilators or Heat Recovery Ventilators are absolutely essential (and, I think, part of code in many places!) in this era of tight and sometimes extraordinarily tight (e.g. Passivhaus) home building. When we bought our home

I've thought along those lines as well. I don't know if this helps clarify, but I did learn, for example, FedEx is actually quite strong without Amazon: "Last year [2018], Amazon accounted for 1.3 percent of FedEx’s total rev

I think what people do right now is an always-on Mac Mini with external drives connected. The Mac Mini strategy introduces a failure point at the USB->hard drive connection. Pretty low-maintenance, until the $3 USB thingy dies! Apple&#x2

Look, I realize this is a meta point: but has anyone else noticed how TYPICAL the discussion in TFA is at the official Apple support forums? The atmosphere is absolutely poisonous there, in the strangest passive aggressive way -- every time

I can't think of a better way to actually maintain a clear understanding of what's going on at a place like Shopify. Good memory: Lutke's blog is responsible for a lightbulb moment of mine back in 2007, regarding cache invali

External VDIs -- that's exactly my use-case, but I've stayed back on Mojave. Any bug page I should follow to see if this gets resolved for Catalina?
