I’m surprised a bunch of developers don’t worry bout breaking their development systems as well. I guess docker and such has taken a lot of the pain over how things used to be. Both my audio macs are on Mojave now. I don’t think I’ll have a

What’s made in Hong Kong? iPhones and electronics? I feel like most of the stuff in my house that has a “made in X” tag says something like China, Bangladesh, or Taiwan.

Am I understanding correctly from the last paragraph that they are looking for women and trans/non-traditional gender or sexual orienting folk?

I don’t think I’ll upgrade my audio Macs for a very long time past 10.14. The fact is that after many years of recording and mixing music on computers I’ve got several older plugins that are simply not maintained anymore by the developers a

While these books sound interesting, “amazing and incredibly influential achievement” sounds more like something someone might say about a President than a sci-fi author.

I was under the impression Lithium side effects or dangers can be mitigated by monitoring blood levels properly.

Is that true everywhere or only in high-risk places like LV?

I've definitely had a lot of these thoughts before! In a way as life goes on our social networks get smaller but our lives get bigger.. I think the saying goes something like that.

They aren't really necessary. Honestly, if you aren't super worried about privacy, having a FB account just to open when you get curious and want to check in on someone (if they are an active poster) isn't so bad. It's t

Oh I'd argue the same, but I have friends who I have known for my entire life that I would consider brothers who can't even be bothered to answer a text message, so you really can't expect the same out of everyone else that y

Yeah, I haven't done any tests on this myself but the algorithm is frustrating. I see a lot of posts from people I am not that close with, but I don't really scroll the feed anymore. The only people who really like my posts are fa

You're not wrong. I guess it depends on where you are in life on how much it matters to you. Personally, I'm single and live alone, so it's nice to keep a superficial awareness of people I met in school not that many years

Understood, but you also have to remember you can't control how your friends communicate . I'd be perfectly fine communicating only via iMessage, but most of my friends have social media accounts and when I quit FB/Instagram

If you can remember your middle school classmates after 40 years, you're doing better than me after < 20 years. My dad loves Facebook, but he has no clue about security, so he isn't burdened by any of the same thoughts as you.

While I understand your sentiment, I just don't think connecting with most people by phone or in person is actually feasible. I keep direct text groups open to my immediate family members and closest friends, but I rarely text my siste

I'd use this if someone made a good one! I'm currently using Transmission on Mac, which has more than its own fair share of issues, most notably the UI freezes in any action that takes time, like moving a file across hard disks or

And now I am thankful I don’t have a vagina to maintain. I hope this isn’t a black and white issue for women; I.e. if you have a lot of sex without condoms you will get BV eventually (even with only one partner).

That’s funny. Setting timers for making coffee is actually the ONLY time I ever use Alexa or Siri. In fact, I have my one and only Echo Dot placed by my coffee setup in the kitchen.

I had an older (2013 or 14) Lenovo TS140 sitting around that I recently installed Mojave on. It took a little bit of experimentation to work out the kinks, but I've got it working almost flawlessly with a NVME drive in a PCIE adapter,

I think Reuters is generally a reliable source, but I agree with your double standard points. This was a horrible accident, but you have to realize there are probably some very bad people they intended to target and the US doesn't bl
