   Be careful with long-term or frequent doxylamine use, especially if you’re older. It’s an anticholinergic drug, and studies have linked sustained anticholinergic use to increased dementia risk, though it’s not proven the drugs cause it. ht

   Good thing it did, I've been struggling with it for 9 months now. I'm seeing a new specialist next week.

   One problem is: a tennis elbow does not really involve inflammation... Look it up.

   Is it me or is Google's UI & graphic design becoming more and more childish (and boring at the same time) with every move they make? Not a fan. And: the Google Sans font family looks just so annoyingly "whimsical" and ou

    Please further explain what you mean. I think this is a pretty interesting and well written article, but your comment made me doubt myself.

    They wouldn't get any worse, but I assume they'd get behind really fast.

    They did not seem to succeed very well. On my M1 iPad Air and iPhone 12 mini background YT playback works mostly fine via Brave, although you might have to go to full screen first before you enter background mode.

    This might be an open door, but I use the amazing HN-reader app called Hack which offers a filter that hides posts via a list of keywords you can manage. Of course some false negatives happen this way, but I don't mind about that.

    Thanks for confirming my hunch. I'd be surprised if it would be possible to work around this.

    Thanks for creating this amazing tool. A requirement for it to work is disabling "Advanced Data Protection". What are the implications of doing this?

    Apple could sell so many Macs to Linux users looking for decent machines once they'd open up the hardware just a bit...

    I just ignore all the smart features and never connect my smart TV to the internet, and I disconnected the WiFi antennas from the main board. I use an Apple TV to feed it live TV, series and movies via apps.

    Technically, but in practice.... On top of that the production of AC's is also a factor, and there is the spilling of the refrigerant liquids that only recently became much less damaging.

    Wait... aren't AC's one of the prevalent causes of global warming, so in effect partly causing more heat related deaths? And what about stress caused by noise pollution from AC's? I think we need less units - not more.

    Thanks for the tip, I'm mostly bound to a laptop but for touch type training it could help. Any advice for a brand/model?

    I'm mostly "stuck" to my company-provided QWERTY Macbook, but interesting thought.

    Touch typing... I'm embarrassed to confess I'm still typing with just 4 fingers while keeping my eyes on the keyboard instead of the screen. Although I doubt it would require 100 hours to learn.
