I've been driving a rental Model 3 with FSD for the past day - for the first time - and totally agree. And after a day's experience, it's obvious it needs to be watched. It's an amazing capability but there are clearly s

I live in the forest in rural norcal and everything you say rings true. We had a huge fire come within 3 miles of us last year. This year's obviously going to be just as bad given the prolonged dry winter. The neighborhood is aggressiv

Yes. Bungie was an independent studio back in the 90's, then MS acquired them for Halo. Bungie split from MS in 2007; the Halo IP remained behind under 343. They were under Activision during the Destiny era until 2019. So if they staye

Therapy is the best for this kind of thing. Strongly recommended. I delayed therapy for years, thinking it was for people with "major psych problems" when really, you're just learning how to identify and manage your emotions.

Your English is great! It sounds like you liked authentication/authorization; perhaps consider IT security / CISSP? You will have to endure some degree of printer cartridge-type work in your early years, no matter what, especiall

Mid-life here - I can appreciate you're probably feeling frustrated and a bit lost. I think this is normal at times, especially early on in our careers. Working in tech / IT can be grueling, particularly entry-level roles. Operati

More broadly I think this speaks to the power of defaults. I recently had a family member lose everything (house fire) including all of his iDevices. He thought he'd lost the photos on them - he didn't even know he had iCloud back

Helium is ultimately independent of LoRaWAN though - it's now expanding to other protocols i.e. CBRS.

I've also been using HEY for a year of personal email, and just renewed my subscription. I spend a lot of time organizing and managing email at work. I have multiple inboxes, hundreds of tags, filter rules etc. When I tried HEY for my

As a former Glass user, agreed on the need for FOV. While amazing, current AR doesn't feel like "augmented reality", it feels like "tiny transparent phone screen in your eye".

As someone who struggles with seasonal depression as well, but who also wakes up early and starts his day early, DST is my enemy for all of the reasons you love it. I'd prefer no DST. I think we can't "win" with time-

The intent of "Wi-Fi 6" is to start versioning Wi-Fi numerically (i.e. the next major rev will be Wi-Fi 7) instead of the IEEE's ever-lengthening 802.11 alphabet soup. It's just a coincidence that we're also talking

I spent two years with a fantastic psych in the bay who studied under Burns. She used a combination of 50% ACT, 50% Burns CBT and it was very impactful. Workbooks for homework were The Happiness Trap and the Feeling Good Handbook. Fundamen

In a similar situation - year 5 of remote, now living in a small town still working for big tech. It does get lonely and you have to manage this yourself. Volunteering with an organization you care about is a great way to combat this. The

The original iPhone was 2G, not even 3G (I owned one, along with a Palm Treo). I built Wi-Fi networks at the time, and suddenly we were inundated with iPhone users who were frustrated with the 2G speeds. OP author doesn't seem to know

IMHO you need a good workflow and as few tools as possible. It sounds like you're using many different tools. Is there a reason for that? Do you have a workflow you routinely use? Suggestion: Treat one tool as your "canonical&
