It's like going to get milk every day for 20 years, then deciding to let your sometimes reliable brother get milk for you because it's cheaper, and after they kill people in a wreck getting milk you keep on letting them get milk f

The engine available was less powerful that what is used in the UH-60, so a fly-by-wire system was devised to drop weight from the aircraft. That's clever enough of a solution I think.

Posted elsewhere, but my A/C had a small leak and was slowly loosing efficiency. At peak heat it could not keep up, but I had no way of knowing that at work. My $99 Emerson Sensi messaged me that the cooling was not keeping up and ther

I have a cheaper thermostat with wifi, a few months ago it alerted me that the temperature had been more than 5 degrees over setpoint for half an hour and something was probably broken. I was able to remotely shut off the unit and after I c

A better analogy might be a hood locked with a separate key only Apple has. Your wife wants to visit an experienced local car shop? Pound sand.

I’m fine with that being difficult. My grandmother, bless her wonderful heart, clicks on everything no matter what you tell her or do. I like being able to give her a lockeddown android device and I know that she has no reasonable way to es

You can get a USB blu-ray drive pretty inexpensively and rip a copy you own. I guess you you also just buy a blue-ray version of the movie and download a copy from any of the thousands of high-quality online sources.

Second on TJs butter. For quality to value ratio of most foods, TJs blows Costso out of the water imo, and you don't have to buy cheese in 3 lb blocks.

Agree. I use macs every day, but long has passed the time that all the mac hardware you bought was available to use however you wanted. Sorry if I sound bitter, but I've been burned by Apple arbitrarily stopping me from doing something

Hey! New dev honestly trying to learn why PHP matters at all in 2019. Is PHP something I should stop learning JS for? In all my (very limited) experience, PHP does not solve any problem JavaScript can't, and JS is also far more in dema

Maybe I'm dumb - Can anyone tell me why PHP vs JS for a "generic" web application? \In 2019 there are far far far more developers with real experience developing in Javascript vs PHP. There are obviously a lot of other factor

Apple’s warranty service is terrible compared to the alternatives like Dell. A couple years ago I had a failed key on a laptop with a service warranty. Dell had a tech in my living room with the repair parts in less than 24 hours. Apple cou

I think you are underselling yourself. Your knowledge in this area exceeds well over 90% of the market. For most people, effectively (as in, in practice) you have two choices - use FAANG services or don't use the internet. Also, and I

By default, you can't side-load applications on any android phone I've used in the last 5 years. It's not hard to turn it off, but it's also not obvious how and a consumer would have to be taken step-by-step on how to do

That’s a little misleading, if the American government wants to do some surveillance on its citizens using military resources he can do so via partnership with the CIA and the NSA or any other domestic agency that has the authority to do it

I agree with you. I do find your choice of word "decency" troubling to me. Dress codes are often about control and shame of the poor and in a prison visitors lobby that seems about right. This seems less about decency and more abo

They are talking about visitors to prisoners. See my post above, but these dress codes are what dress codes are always for - control and/or shame.

Lots of prisons have dress codes for visitors of prisoners banning visitors from certain kinds of clothing. On the banned list of items, you will never see Burberry tweed or men's sport coats, but rather t-shirts, types of shorts or ot
