I got to use one of these when I worked at printer. It ran EFI Fiery and was probably overkill for RIPing printing plates with a laser etcher.

I really enjoy the programming on Apple TV+. I've also never paid for it. Through various promotions and bundles I've had it continuously for 5 years $0 spent on it. Just purchasing Apple products over time I racked up 3-12 month

Works well for me on a Fire TV 4k Max. Not so great on the Apple TV app built into my Android Smart TV. Only Netflix appears to work consistently well on all my devices. Kudos to that team.

As someone who grew up in Miami and took many field trips to mangrove forests as a student I was unaware they weren’t indigenous to all of Florida. The article doesn’t touch on this but there are 3 species of Florida mangroves. Red mangrove

The reason was to force you into buying a new Mac. For example, the 2014 and 2015 rMBP are literally the same hardware. Same CPU, same GPU, same wifi chips. The only difference was one had a physical trackpad and the newer used a haptic tra

Same way someone is able to build a $1B social media network with a LAMP stack. I'm bootstrapping a startup and while the big player are dumping billions into sexy, expensive AI there are fundamental needs that get overlooked everyday.

I was so tempted to get one. I really liked the design and the idea of this SUV. But the price was ever so slightly out of my budget for the Ocean Ultra that I was waiting for factory incentives and lease deals to hit. What I didn't ex

In fact that is what we did. Just 50-100 pissed off residents mail and phone bombed the city until we got a response. The inspector made the excuse that he issued the permit months ago. But the filing portal had it on the day after our camp

That is not a MVP. It's also not a DP. And from your description it's not even a beta. What you have is a PoC (proof of concept). Also you should carefully screen who you expose this to. If the feedback is lukewarm you are using t

I grew up in South Florida in the 80s and 90s. I was familiar with the IBM office in Boca Raton, nicknamed T-Rex, and had a few school friends who worked at IBM on the IBM PC. From what I can remember, the Boca campus was like garden leave.

It's crazy how the US is almost the opposite. Flying in populated areas is permitted with some restrictions (airports, ports, defense) but flying over unpopulated national parks or BLM land is illegal or restricted.

Does that price include wastewater treatment? In our old home waste water was billed separately but the usage was based on your water meter. So if you poured 1000 gallons into the storm drain you were charged 1000gals of fresh water + 1000g

To show how deep this conspiracy was planted I had science textbooks in the early 90s which had a small section on manganese modules and a photo of the Glomar Explorer, the ship that was designed to explore for them. I only found out in the
