It has been obvious to me for a long time that the people using the term woke now don't even have a concrete definition of the term, but I was still blown away by the sheer stupidity and obliviousness of one of those right wing people

Also, how do you mask your identity if you self-host? I can have as many mailboxes as I want but they're all trivial to correlate because they share a domain that isn't providing email accounts to large amounts of users. And then

Yes! The edges of my large, flat monitor feel like they are curved outwards. It's certainly not a huge deal, but next time I get a monitor this large I'll be going with curved to counteract that effect.

That was a concern when I had an ultrawide monitor. Fortunately I remote into work and the screen share happens on that remote side. So whenever I had to screen share, I would take Citrix Viewer out of full screen and size the window to my

I have a 32 inch flat display and I actually do think it would have been better with a bit of a curve. It would help keep the distance of all points of the screen from me more consistent. If I sat another couple feet back from the display,

Again? Phishing is a constant threat. And it's easy to fall for them because you only need to drop your guard once to become a victim. Stress, tiredness, or intoxication can all contribute to even someone who thinks they're good a

I was thinking some sort of classification as a charity, but getting paid as a consultant is probably a more realistic way of making it work since it can be done without any changes to the laws regarding charities.

If you complain a knife crushing your food because you're holding it upside down, it's good for everyone else to know that context. Because anyone who is using it with the sharp side down can safely ignore that problem rather than

I love debuggers but yeah conditional breakpoints are pretty bad. I tend to need to conditionally break when the same code is being called repeatedly with different inputs where only one of them causes the problem. The conditional breakpoin

Or install SponsorBlock. One of the things people can submit other than sponsor segments is the most interesting point in the video. Basically, whatever is teased in the thumbnail or what directly answers the question posed in the video tit

That's what I do. But heck, that's what I've always done. In the 90 and 00s I would have the TV on while I was messing around on the PC, playing my Game Boy, or heck even while doing homework.

Then don't get the Air?? The iPhone 17 is normal phone thickness. Or you can go for the iPhone 17 Pro which is extra thick and which Apple specifically called out as having their largest battery in an iPhone ever.

Is it really that incorrect? Flash memory is persistent storage. Memory cards used to be how game saves were stored on consoles. The M in ROM stands for memory. So it seems like we're using the term memory too narrowly, rather than the

What's also frustrating is not knowing if I've walked into an area that is hard because I'm not really supposed to be there yet or if it's hard because I'm just trash at the game. I ran in circles for way too long a

I really appreciated that TUNIC had infinite stamina and infinite life options under the accessibility settings. I would not have completed the game without the infinite stamina. And that would have been unfortunate because the way the game

How do people even identify degraded output when the output for the same input can change so much each time its submitted?

After nearly being phished once (only having a confirmation email save me) I've taken to being extra vigilant if I don't get a password entry suggestion from my password manager. It means I need to be extremely damn sure I'm

> My take? Use them as a serialization and interchange format, nothing more. Isn't that exactly what they're intended for? I'm confused how anyone would even think to use them any other way.

Gemini also loves to say how much it deeply regrets its mistakes. In Cursor I pointed out that it needed to change something and I proceeded to watch every single paragraph in the chain of thought start with regrets and apologies.

Interestingly, there don't seem to be limitations the other way around. I saw a video of someone running a USB-C extension cable into the dock and using that to hook up a Steam Deck to it. It seemed to be fully capable and interestingl

I'm surprised that would even reach 1 TB. The discs only hold 1.46 GB. Though I guess the number of game discs images you'd have would depend on if you have each region's version of each game.

Holy cow that headline was hard to parse. Feels like the company and product name need to be in quotes or something.

Because the lighting in the photos simply make no sense. Look at how many florescent light tubes there are. The place should be much brighter and whiter.

My venture outside of MacBooks included a Dell XPS. Supposed to be their high end, and that year's model was well reviewed by multiple sources.... yet I returned it after like a week. The fan would not only run far too often but the so

I like the wrench and the only icon that feels particularly unclear to me is the one for Disk Utility. Expansion Slot Utility is also a bit non-obvious, but the old one was even worse since there was just a small image of a Mac Pro slapped

I was hoping for so long that Logitech would make a wireless version of the G600, but instead they killed it. I'm begrudgingly using a wireless Razer Naga now. It's pretty crappy though because it doesn't have onboard profile

The only thing that is making this creepy is the color grading on the photos. Here's the first video I found of the station, which shows the stairs and the platform are well-lit https://youtu.be/V3vYuMdCsqs?t=557

And even if you're scared of them removing the ability to restore for free, they released code to handle the new mrimgx format under the MIT license: https://github.com/macrium/mrimgx_file_layout

I was messing around with a Framework laptop about a year ago and was amazed at how awful trackpad support is. If the default acceleration curves are going to be garbage, at least give me an easy way to edit them. Dealing with a config file
