This is the only reason I have any experience with these apps. When MS sunset Money and compatibility started to get wonky, my in-laws were at a loss at what to do. We never did find an alternative. They do however have…
It is charming in that it has that mid 90s utility design. It is absolutely frustrating because it has that mid 90s utility design. I don't think I have seen any other utility hasnt really progressed on interface design…
This is boarder line a 'choose your own adventure' style thing. It is so stupid it had to be done!
That is a very fair assumption nowadays. I was not raised by the internet simply because I could not afford to even have it in the home until I was in my early 20's. Still remember the weeks after youtube being…
I have seen efficiency figures vary from as low as 0.1% upwards of 10% but it seems difficult to quantify. My shoot from the hip intuitive thought is that the massive amount of plant matter it took to make petroleum…
Pretty much. The only pipes in the arctic tundra are oil pipes actively trying to stop this freezing process.
I have said it many times before. You could fill a library with all the problem that BASIC leads too. But at its core is a message that is missing a little from modern computing - the ability to jump in and just get…
I had not thought of that. That is probably very likely. They can keep their public mantra of "privacy" to keep people coming to them but without the burden of tech development. Higher ups like that equation. It is…
Can we just appreciate the 3rd grader humor of the name. Like a calculator app a friend made called the 'Crapulator'. It lived up to the name but not in the same fashion as the 'wrongulator'.
These are all a very fair points. Of note at least there is no giant leap on possibility. By that I mean there isn't a step with '?' in it. But there is a big gap between what is technically possible and what is…
As an aside, immunotherapy is pretty neat stuff. My fathers bladder cancer is in remission thanks to it. Yes, there are still some issues being worked out (possibility to cause diabetes) but it is just neat to see in…
Death by thousand paper cuts in action. I love Firefox (fork) it is my only browser but you can see the long term trend and I do wonder if it will even be a thing in a decades time. Unless there is a sudden shift…
It has been said that "Publish or Perish" would make a good tomb stone epitaph for a lot of modern sciences. I speak to a lot of people in various science fields and generally they are some of the heaviest drinkers I…
It is also frustrating when a papers summary says one thing, you pay for the full thing only to see it is a complete opposite of the claims. Waste of time and money, bleh!
I suspect eventually Elon is going to sell Twitter to Tesla under the guise of combining their AI research. Cue Obama awarding Obama a medal meme. Just a shoot from the hip theory based on him stooping to new lows.
This is no surprise. Look up how Scott Kelly described his experience coming back after a year on the ISS. https://www.snexplores.org/article/how-year-space-affected-s...
This one thing that I love about GNU/Linux - giving older hardware a life time WAY beyond what was originally intended. Typed on a 2009 Core 2 Duo Thinkpad.
Reminds me of how casinos in Vega hate when there are conference events on for science heavy crowd or skeptics groups. The guests know that gambling is a bust so they spend almost nothing on gambling and just use the…
There is a level of annoyance when these things pop-up after about 10-15 seconds due to, what feels like, an entire OS of Java script coming along for the ride to make it happen. But other than that it is a very minor…
Thank you for actually advocating for the most rational and realistic response to this situation. While one cannot expect peace from this, it is better to be in open communication than to be left to create images of…
I always appreciate these stories about how very specific observations that most people would miss can give away far deeper details of the universe that many wouldn't even consider. Eratosthenes using shadows and…
OLED do burn in but it take a LOT of time. Here is the OLED Switch that has 18,000 hours of static screen time. Yes, it has burned in but on the most extreme situation possible.…
I was about to say. Phones were not allowed and this was when the 3310 was the peak of mobile tech to have! This is Melbourne Australia.
Dick Bartolo one of the writers for Mad used to host The Giz Wiz on twit.tv. It was a daily review of all kinds of random gadgets that come up, it looked to be a life long fascination with those advertisements in the…
Complete opposite experience here, my grandad had a subscription to it! Not sure what happened to the decades of them because they were all gone by the time he passed.
