I'm not seeing any shout-outs to MSWLogo! I loved being able to create dialog boxes and UIs! Also, The Great Logo Adventure is a great book for kids learning Logo. It's what I learned with, and it's available as a free…
Cloudflare is simply following the time-honored trajectory: 1. Good company starts, with good service and mission 2. Because company has good service and mission, company grows to control a majority of the market 3.…
It was instituted after Tenerife where hundreds died because of this exact same problem. I'm pretty sure it's FAA policy, but not 100% on that.
Last time a custom Android distro (CyanogenMod) made a deal with a manufacturer, everything went belly-up. I have little faith that the same won't happen again. :-(

Our elections are beyond broken and untrustworthy. The fix is easy, but nobody will go for it: Nothing but in-person paper ballots, except for demonstrated necessity, and in those cases they must be hand-delivered by a…

We can't do any of that because it is forward-thinking and doesn't involve clear-cutting a rainforest to make the stacks of paperwork that are otherwise required to fill out forms in triplicate, run everything through…
Where is all this love for coaster brakes coming from?! They are, IMHO, one of the worst brakes ever. They have caused me numerous spills and scraped knees (due to the rear wheel locking up and skidding out from under…
Easy solution; design a system with backdoors, implement it in some banking or other system the people at the top use, compromise said backdoor and release all the private info of those arguing for the backdoors. Things…
I love it. A couple notes: - This is about 10x a real defrag speed - WAAAY too fast - IIRC the "Data that will not be moved" was typically lumped at the beginning of the drive, not spread out all over.
And here I am, thinking I discovered "glueballs" in elementary school when we were given rubber cement to use.
Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not here, but sitting next to each other in the same room isn't the same as spending time together. I can sit with my butt touching someone else's on the subway for an hour, but…
TBF, a solid 50% of regulation is probably government overreach. The problem is that it's intrinsically tangled with the other 50% (crossing various specializations/laws/departments) that isn't; you can't undo one…
15s is enough to book it to a close stairwell in some cases. I used to work in a dodgy building in the city. Any time one of those shake alerts hit, I would sprint to the stairwell and everyone would look at me funny.…

Kodi isn't a media server. Plex isn't FLOSS. Emby is what Jellyfin was forked from, and barely classifies as FLOSS anymore, and isn't as popular as Jellyfin from what I can tell. There isn't really anything else that I…
You couldn't until this release. :-P
A user-agent spoofer will help with most of those "Chrome required" websites.
I love the way Kagi does AI - it defaults to a regular search, but if you add a question mark to the end, it will give you an AI answer. Additionally there is a small "quick answer" button at the top of all results that…
> I will not pay for the same game twice. I firmly disagree with that point. If the game is well-made and enjoyable, the developer probably deserves some extra cash thrown their way. Games remain one of the best…
I'm pretty sure the phone number was just printed on the manual back then... Many games back then had a phone number printed in the manual.
If you are really concerned with that, you should take a first stab at it, then ask AI to proofread it for you and change the tone if necessary. I have no problem with that; thinking was still done by a human, you just…
The AI note taker we use at work records the meeting as well, and each note it takes about the meeting has a timestamp link that takes you directly there in the recording so you can check it yourself. While I'm sure a…
