.... and yet the console still can't do YouTube... (sighs in frustration not for myself, but for the kids in my family, who still gravitate towards the first one to watch a video here and there)
Someone who works in an ISP - or one of the media companies which own the IP. (Or both... here in Canada, Rogers is a "wonderful" mix of both...)
One of those 4-sided ones! (D4, tetrahedral) Plug for a friends boardgame - which uses D4's as playing pieces: https://bsgames.ca/games/sinoda/
not "his" PC/Computing column, Penn Jillette's... ugh
His written blog of his long-distance ISP trials and tribulations are one of the many things that inspired me into digital radio/comms and even getting my HAM license a couple of years ago.
Exactly - these were essentially celebrity gossip columns - I was fond of his - but even more "had-to-read-every-month" was his "PC/Computing" column - which was never about PC's, nor computing - IIRC, it was mostly…
Oh the VBX > OCX transition nightmare... At the time I worked for an organization which pretty much had an unlimited budget for development and had therefore purchased just about every VBX bundle. They also had a…
Lack of response and direct human interaction is why I never pivoted to doing "online" sessions, podcasting or even online-first training sessions. As well - the fact that technical writing (in publishing at least) has…
For awhile I did the public speaking circuit - my focus was on infrastructure engineering, governance and supportability. So - I would pepper my talks with real-life scenarios and anecdotes - and alot of humour -…
... and the "at least historic" lack of "app/service" security related to this... Uh, the main site appears to be down (and most wouldn't click on the link, given it's name) - but you can read about a project here:…
(On review, I have better camera's on my current model - guess I will wait and see... "Duo Pro Max"... hahahaha) Of course, the memes are already out about how large a hand you will need to use one of these... Harkens…
Wowza... this is the first time in recent years Apple is introducing a mobile product that is a "change" from everything they have done in 10-years... (I want one... find phone screens too small, but don't want to carry…
It's "deprecated" now - service is disabled and you have to jump through hoops to get it working - and even then, it barely works with the latest SPO/M365 authentication rigamarole.
Finally within the last 1-2 years, SharePoint Online in combination with the various other M365 services (and Azure) is "pretty good". Low-code/no-code is available with SharePoint Lists (with some level of JSON…
(If those numbers are accurate, personally - I have "opinions" about the legitimacy of Trumps numbers) Also - in-my-opinion, complacency around "not voting" means tacit acceptance of whomever arrives. The lack of any…
Mostly CRUD-type data collection - or essentially what would be "Pages" in tools like SharePoint, a landing location with linked resources, text, etc. "BA's" had been building them for years before we arrived. We…
My first exposure to Lotus Notes was to work on a migration project that was moving from Notes to "Exchange WebStorage System" (WebDAV) - which was an aborted "go-nowhere" server/service which ended-up being replaced by…
Yes, "the hell" that has been our southern neighbours for quite some time, that apparently their vast majority of eligible voters prefers, or is too ignorant to understand their rapid decent into "pick one or more"…
The key difference though was that their idiot leadership was also not; malignant, fascist, mean and downright evil. In fact - they recognized that they had an issue and actually got the "smart person" involved,…
Ah - endless hours visiting my friend as a 10-year old and playing "Speed Racer". (Let me tell you, we were NOT going for the "heavenly points"...
I wonder how many of these were essentially 1-person consulting LLC's - which meant a probably higher degree of "whimsy", "sarcasm", or "whit" when naming... (and/or a little counter-culture rebelliousness thrown in…
Over the decades, I have gotten many a weird look from family, friends and strangers when I use my head for assisting carrying things - but, it works, and often lets me use either one - or both hands to stabilize the…
Also "estate sales/auctions" and/or online returns auctions. A month ago I got an entire king-size bed headboard (with storage), with cabinets on each side, and a bridge that connects the two cabinets across the top…
As a "wannabe" DIY engineer/maker and also in the 3d-printing hobby world, this is a wonderful resource...
I got about the same - then I got a power-cover and it lasts far longer, it was a worthwhile investment. Although after about 2-years, the pogo-pins are wearing out and sometimes it doesn't connect/charge. The physical…
