I recently started working as a custodian at a motorsport track, and it blows my mind how many recyclable drink containers are just tossed in the trash bin, even if there's a blue recycling bin right next to it. Where are people's conscience? Con…

Time is ripe to completely rethink what a "computer" is. I hope to see Apple continue moving away from "appliance-like" computers and into more modular computing. Imagine a decade-long strategy where the Mac mini is sold as a module. Next year, ad…

I'm a bit confused why this is a browser fix and not a lower system-level fix? I've installed the update on macOS and can still access 0.0.0.0 since I have nginx running locally. It just loads the default nginx splash page. The article says that Sa…

Must admit that Google is winning with this one. Great industrial design. And thank you to the editors for the country-specific currency mentions. It's been increasingly frustrating to have articles written mentioning price, but without mentioning…

Never heard of Loom. I much prefer QuickTime Player for recording the screen. It might not have any fancy features, but it works great. Just wish it was easier to convert to other file formats.

I wouldn't subscribe to Grammarly on its own, particularly since the interface appears to be somewhat non-native. That always grinds me. But I would subscribe to Grammarly if it was an add-on for Apple Intelligence. That's the greatest opportunity f…

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. In other words, use their hardware to achieve your success. Smart move.

twolf2919 said: Not a very convincing article. The author has no evidence that Apple is actually readying a ring. Sure, Apple has been filing patents for ring-like devices for years, but it does that even when it has no current plans for o…

Can't exactly afford a Vision Pro at $5000 CAD, but I can definitely see myself using these environments to escape the surrounding world and get some work done on my Mac.

I'm not up to speed on exactly how it works, but it sounds like this Privacy Sandbox (terrible name!) was a replacement for HTTP-based Cookies? Was this feature going to be Chrome-only, or published as an open standard for all browsers to implement…

mikethemartian said: Just curious. Is it supposed to be a “pistol” emoji or a general handgun emoji? Because most of those images are revolvers not pistols. Up until 2018 for some vendors, the wrong image was being used. You are correct. …

What passes as "affordable housing" needs to be closely watched. Here in Canada, many such buildings are springing up only for a basic apartment to be $1800/month. That's double what Social Services pays out. Affordable housing should be capped at…
