Two things: 1. Why take a dumb swipe at the battery life on a plane? Every plane seat has electrical plugs underneath it. I can’t wait to use mine on a plane - in so many ways. 2. This won’t do anything to disrupt my TVs and home theater syste…

Will not buy from Hyper again. Spent $150 on their 100W stackable charger… the ports on it just slowly died. Replaced it with an Anker and it’s been rock solid.

I have a 1PW family subscription. We use the hell out of it storing passwords/CCs/important docs/medical information in both shared and private vaults. It’s incredibly handy that my whole family can share logins/information in a secure way. I wil…

ElCapitan said: There is large number of open-source libraries in use, and both closed source and open source applications built on these running on macOS where it is highly unlikely they will ever be ported to ARM. Many of these run on the c…

I'll throw my 2 cents in here. I work in massively-parallel (think: 100,000 core+ supercomputing), scientific computing. We've purchased ~100 maxed out (~$7k) Mac Pro cylinders over the past few years for our workstation needs. When the new Mac Pro…

This reminds me of Google Contributor: https://contributor.google.com/v/beta I paid for it for many years (put $20 in a month) to try to support the websites I use. It "worked" (I think). Then they changed the model a bit and stopped charging me a…

I'll give my advice. I've done quite a lot in my house: ~30 Lutron Caseta SwitchesLutron ceiling fan controllers Many Hue bulbs to fill in gapsSome Hue taps (on our bedside tables for controlling lamps in our bedroom) Some Hue light switches to fil…

BTW: You missed another instance of technology on the bench: https://www.thestreet.com/story/14295846/1/how-the-red-sox-used-an-apple-watch-to-steal-the-yankees-signs.html And _this_ is the reason why it's not allowed... because "spotters" or "coa…

Much ado about nothing. Amazon is (justifiably) reviewing a tiny, random, anonymized sample of interactions with Alexa devices in order to make their service better. You can even turn it off (although: after this... there may be a more explicit popu…

Makes sens to me. I develop massively parallel scientific computing applications to run on some of the largest supercomputers in the world. Nearly everyone in this field uses Mac laptops and workstation... and then runs on the Linux based supercom…

I think this move has more to do with this: https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/22/18277547/netflix-mobile-only-plan-countries-price Netflix is introducing "mobile only" plans in some markets at a steep discount. They don't want those people to be able…

Yes - I will be purchasing a Homekit Enabled Video Doorbell. Probably whichever one is available to order first...

Well done! I am pretty serious about my photography. I use a Nikon DSLR normally - but have been using my iPhone more and more as the camera has improved (I currently have the X)/ These improvements are pretty huge and are now making me want to upg…

Ok - I posted a Gist over here with a definitive test that will show if the new laptops are throttling: https://gist.github.com/friedmud/2dd0e9b08cf766c16b7cd95fbc74ceeb You can't really get any more instruction intensive than that! (ok, well - I …
