Elgato Stream Deck review: A Mac accessory you didn't realize you need
gallientulsa@aol.com said:This is what the Touch Bar should have been. I loved the concept of the Touch Bar but it is massively underused in programs. I hope they add functionality and user customization instead of getting rid of it.

There's already some preset optons for it to show its power and give you an idea of its uses

And of course it makes the excellent Touch pad even more powerful, plus keyboard shortcuts and a clipboard manager and more...

Tesla stops accepting BitCoin, nearly entire cryptocurrency market hammered
sflocal said:I still don't understand the skyrocket valuations these cryptocurrencies (especially Dogecoin) have. It just doesn't make sense. It has no real intrinsic value and I can't reconcile that in my head.
Fiat currency (your US dollars, Pounds Sterling, Euro, Swiss Franc etc ect) also has NO intrinsic value.
They do have the backing of their respective Governments - which is of little comfort to those in Zimbabwe, or Turkey.... (and notoriously Germans in the past https://keripeardon.wordpress.com/2013/06/01/wheelbarrows-of-money-and-the-weimar-republic/)
This is a good little book to help give some understanding of ' money', Crypto assets and blockchains

And as far as the energy consumption of bitcoin here's an alternative view.
I don't have any Bitcoin, just to be clear.
I do own ADA (Cardano), which
"Thanks to a more energy-efficient mechanism to verify transactions, Hoskinson has claimed Cardano uses just 6 gigawatt hours of energy annually—not even 0.01% of the 115.85 terawatt hours bitcoin is estimated to use"

Logitech discontinues Harmony universal remote lineup
iloveapplegear said:I have had elite remote for a few years.
Not perfect but does what I want.
I was very upset with Logitech telling me they would support 64 bit MacOS but they failed to deliver and consequently left with iOS interface to modify which is not as easy.
@sigh@
The Elite is great, hopefully i can get several more years out of it... and pray someone takes the business over (but that would have happened already, i guess...unfortunately).
