If this is something you do often, you might consider Firefox with the multi-account containers extension: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers

It allows unique/isolated profiles on a per-tab basis.

I’ve found it great for work, for the many things that require me to be logged into both the me@example.com and me@example.onmicrosoft.com accounts simultanously, to manage MS 365 things. But restricting social media to an isolated profile, multiple Google/Microsoft/whatever accounts, these are all possible.

I have a plastic desk toy of this dumpster.

Truly an object worthy to represent these troubled times.

For everyone saying “I’ve seen this before”; yes, yes you have. It was released commercially back when optical disks were… relevant.

Released 23 years ago, discontinued 15 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiscT@2

Pretty sure Technology Connections has a video that mentions it.

In the woods, or???

I feel like “whatevs” is the default position of the capybara under the vast majority of circumstances, but your point still stands.

Except sometimes it pays off massively.

I had accidentally left the voice on for some reason, back when Google Maps’ navigation was fairly new here in New Zealand. Back then it wasn’t the easiest thing to turn off without pulling over and stabbing a bunch of buttons, so I left it.

Approaching a large intersection, it seemed it was taking the words on the street signs somewhat literally, as it told me

Signs for State Highway one-half

Indeed, the sign did appear to read “SH1/2”.

The only one I got close on was I never had a chequebook of my own, but did on a couple of occasions use bank cheques for mail-ordered things.

Presuming we’re counting that, big fat goose egg.

I made this joke to people who work for AMD. I was a bit shocked that it hadn’t occurred to them :D

Hey! I’ve seen this story before!

This wasn’t the kind of life-imitating-art I was hoping for.

It always seemed like an amazing way to speed-run repetitive strain injury to me.

Anything that requires that level of precision but offers basically zero range of motion just seems to force unnatural levels of tension in every muscle in your hand and wrist.

The things cause me agonising wrist pain within minutes of use, not something I’ve experienced with any modern (ie, larger than the postage stamp sizes of old) touchpad.

Good riddance.

I got into an argument with someone once about this, when they told me (paraphrasing) “it’s safe to drive listening to music through headphones, because they let outside sound in”.

Yes they indeed might, but - even ignoring delay introduced from digital electronics - you’ve now lost all sense of where that sound is coming from, because you’re listening to the sound of one microphone being played through one speaker.

The human ear really is an incredible thing.

Generally, you just need to export the pool with zpool export zfspool1, then import again with zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id zfspool1.

I believe it should stick after that.

Whether that will apply in its current degrated state I couldn’t say.

While I have a personal general rule against backing electronics on Kickstarter and would likely wait for it to be available at retail, I wouldn’t necessarily immediately discount this one.

It’s probably worth noting - mentioned in Jeff Geerling’s video - they had a MOQ of 1500 on the metal case, which likely forced them to be significantly further through the process than a lot of Kickstarters are at launch.

Indeed, you will note that they carefully chose the moniker “Daily Active Uniques” and not “Daily Active Users”.

I think that speaks volumes, as humans are definitely harder to retain.

Can also recomment “Sqwincher” (stupid name aside) products.

https://www.sqwincher.com/products/single-serve-qwik-stik-zero/

As they market primarily to people working in construction / other trades - and are therefore sold at the likes of electrical and safety supply stores - we buy them in bulk for when we’re spending weeks installing racks of servers in our datacentre at work.

While the price is undoubtedly an issue, I’m concerned this wasn’t higher up in the article

Brownlee says the money from the app is split 50/50 with artists

HALF? Like I get that people are going to sign up to get exposure, but that is a hefty premium for doing very. very little work.

My last laptop (owned from 2013-2020) had an NFC reader under the touchpad.

I managed - exactly once - to get my phone to send a file to it using Beam. Did everything exactly as expected; initiated the transfer by NFC and sent the file over Bluetooth.

I could never repeat the experiment. Once, and only once.
