Why not just use Bluetooth? I'd be suspicious if the Dishwasher app requested permission to access the phone's microphone

There could be both.

I very much identify with the self respecting type your parent describes and try my best to 'punish' sellers who try silly FOMO tactics, by demoting them into oblivion in my books. However, I am still prone to some FOMO with proven, trusted brands.

Anecdote: Several years ago I happened to try out a certain brand of shoes and loved the quality and style and have ever since only bought that brand and have even introduced friends and family members to it. However, I still wait for their deals to show up before picking up a pair and am vulnerable to their "time running out" campaigns. I click "Buy", assured that at least I won't be stuck with a substandard product.

I like to think that if I ever build a product, I would focus on quality and attract the kind of customer I myself am and would never stoop to the lowly FOMO tactics, even for assured short term gains.

Brilliant! Just today, I was listening to a panel of world class artists being asked (now trite) questions on AI taking over their jobs and they concluded something like:

"For mediocrity, turn to AI. If you want masters, call us".

What networking gear do you use inside your home? What router? Do they terminate an actual fiber connection (SFP+) to your home or you get 10GB Ethernet?

Haven’t used NextDNS but have used PiHole and currently running AdGuard Home. But if you are paying $20/year just for DNS encryption/blocking, you may consider upgrading to Mullvad which gives you DNS Ad blocking but also IP anonymity, tunneling etc.

This is well known and well studied. I highly recommend Sapolksy’s lecture on this: https://youtu.be/SIOQgY1tqrU?feature=shared

Start at 12:14 for the relevant topic, but the entire lecture is a good watch.

I use iCloud to sync. Just locate the vault in an iCloud drive folder called Obsidian. Works beautifully to sync between my different Macs and iOS devices.

But then again,

The best kind of correct answer!

If you scroll down on the original post, there's another techemail from Palm CEO Ed Colligan to Steve Jobs [0] in which he says: "Threatening Palm with a patent lawsuit in response to a decision by one employee to leave Apple is just out of line."

So, don't know what Jobs could have done with Google specifically, but safe to assume that it would be something else equally out of line.

That's not helpful. You said you wanted to help :)

Hands down Jabra Evolve 75 (or it's successor). Great noise cancellation for your voice to the benefit of the other end of the line. In a deliberate test, my colleague could hear me talk but couldn't hear music playing 5 feet from me.

but neither is quick.

I had the same experience, so I assigned a keyboard shortcuts Cmd+Shift+F and Cmd+Shift+H for global search and home, and that mitigated it a little bit. These should have had shortcuts out-of-the-box.

It's still a little awkward to get out of the search mode and back to editing mode. What would be ideal is hitting "Esc" should take you back to the listing mode and move cursor back to the last edit location.

Yes, same experience, but I wish there was code formatting in Notes. A lot of my notes are code snippets and Notes fails there. I've recently switched to Obsidian with the iCloud drive backup and trying to get used to it.

Can you elaborate how? From what I know, the two most popular implementations - SAML and OIDC don't rely on 3rd party cookies. They rely purely on HTTP redirects.

Yes, you are missing the sillier "Late 2014", "Early 2019" naming of MacBook Pros and others :)

Had done that (obviously), didn't work on Chromecast with GTV. Had called customer support and filed a technical ticket. Nothing happened. Too late now.

Few months ago I rage quit Netflix because their shows would start autoplaying and nothing I did could disable that. I couldn't read one synopsis distraction free or browse without having to constantly click my GTV remote just to stop the friggin thing from playing. WTF! I'd like to think there were more like me who voted by cancelling their subscriptions. I hope PMs at Netflix who forced this onto their users lost their jobs.

For me it's got very limited use, if at all. My primary browser is Firefox with ublock, multi-containers etc. but Private Relay won't work with it. Also, my home network has a Pi-Hole and I have to manually change my DNS to a public one if I want to enable Private Relay. So for a privacy use case, with browser fingerprinting and all, there's the tradeoff that you can hide your IP but have to give up on the Pi-Hole protection. All ads start showing up in Safari. I'd rather go with a VPN that tunnels all computer traffic except DNS. FWIW, this is my poor man's VPN with a free Google Cloud micro instance used as a socks proxy with Firefox:

  ssh user@IP -N -C -q -f -D 1234

... it worries me ...

have you tried quitting caffeine?

On macOS you can replace printf '\a' with something nicer like 'say Lunch time!', or accept a query param and 'say $msg'

while true; do echo Coming! | nc -l 8000; for i in 1 2 3 4; do say "Lunch time!"; sleep 1; done; done

If you are on the client end of the equation and have ssh access to their mac: ssh user@host say "get your ** here right now"

If you have to explain that to your boss, you are working for the wrong person. We are in a creative field, he shouldn't have to be explained this.

Demand increased and a shortage occurred.

The engineer then sat back and smiled at how their server continues to serve this page just fine despite the HN demand :)

This is me as well - unabashedly a bash person. My reasons to not switch are not driven by the feature set offered by the various shells, but by the fact that I don't want to learn/think or be bothered with the nuances when I log in to various remote hosts, containers, and what have you. When I write shell scripts or installers, I want a single language that is reasonably likely to be present wherever it runs - and that today is bash.

This is great! It would be nice to have the rules implemented as an interception layer on top of the MX records, so the "catch-all" parts could be redirected to an upstream mail server.

Exactly right. And I, as a consumer, would consider content as the primary driver. An efficient delivery mechanism is already (or soon will be) commoditized. Bad content delivered efficiently won't drive profits.

Add one more to the list - and this one drives me crazy to no end - on my Chromecast with GTV the wretched thing starts autoplaying even if I just want to read the synopsis. This, despite turning off all autoplay options in my profile. What is the friggin rush?! Why won't you let me browse/read distraction free?!
