Sad news. He was the OG tech grouch. Went way off the deep end with conspiracy crap and right wing nonsense over the last decade, but I always assumed some of that was opportunistic performance. RIP.

That is exactly how the Halton County Railway Museum near Toronto came to be. A bunch of dudes bought an old streetcar (tram) to save it from the scrappers and built a track on some property to have fun driving it around. https://hcry.org/

1Password also lets you pick where your data lives - US, Canada or EU. https://support.1password.com/regions/

Right up there with the Not Just Bikes guy on YouTube who used to talk about how transit-oriented cities are great or would show some positive stuff from somewhere. Now it's just endless videos about how cars suck, cities suck, even a lot of transit sucks. The constant negativity is such a put-off.

The original "Situation Room" concept with Wolf was pulling in all these live feeds from all over the place and reporting on them. Car chase in LA! Train crash in India! Protest in Paris! Let's go live!

They had a web subscription product around 2006 that gave you access to just watch all these raw feeds from CNN Affiliates all over the world. It was like Periscope but all "professional" feeds.

Same. I can identify with the subject matter, but the whole thing was just so off-putting. Trite, sound bites.

Yep. Similar to the other day. Uploads failing. Messages not delivering. Status is obviously hand-updated.

Kagi search.

Same. No interest in going to that country. We'll continue travel in Canada or throughout Europe as we have over the last year and a bit. We used to go to the US to camp and on family vacations in the winter, but we skipped that last year and this year and have no plans to visit unless the situation changes.

I spent many hundreds and maybe thousands of hours using Sony PCM7000 and 7010 Pro DAT recorders and those things were just a sheer joy to use. They were so perfect in basically ever single way.

I would love something like what Spotify has - private listening. In the meantime, I just go into the YouTube history and remove anything that I don't want to pollute my recommendations. Turning off search history entirely also is good.

More like "Notion Mail (for Gmail only). Notion Calendar is Google only. Notion Mail is Google only. I guess I shouldn't have expected them to do anything based on standards like IMAP.

Soyuz still lands on land. Starliner landed (and will land) on land. Blue Origin's non-orbital ship lands on land.

Long time Garmin watch user here and Garmins are also HORRIBLY crippled on iOS. Can I respond to a text message? No. I can clear the notification, but that is it. Apple Watch has far greater abilities than any other smart watch. That is the issue.

Orion for macOS is still pretty buggy and, in my experience, a bit too frustrating to use as my default browser. I want to use it and pay the $5/month even though I don't use it all the time. It's close to being good, but not quite there yet.

Same. I have Instagram and Threads accounts, but I tried to get Facebook back about 5 years after deleting it and immediately got asked for ID and then was banned with no appeal possible. I guess they take deleting your account very personally.

Do not ever touch bats. Never ever. If you do touch a bat, go to the ER and tell them you touched a bat.

For anyone working at Blind - PGP encryption on emails as an option please.

The latest episode of CBC Radio's Quirks and Quarks had a very excellent segment on this odd creature (amongst other topics). It's a fantastic weekly science show available as a podcast.

The suit is part of the spacecraft. In the case of Dragon, it pressurizes, inflates and deflates at times depending on the phase of the mission.

Lol. The part when he mentioned that Google was smart to have crews to reposition bikes when product teams like the Stadia team would just disappear from the campus.

Replying back "Agreed on all" to an email that is basically "Here's what I'm thinking" is a contract? That's one heck of a precedent.

Wait until they realize that they can tie this AI into facial recognition at those big screen kiosks and they change the prices based on the appearance of the person ordering.

So far it's proven to be effective at scattering pieces of stainless steel over the ocean.

Emailed.

Nope. Deprecated just a couple of weeks ago.

I happily pay $20/year so I don't need to worry about it. Not everyone can or wants to run their own infra.
