My frickin parents can’t visit (2 hrs away) without making a snide comment about how my lawn needs to be mowed. As idiotic as it is, honestly, I just feel bad for them - and the millions of others - who were duped by the lawncare industry into spending however many hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars (not to…

I never go for the news or panels (honestly, only ever been to one in 7 years) and I felt this year’s was bigger and arguably better than ever before - we spent several hours longer than normal wandering the floors and I loved it. Slightly expanded floor area and still packed to the brim! 

Ok NHTSA, now do regular trucks and SUVs, which are a far more common serious hazard to pedestrians (not to mention other drivers and passengers) across the country and continue to get bigger and heavier and become more and more dangerous because there’s no safety regulations for anybody outside the given vehicle.

By having two ultimate teams, one for each game 🙃

Yeah seems like everything else that already exists. What would make it different - which is really just a matter of time - is if the cable companies bundled all the streaming services together and offered unlimited access to them all for a cheaper cost (negotiated licensing/ contracts) with a single login/device.…

I wouldn’t say I’m accomplished by any stretch, but I’m a decent skateboarder and pretty good snowboarder... and riding a Onewheel is still shockingly way harder than I imagined.

I have strong concerns about generative AI and AI art but not gonna lie, this definitely seems like the “right” way to go about it.

6.1" screen is not tiny...? That’s bigger than the Switch Lite (5.5") and virtually the same as the Switch (6.2"). Not to mention almost twice the screen resolution and undoubtedly a much better processor.

And if not clear from the great explanation from LED, “algo” = algorithm, which is what determines which posts to show to you and in which order.

I’m a homeowner but big on “houses are homes, not investment vehicles” - our society would be much better and accommodating for all if that perspective was more commonplace so thanks for sharing that.

Great question - I’m wondering this too. Cookies are pretty standard for saving sessions within a site/web app. I know there’s other forms of storage for browsers via cache (and “local storage” iirc) so I suppose those could be used somehow, but is Google really forcing the hand of EVERY web app developer to recode…

But they _do_ need internet connectivity for the heated seats... to check if your subscription is active 😄😄😄🥲

Fwiw I know Patreon offers features like unique/dynamic podcast (RSS) feeds and linked access to private Discord servers - good chance they offer functionality that can automate authentication code distribution for this dude that PayPal and Buy Me a Coffee probably never could.

Patreon (generally) works as an auto-renewing monthly (sometimes annual) subscription model: you pay a creator $x/mo (or yr) with no set term beyond that.

Ha, wow I totally forgot about their big data breach 😆

On one hand, I feel so vindicated because I know exactly these emails and have experienced all the frustration of a) never having signed up for them, b) having no unsubscribe option in the email (for a big, legitimate company!), and c) futile efforts to browse the site for an unsubscribe option that didn’t exist.

Definitely seems to be the new Uber/Airbnb/etc model: go fast and break the rules because they teeeeechnically don’t apply to your _technology_ business and start working to change the rules afterwards...

I know some won’t take the risk going used, especially with a fold, but two years ago I got a used mint Fold2, just one generation back, for half the price new. Besides 1 to 2, these generational differences seem to be coming out to be pretty minor and I don’t regret my decision in the slightest and I would happily do…

ID.me is probably the biggest one - especially considering now our federal government (and apparently some state ones) uses it. Not sure why the federal government needed a private company to figure out how to do identity verification but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

I have a feeling this is an article you gotta repost every year - keep on spreading it!
