I wish there were a section or note on the website about why these pho places are just numbered like this. But maybe the mystery makes it more exciting.

Regarding photo printing, which would be my main use case for a printer, I've read that the inkjet heads can get clogged up if you don't use them on a regular basis, and that the process for clearing them can use up a significant amount of ink. So I've just decided the premium of having a print shop do it on my behalf is worth it.

This does mean I can't exactly get my colors right, since I don't print often enough and I'm not that familiar with proofing digitally, but even if I have to get a print done twice I probably end up ahead financially.

I also have a tiny Canon Selphy that I use for small 4x6 prints, which I can recommend so people will actually get their photos into the real world and off the screen.

Really loved the lamps featured here. I'm jealous of the whole setup, including the Vitsoe shelving. Saving this for inspiration when I need to revamp my home setup. Thanks for sharing!

On mobile Safari you can use the "Hide Distracting Items" and click on the popup and the following gradient block to block the two items. You can then continue using it as normal. It's an annoying workaround, but I use it when I need to check on a post. Hopefully they ditch this approach, I think it's a bad example for other apps to follow.

I use GNU/Linux when I'm not using my Macbook. I love both platforms, but I also find myself wanting OpenBSD and FreeBSD to grow in popularity. All 4 OS's are great in their own right, but I personally feel that the GNU/Linux based operating systems are missing a thing or two that's holding them back from becoming popular. One of the biggest reasons is simply Developer Support. On my Mac, I can get everything I need to work, Photoshop, Dropbox, Google services. Everything just works.

Meanwhile, using Linux (I use Fedora Personally) I'm always having to search for Propiertary software, and sometimes the install process isn't so easy. Back when I used to use IDE's made by Jetbrains, the font rendering was bad, and the install process only half worked on Linux, but on my Mac it worked flawlessly.

OpenBSD and FreeBSD have much the same problem, however, the only reason I don't use them more often is because their repos tend to be more out of date than those on Fedora. Although their support for ZFS is a major selling point.

I think that, at the end of the day, if GNU/Linux focused more on gaining developer support, and stopped their incessant need to have everything be FOSS on their systems, I would rather use their OS's over MacOS.
