I didn’t realize it was so controversial. Indeed, I have a set of CFL from around 2010 that have about 30 second warm up to full brightness; they look just right behind their lamp shades. I tried replacing these once with LED and the light kind of pierced through the shades and looked harsh.

Huh, I actually liked CFL and the quality of light they produced.

No one actually believes you if you say that. Even if it is true.

I wonder why the 486 DX is supported but not the SX. How is the math coprocessing unit necessary for kernel and basic system tools?

I understand it, but I am not the majority Apple user.

This author misses the point because he is a geek. Ordinary users love Apple and do not care about these issues. Ordinary users throw money at Apple. Apple has some bugs to fix but overall the product is good, and that’s why they keep raking in cash. Saying good riddance to Tim Cook because of the system preference pane, among other trivial things (to most people), is simply misunderstanding business.

The new times take now beneath the new time while new times take the new year.

Or more concisely, localhost.

Brings to mind boom box punk from Star Trek 4. Flight attendants should be allowed to Vulcan-nerve-pinch.

Will not pass muster with FCC. Know Your Customer regulations require the company to … know the customer. They will not last.

Don’t read the comments. Author responds like a tool.

I always liked XMPP and SIP as messaging protocols. So easy to read and understand and implement. Both are extensible and can be made secure.

Life with young children is actually mostly dreary and stressful; the fun and excitement and reliving of childhood memories is 1% or less of life, in my experience. By time I realize I am having that <1% experience it is over. I still feel as though I am chasing after something vanishing and never catching it.

NextDNS is sufficient on its own. $20 for a year of no ads (or smut if you want to block that too).
