Ugh, I was just about to move from self hosted bitwarden to protonpass. I dont want 1password. Alternatives?

Everybody, everywhere pretty much always underestimates maintenance. And AI sucks at maintenance. It’ll just as likely nuke everything than actually maintain a piece of code running in production.

I used to have a bip and loved it. The big thing was battery life and always on screen. It used a reflective LCD screen to do it. No newer amazefits use them.

I’ve since moved to using COROS watches. Not as cheap but really good. Always screen, weeks of battery. Even GPS functions are efficient . Recently did 11 hr hike with GPS and only used about 23% battery.

Ha! I used to watch that all the time as a kid. I imagine it’ll get a lot harder!

Yes, this multiplies the complexity. When you talk to ATC you always need your tail number and airplane model. Why? Because a landing Cessna 150 is moving at 70mph. An incoming jet is moving at 130mph. And the jet can’t just slow down to 70 or it will fall out of the sky. They need to consider aircraft performance in all aspects of planning.

We just got Apple Watches for our 11 and 13 year olds. It is a decent middle ground, as up to now we’ve been very limiting of their screen time.

Our district has strict blocks in place at school, but most kids still already have phones. We did it for that reason and so so we don’t introduce phones at the same time they start driving (which is when we figured they’d actually need it)

One thing I wasn’t quite prepared for is kids use huge group chats that result in hundreds of messages a day. Learned how to mute discussions really quick. You can also limit access to groups with parental controls.

Key is talking to your kids regularly and helping them navigate life. Real and digital.

The ikea one mentions peeling asparagus. Is that a thing?

Some of the very first WiFi was 915mhz. Slow, but reached everywhere!

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but half of the US thinks WE should have an authoritarian government. We may soon be in a post-democracy world.

I think a decent number on here.

If there’s no rudder controls, how does one do cross wind landings?

Wow, so can I claim them as dependents?!

PBS is still $5/mo and has some reasonable stuff. Apps for most platforms. Also nice to support the local college that runs the station.
