Same here, also as a former bassoonist - each note on the bassoon has extremely unique timbre, and I find it very easy to identify them.

No perfect pitch for other instruments.

Yes, probably that because Alaska and Hawaii were not admitted as states until 1959. Otherwise there would be Pearl Harbor counts as well.

They did add back non-cloud support a while ago after the cloud forcing didn't go over well, but it is a second-class experience.

The day after I set my UDM Pro up as non-cloud, it corrupted the login somehow and I had to factory reset it and redo all settings (as it hadn't been running long enough to run any automatic backups first). I capitulated and just set it up again as a cloud login to avoid having the same fiasco at some random point in the future again.

I immediately regretted going with the UDM to save (quite) a few bucks over a OPNsense/pfSense appliance to fit my requirement of handling a full 10G of WAN.

I will admit having the app to monitor usage remotely is a somewhat neat trick. I find the firewall configuration in GUI obtuse enough to be next to unusable.

Interesting to see Nix in the nice to haves!

You are saying that the "why" of Apple doing these things is purely "user hostility", which is highly implausible.

A company does not make decisions based on a pure "will to be evil".

They probably think that the reputation hit from not allowing repair is less damaging than the reputation hit from users dissatisfied with repairs. Other design choices can be for cost cutting in design or production.

So sure, it is not nice for the user, but the reason is not a desire to spite users. They likely simply think the additional costs, tangible and intangible, of being repair-friendly are not worth it.

Coinbase can disable your withdrawal/sending ability at any time on a whim.

Their support is email-only and has a backlog of months. Try taking a look at /r/coinbase for examples.

There are some very good reasons to put your crypto somewhere you control. I am in the process of moving everything I had off of Coinbase after they silently disabled my send/sell ability, but not purchase/receive, without ever providing a reason. Others were not so lucky as I was for them to reply to my support ticket after only 6 weeks of this status. None of their FAQs or support emails acknowledged the exact problem correctly or plausibly answered any of my questions as to why.

I host my own email, and I got nothing but huge amounts of spam from .xyz domains, so I manually increased the SpamAssassin score for just .xyz to +4.0, as KAM was only adding 0.75 for it. It's the only TLD I've had to do that for.

Unfortunately for the people with legitimate uses, for email admins it's just a really easy (and arguably necessary) shortcut to block a ton of spam.

I use this scheme ([email protected]) and one that I remember blocking for this reason is Aliexpress/Alibaba - [email protected] was rejected so I use [email protected].

No idea what sort of security this is supposed to provide.

I host my own email server, and .xyz is one of the 2 or 3 TLDs I went in the config files and manually blocked since nothing but spam comes from it (and lots of it).

Definitely would not recommend using it for your personal address.

A quick look at the Bragi Dash Kickstarter shows it was started in February 2014 and had raised nearly $3.4MM by March 31, 2014. It looks like it finally shipped in early 2016 (original promise late 2014).

I was about to comment that this kinda looks like fzf + ncurses.

Won't each college having to have their own test lead to many/most colleges, especially smaller ones, finding it easier or more cost effective to purchase their test from a central source, leading to some large College Board-like company making exams and a prep industry for that standard exam?

That's how I memorized it too! Really struggled with it until I started thinking of it that way.

I verified that the tweets are real. I checked out the usernames and all of those with locations easily findable (half of them) were in Chicago (where CAH is based) - so it is certainly plausible they only aired in Chicago.
