Reflective bird tape might work. For me, it was effective in preventing birds from attempting to build a nest on my transom window.

Not to mention that the Sienna hybrid gets crazy good fuel economy for a mini van.

The Thunderscan, for the time, was pretty awesome though. I remember borrowing one from a classmate to make some scans. Given how we keep a document scanner in our pocket these days, the whole notion of sticking a scanner into a printer seems so antiquated and kinda crazy.

Agree. Calling it done and using it might be the best approach.

If this is truly a "small project for myself", start using it.

If the app mostly does what you want, and you enjoy using the app, anything in the last 30% that you feel like you need - you'll be motivated to fix.

Also, drop the tests. I'm not sure there's a lot of benefit in doing that for a web page editor you wrote for yourself.

I disagree, but only slightly, Windows 2000 was my personal favorite, especially for its version of Windows Explorer.

If you find that bewildering, maybe it's a generational thing. I've been driving for around 35 years, and I never really found it too hard going from one car to another before the LCD era.

At this point, I'm trying to avoid buying a new car, because I don't want a car where I have to put a key in a faraday cage, etc. I don't want to use my phone to unlock my car. To me, these "modern conveniences" have gone so far out of control that they're an inconvenience, and sometimes even dangerous.

> Google should have been required to be up front about their definition of unlimited

Well, unless the definition of unlimited is actually unlimited as in "no limits", you shouldn't be allowed to use the word in any marketing material.

If a company can go around saying "Unlimited means there's a limit", then that's just nuts.

> expect it to be free forever.

Where does it say he expected it to be free? In the article, there's a tweet that says "So I paid Google a lot of money for a long time for a plan that included unlimited storage"

To me, the bigger problem is that companies are allowed to offer "unlimited" anything in their marketing copy.

I dunno, my 18 year old Honda (and wife's Toyota of same age) is pretty much all physical switches (and that's not counting all the cars I've driven since the late 80s). Outside of the occasional manufacturer idiosyncrasies, my Honda's controls pretty much behave the same way that all my prior cars did too.

Yes, there are a lot, but I only use a handful of them at any given time. They work predictably, without any random lags related to CPU load or any other weird stuff that could be related to running a -large- complex operating system. Everything just works, and all the time. -- edit: might want to add that they don't need software upgrades either

I would prefer that over a touchscreen any day.

I'm probably in the minority of the minority, but I don't want a touch screen in my car. Or even any big LCD screen in my car. I would prefer my car to be relatively dumb, and free of distractions where possible.

I've been on Fastmail for almost a year, and I get spam/obvious phishing attempts in my inbox. Compared to my experience with GMail before switching to Fastmail, I found Gmail to be noticeably better at spotting and filtering both spam and phishing emails.

Having said that, I'm still not going back to Gmail.

They are just a bookmark, but on Windows, they become a first class citizen on your task bar.

If you are the type to have a ton of tabs open across many windows, this also makes the "app" easier to spot.

You can also pin the app to the taskbar and have it launch with Windows.

Which would be easily resolved by having them off by default?

Having said that, I don't know how window snapping being on by default isn't incredibly frustrating for someone who is simply trying to precisely position a window near a corner only to have it snap in a way they didn't want it to.

For those situations, there are wobbling mouse platforms that effectively do the same thing as a plug-in USB mouse jiggler.

> 95% of the time it's a better resolution for doing things like coding and spreadsheets.

Depends on the use case. my wife (accountant) lives in Excel, and I set her up with two 21:9 monitors side by side (42:9 overall) and she loves that setup compared to the one she has in the office.
