This was my plan for my dad's PC, but, while he uses an iPad he uses for the vast majority of his browsing/email/etc, he uses his PC to do his taxes and the taxes of quite a few other people. TurboTax is dropping support for Windows 10 for next year's edition. Based on everything I've seen, it simply won't run (or that's how they are communicating it). So now I need to replace my dad's 3 or 4 year old computer only because of TPM. TT is saying they're doing this because Windows 10 support is ending, which obviously it isn't. Bad decision making on both ends, but the outcome is the same: I have to basically get rid of a very nice computer.
I'm holding out as long as possible, hoping that reason re-enters the game, but I'm not holding my breath.
Sorry if this is obvious, but when I do `brew install sassafras`, the bulk of the time between hitting enter and being able to run sassafras is downloading and installing. The overhead of Homebrew seems very minimal. Is the slowness coming from a side of Homebrew that maybe I don't see very often?
I agree with other commenters. The pitch didn't do a great job of explaining what problem this solves, so I went to the demo video to find the answer. There's no logging problem big enough in my life to require a tool that takes 48 minutes to explain, so that's when you lost me completely. Even the console demo did more harm than good. It provided no real-world examples of logging (complex objects, multi-stage processes, etc), and some of the fancy bits were worse than vanilla console.log (e.g., the "debug" badge that is dark gray text on a dark gray background).
As others have said, doing maintenance before things get to the point of needing repair is also worthwhile. When I buy something that I want to last a while, I make sure to read the manual and also do some additional research to identify any scheduled maintenance that should be done, and I create a reminder in my Todo app to stay on top of it. That includes big things like car maintenance, and small things, like laundering a shower curtain before it get so stained and gross it can't be cleaned.
I was so bummed when they ended the Heavyweight podcast and made it a Spotify exclusive. It was one of the very few shows I would have conversations with people about the day after it dropped.
We work with lots of podcasts that were created in a time when Feedburner was standard operating procedure. We were already seeing reliability issues with Feedburner on those feeds this week (intermittent 500s), but if they really broke or removed custom domains, it's going to be a long weekend for our teams.
Could you say more about Raycast vs Alfred? I've got lots of customizations built into Alfred, so switching always feels like a big lift and I use it so much it would be a major disruption to so many workflows. But Raycast does look very nice, so I often think about making the switch.
That's a great clip to link to because 30 seconds later Tristan says "I don't want to be responsible for you guys beaning it off the side of a hill because you were trying to go too quick," which obviously was him walking back Ben's recommendation a bit because even he thinks it's a safety issue to look at a map while descending hairpins as a tourist.
I tend to update my Karoo pretty quickly, but I have never seen any indication that it would force an update, so I think people could stick with last week's version for as long as they want.
That being said, this week's update that removed Di2 also added some nice location-based auto lap features, which are way more useful than an icon telling me which gear I'm in, which I already know, so I updated.
There are a bunch of features on Karoo that will show or indicate turns regardless of which screen you're on. As jfengel said, if you're going 50mph you should know where you're going and not looking at your computer. The other things being removed (battery level, gear indicator, shift mode) represent no realistic safety concerns.
I'm annoyed that I'm losing these features, too, but they are all firmly in the nice-to-have category. Just like bike computers in their entirety.
I find myself working with timestamps a lot, and there were a couple very specific things I couldn't find with any of the existing converters/tools, so I built https://epoch.place, and it was a very good use of my time. I use it all the time and it does exactly what I need.
I got my https://github.com/notifications dialed in this year and it's be really useful. For watching activity on internal repos I work on, plus a good number of public repos that I keep an eye on to various degrees, I find that it's a very well-designed tool for triage.
I found it very hard to figure out how to choose content, since I don't personally know anyone using the app yet. I like the concept, and I don't think I want an algorithm as a lunachpad, but Flickr always had groups/categories/etc that helped with discovery. I was surprised Glass didn't have anything similar to that. It felt like a huge hurdle to get into the app.
I'm holding out as long as possible, hoping that reason re-enters the game, but I'm not holding my breath.
