+1 for Thunderbird for Windows, OSX and Linux…
As a product manager, I simply choose to overlook things like “implementation details” or “the laws of physics!!” /s 🤣
On a more serious note, I’m just reaching a point where I just want a small, reliable, and minimalist mp3 playing app for the Mac, as I’m starting to get sick of every single service wanting $20/m for stuff.
I pine for the whipping the Lamas ass winamp used to give…
There’s a recreation in re:Amp for osx, but I’d much prefer OSS apps…
Generally, I’d rather go back to just buying the music I want, ripping it and putting it on the devices I want to listen to it from…
Mac Port! Mac Port! Mac Port!
BlazeCut Tseries 50cm is about right for a 3d printer enclosure volume.

Prusa sells a 30cm one as an option for their enclosure, but it is undersized for the enclosure volume, so I bought the 50cm one separately.
I’m a product manager and I want to punch this comic strip!!!
I live in a subtropical area.
Short answer: YES!!.
I now religiously use a filament dryer, VAC bags and loose silica beads that I bag my self into DIY teabags and then redry in the oven.
I also make sure to dry new filament for 24hours before using it the first time…
Since I started doing this for PLA and PETG, many of my previous my print issues dissapeared…
Sometimes the best thing to do is just get out of their way…
Well. In a one on one call with him once (he’s my local member) I asked him why we could not protect individual rights with a charter of human rights.
I would describe the tone of his response as visceral… He said to me:
"[I don’t trust the courts in interpreting legislation like that. I would not want to give them an inch. Just look what they’ve done down in Victoria.]{paraphrased}
[As far as I’m concerned, the parliament is perfectly placed to decide what is, and is not a human right, and if you disagree with me, you can vote me out… ]{direct quote}"
I assume the VIC reference was to the judges that had been appointed most recently with track records of upholding human rights…
No confirmation bias in her assessment… Noooooooo…
Yes. I can hear to about 18kHz, so cheap USB chargers are no longer allowed in my house…
Worse, the EV chargers I used to work with had PEMs switching at 10kHz for the US UL variants. EVERYONE could hear those!!
Test your hearing range with this if you want…

I used the 10kHz tone to annoy the eng dept in the office till they changed the PEM switching freq to 20kHz…
Had a miniature poodle go blind at my parents hiise when I was 17/18 and he was peeing everywhere in the house suddenly.
Spent a day watching and realised he was laying scent markers for navigation.
Cleaned up all the wee and started tagging the left side of every doorway with a different herb/spice (basil, thyme, Rosemary, paprika etc). Just grabbed some dried herbs and rubbed them in the bottom left of all the doorways.
Took the dog through the house on a lead, and let him smell each door and took him outside.
Pretty much stopped the inside peejng, unless we forgot to replace the herb/spice rubs, or mixed up which herb went where when we reapplied…
My friends started calling my place the KFC shack.
If an article about The Onion drops on the web, does anyone think its real?

And it was actually 0day when the production company made the scene…
FWIW, Little known fact: Matrix 2 used real vuln (SSH CRC32) for trinity power grid hacking scene.
Even better to know: the scene was completed before the CRC32 vuln was public. So the scene used real 0day vuln…
Please do keep voting with your wallet - its one of the few remaining ways to express our discontent!) That being said, I feel like both of those examples are where the service provided by adobe and then Netflix are terrible.
Adobe is making you buy a whole year and Netflix is hassling you for “letting your pensioner mum watch your account”… To me, both of those are examples of bad service (coupled with cost).
For me, a counter example for me is amazon.com: I hate what they’re doing to the retail landscape but find it hard to resist, as I find them SOOO convenient, and their customer service (for now) is absolutely stunning!!! Now if their prices were too high, I’d personally probably pay for that convenience a bit. (Where there model breaks for me completely is warranty major purchases: I’ve had warranty denied by manufacturers for items purchased through non approved amazon resellers. So now, for me, anything over $100 and I’m looking for direct purchase from the manufacturer as a preference. )

As Gabe Newell said: “Piracy isn’t a pricing issue, its a service issue”
As my friend said: "every time a plastic video disc says " operation not permitted " a torrent is born…
As I say: “People will pay when it’s easy, more reliable and more convenient.” As a software product manager, I forbid my product from ever wasting developer cycles with copy protection… It’s expensive to deliver, annoying to real customers and doesn’t make us any more money…
I’ve used the 3x multiplier for staff planning at services companies since the early 2000s.
Perhaps there are regional differences, but they’ve rung true for planning billable rates of return at every services company I’ve worked at in the last 20 years here in AU.
I realise that the services aspect isn’t relevant, but having the sum of indirect staff costs equivalent to staff salary cost when office space is involved isn’t a massive stretch in my experience. (Indirect costs would include office rent, utilities, infrastructure and a share of shared functions such as IT, HR, facilities etc…)
This needs a government / IEEE / domain registrar policy of some sort. Maybe it should simply be that all expired domains are put into stasis for 10 years.
If you want to buy it and have access to it sooner, then you need to run (and pay for) a program of works to catch and proactively kill all linked accounts, and build a register of embargoed existing email addresses that must be set to bounce.
I knew this was a problem, but wow, had no idea it was this bad…
Because I have a [email protected] type email, I get SOOO many people signing up for accounts with my email, forgetting that theirs had some number suffix. I get peoples phone bills, pizza receipts, Amazon orders, parking meter e-receipts, Xbox live accounts, Dropbox logins, you name it.
I NEVER thought of what that would look like at a domain level!
