LOL. I like it. I paid for it. Well worth $20 / year for the fun of it.

iPad Pro 11 inch - I use it all the time. It's not perfect, but whether I like it or not, it gets used the most often.

I am using a HHKB Pro Hybrid as a daily driver at work and a Realforce 104-u at home.

There is no such thing as the perfect keyboard, but HHKB Pro layout is something that stood its test of time (~10 years). And I don't see it getting replaced.

The Realforce may get benched, because I'm getting more used to wireless keyboards. So far it hasn't happened yet.

I wish I had the flexibility to choose. I definitely find driving to work rather relaxing (only because I can take the back road).

This is frustrating. After realizing I can only afford a small condo in Metro Vancouver area, I moved to a low COL city (relatively) 3 years ago. While the prices are still somewhat affordable from the West Coast standard, prices have gone up significantly in the past year alone.

Here is mine.

To screen capture every 600 frames:

  ffmpeg -i my_vid.mp4 -vf "select=not(mod(n\,600))" -vsync vfr -q:v 15 img_%03d.jpg

To make a montage that's 1024 px wide:

  for d in \*
  do
      (montage -mode concatenate -tile 4x -resize 1024x $d"/\* "$d".jpg)
  done

If I set this up with Firefox, would DNS look-up also use SOCKS?

I wish there was CLI-only version of the Docker Desktop. I can't even launch Docker Desktop unless there is a monitor connected and a user logged in.

Me too. I've subscribed and unsubscribed to their digital plans a bunch of times in the past ~10 years and it was never difficult. Perhaps this is new?

How hard / difficult is it to change the service address? For example, if I go on a week long vacation to Miami, can I change the address before I get on the flight, and have it ready to use when I check in to the hotel..?

I agree, but I was stressing it's there if I choose to recycle an old disk.

No doubt that RPi has been a game changer, but I can never convince myself to build a light file/media server with a Pi. Do I really want to spend $100+ buying a Pi and accessories, or should I just spend $300 on a Synology... which actually has an NVMe slot.

This means they want to suspend the processing of current queue of H-1B apps, right?

Haha I will try to find a copy. Anecdotally, the goods I saw were far from conspicuous. They all looked straight out of some music videos (heard of the "Ugly" shoes?).

Right, but I think EVERY sneaker is a Veblen good. A pair of $20 sneakers want to look like a $100 one and $100 sneakers want to look like $300 ones..

I'm not glad these stores are doing bad, but I just never understood how a pair of sneakers can cost $700 - $900 when I can buy a decent laptop with that kind of money.
