    I think a lot of people use them as an anti-social "don't talk to me" kind of deal.

    Okay. I'll repeat my point again. We all have to make our own choices of privacy vs convenience. Every piece of modern tech is a trade off of privacy and the value / usability you get from the device. I have no doubt about the Whoop being a data tracking device that is worse for privacy. I...

    Of course not. I think MacOS is marginally better about user privacy. Sure they're probably selling some user data like every big tech company, but at least they aren't outright spitting in your face by running targeted advertisements in the operating system you paid $100+ for. I don't think...

    I've run Ubuntu on my home desktop for years. I wanted something with pretty wide adoption if I ran into problems. Debian or Fedora were options I considered too. Zero issues at all. Most of what I do is in the web browser as is the case for most people. Spotify desktop app worked out of...

    Why do you have to spend $5k? You can buy a lot of ring for less than that. Especially if you go with lab diamonds, which you should. I don't think there's anything wrong with spending that amount. My fiancee's ring was in that ballpark. I'm fortunate to be in a position where it was not...

    Earning money as a software development/IT tutor. Is it something that people would pay for?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I think if you really wanted to go the 1:1 route as opposed to a course, there might be more demand if you framed it more like "career coaching" in that space. Lots of need from people in the IT / dev market trying to figure out how to position themselves in the age of AI.

    Should I buy the car?

    IDEA 
    Move out first. Parking a $65k car outside of your parents house is cringe AF. Having your own place without roommates at 18 is infinitely more impressive. And more attractive to women, which is presumably what is drawing you to a wannabe-Lambo with a 3-cylinder engine.

    What is your method of learning?

    MINDSET FEEDBACK 
    Hands-on experience is the best teacher. I don't really believe in the whole "everyone learns different" thing. I think some people might think they learn better in different ways but what they actually mean is they have preferred supplemental tools (whether that be a book, a video, course...

    Snipe-IT is okay considering it's free/open-source, but agreed that asset tracking has been horrible at every company I've worked at. I think in a lot of cases it's more about business structure than lack of good software. At my current org asset management sits in a weird cross pattern...

    I think it's a combination of two things. 1. Frequency illusion. This is the well-known cognitive bias in which you notice something more often after becoming aware of it, like you buy a new car and then suddenly start noticing that car everywhere. Once you've told yourself that you are a...

    I experienced a really weird thing with a generated response today. This was with Gemini 2.5 Flash. Wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this? I asked a question related to a software license issue for work, and it spit out this: I then asked what that response had to do with my...

    B Corp - a value skew?

    MARKETING 
    I think it differs a lot. There is zero upfront cost to say "5% of proceeds go towards helping puppies". If there are no profits then there's no donation. Meanwhile you get all of the marketing benefits right away. Vs "go through this multi-year certification to put a label on your...

    I looked into LASIK a few years ago and came across a lot of this. It seems like most clinics will hide behind statistics like "over 99% of patients have no serious side effects". While not disclosing that "minor" side effects are much more common, and can include permanent dry-eyes or light...

    B Corp - a value skew?

    MARKETING 
    Look up the standards. Certain business types are not even allowed, and then you have to take into account suppliers you work with, environmental impact, worker treatment, etc. 5 mins of discussing this with ChatGPT will show you it's waaay more complex than just giving up a % of revenue.

    IDEA 
    How would you make money? There are a million blog posts and youtube videos out there that provide generic advice on how to shop for a used car. I don't see anyone paying for that information. And people buying their first car don't strike me as big spenders. Anyone can go to ChatGPT and...

    Recommendations for a password manager

    QUESTION 
    If that actually works for you, more power to you. If you are genuinely changing things like color and animal for each site (and not just the website name which is easy to remember) I don't know how you keep it all straight in your head. I would be forgetting and resetting passwords...

    Recommendations for a password manager

    QUESTION 
    Proton Pass is what I use now. I have no complaints with it, but the main reason I'm using it is because I'm already paying for the upgraded Proton Mail suite. If I wasn't already paying for Proton Mail, I'd be using 1password, and it's what I recommend to family members. I've had the most...

    This is a really well made video. I recently finished reading The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. This is exactly what he describes (and what the data shows) happening to young boys withdrawing more and more from the real world.
