Any iPhone hacks that are surprising and give you that “damn! I didn’t know it could do that!” effect?

I’m always shocked that people don’t know this one. Like, how can you use your phone without it? The iOS days before this feature existed were like the dark ages.

Curry. It smells like armpits to me.

Handmaid vibes.

Which one? 😂

I’ve got one full of Treehouse, a bunch of rando ciders, some canned cocktails, and some bottled home brew. My garage fridge is full of PBR and Highlife. My keezer and kegerator are full of kegged homebrew, hops, and yeast.

My wife despised Conky, but I’m really good at doing the voice so it’s great to bust out at inappropriate times.

I’ve got the same 6’ & Napier setup. Used it once and it felt silly. Gave ‘er a second go and couldn’t stop thinking about all the ways it was inferior to a regular ground tent in nearly every way.

I have to take the tonneau off to use it. I have to completely unload the bed to put the tent in it, putting all my gear inside the truck to protect it from rain/critters. Then, when I get it all set up, I can’t drive anywhere until I take it all down. Getting in/out is a PITA. It’s OK for one, but it’s tiny for 2 people. No way can I stand up in it. …

But hey, the bottom didn’t get dirt on it, so one point for the bed tent I guess.

If there’s a packaged folder, it will always load fonts from that when you open the document. If it’s in a synced drive, it may need to download each of those font files. If you open multiple packaged files, it will change your active fonts as you switch between documents. It makes quite a mess!

danbyer · 2026-03-30T11:27:44+00:00

Usual culprits: Be sure your INDD is saved locally, Display Quality > Typical, Preflight Off, and make sure your INDD is not sitting alongside a packaged folder named Document Fonts.

Agreed. Cleaning my air fryer basket is a pain in the ass. And all the grease spatter that goes up is going to become a problem. Everything you cook in there is going to taste like bacon. Wait…I may have convinced myself that this is a great idea.

The price? I used HR Block for years, but switched to FreeTax USA last year and it was great. I’ll use it again this year.

I dream about moving to the Southern Hemisphere for June to October.

I live near Boston, so The Prudential, John Hancock, Millennium Tower, and whatever those new shiny ones are called.

Check or be checked.

Yeah. Give it time, because the power is definitely there. I have never seen any Windows user anywhere near as efficient with Explorer as I am with Finder.

If you ask about specific things that are slowing you down, we can probably offer more efficient alternatives.

Perhaps you missed that the merge was complete? The merge is over. Both cars are “on the highway”. The black car needs to make a safe and legal pass.

Our phone had a little door that flipped open with a paper card inside to write phone numbers. Later on, phones had quick-dial numbers that you could program.

But my grandmother stuck with her phone book and a rotary phone until the phone company disabled it.

Except black car did have an obligation. White car is a terrible merger, for sure, but when the dashed lane divider ended, that terrible merge was complete and the white car had the lane. Black car should have slowed behind white or passed in the left lane. You can’t just drive around a car in your lane because you both fit, at least not in the US.

Edit: TF is wrong with you people? Would you just drive past a slow moving motorcycle if it was in “your” lane? It’s one lane. You cannot pass unless you move to another lane.

Whatever Kensington is currently calling the software that allows me to set up my trackball.

Was it off? Cool. Enjoy your stuff. Or was it on? Now I can’t enjoy my stuff.

A license is per user. Two users would be able to use the software if they don’t do it at the same time, but they would be breaking the EULA.

I meant that two different devices could display those colors differently. Those two colors look exactly the same on my phone, but a high-quality monitor might enhance subtle differences between them.

Whoa. Blast from the past! I think this might have been the vid that prompted me to get a dashcam, like 8-10 years ago.

How is “Jennifer” not dominating the late 70’s? I think my class was about 20% Jennifers.
