Ended up just going with RealVNC per recs. Simple app, just uses macOS native VNC support, free for LAN connection, easy to set up

Anyone have a VNC setup they really like in 2026? Requirements: no cloud aspect required (LAN/Tailscale is good), iPhone, iPad, Mac/web app

Got a new Waterpik per WireCutter recommendation
It's a proprietary connector on one end with USB-A on the other

I'm gonna guess it's a random different app with Apollo in the name, I never did anything with Apple Music APIs

Picked up a new robot vacuum and it's remarkable the progress these make every few years. Some of my favorite tech, period

With the Vision Pro getting the dual headband now I just wish they'd fully commit and make a Vision Pro Hat

Random, but the YouTube app on my Apple TV started dropping down to 480p if you try to change the playback speed on any 60 fps video. Anyone else seeing this? Do I need a newer Apple TV?

When you try the annual thing of threatening to cancel your internet service so they offer a better deal but instead this time they're just like "okay bet" and now I don't have internet for a few days

Are there any good tools out there for outpainting/uncropping/extending an existing image yet?

Yeah, I seem to drill a lot of holes though for some reason and need more than the screwdriver functionality :( I also use it as an impromptu electric hand mixer when cooking

The 12V Milwaukees confuse me so much because the drill is both larger and heavier than the M18 one. I unfortunately don't really have any 12V Dewalt batteries kicking around, maybe I need to migrate

2024-11-11 20:51:37 UTC

Question for y'all power tools people. I treated myself to an upgrade to my ancient drill to something more modern/compact, I love it except it is like ear piercingly loud and high pitched versus the old one. Did I get a bad unit? Is it Milwaukee? Are all new drills like this?

iPad feature request: auto "deep sleep" after 24h idle (10 seconds to wake is okay). iPads used to last over 30 days on standby, but every time I pick one up now after less than a week it's dead

Sad news, but Juno for YouTube has been removed from the App Store. It's been a ton of fun to build, thanks to all who used it and enjoyed it! 🫡❤️ https://christianselig.com/2024/10/juno-removed/

Anyone have trouble downgrading from iOS 18.1 to 18.0? I've tried on my 15 Pro by download the ipsw and applying it as an update in Finder, but the progress bar stalls even if left over night. Is there a special procedure?

Pixel Pal's iOS 18 update is out now and it's a bunch of fun 😊

Help me understand, any downside I'm not considering to buying and importing a vehicle from the US instead of just buying in Canada?
- Manufacturer's Canadian price is much higher than just CAD to USD, so good savings by exchanging to USD manually
- Transport (not that far, fun fall road trip)
- Interest rates high enough that I wouldn't want to finance it anyway
- US-made vehicle, no tariff
- Super close to Canada spec vehicle, very minor certification needed
- Warranty still valid in Canada
