These New Sonoma Desktop Widgets Are Actually Useful Back in the day, Mac OS X had a dedicated Dashboard for widgets, where you could add all sorts of nifty little interactive utilities. With the release of macOS Mojave in 2018, Apple finally laid the old system to rest, and did not replace it with anything. Sure, you could add widgets to the Notification Center, but… Read more…

Have you ever experienced people wanting you to be more hyperaware of racism when travelling than you actually are? I wasn’t sure how to word the title, but basically I am talking about people trying to make you fear racism in countries you’re travelling to, more than you naturally would be.

People really love to “ship” characters when it comes to shows, whether they are actually a couple, or they have a storyline that follows the “will they, won’t they” trope, or they are already a couple and the audience adores every second they share scenes together! Even though I’m sure there are some TV couples that are actually decent and have…

Michelin Might Not Actually Make The Best Winter Tire For SUVs It’s hard to write about tires without coming off sounding like a paid shill for Michelin. Their tires are just so good, that recommending them has become a cliché for good reason. Sure, they’re expensive, but it’s also hard to argue they aren’t worth it as long as you can justify the cost. Last week, we shared Tyre… Read more…

Someone Please Buy And Then Actually Drive This Ultra-Low-Mile, One-Of-200 Dodge Neon SRT-4 Commemorative Edition You don’t see a lot of Dodge Neon SRT-4s anymore, and clean ones are basically nonexistent. Combine early 2000s Dodge build quality with owners who modified the hell out of their SRT-4s and then beat on them with complete indifference, and it makes sense that 20 years later, clean SRT-4s are rare as hens’ teeth. But… Read more…

Honest question: what does having a good credit score actually get you? I’m shopping for a new car and will finance around 50% part of it. Doing the online calculator to play with options (increase/decrease down payment, change length of loan, etc) and it asks for your credit score. I am 800+ so I selected that option and it did nothing to the payment. The payment didn’t change until I toggled the option to 720 whic…

I somehow managed to shake my camera in a weird way, I think the effect itself is actually kinda cool,d oes anyone know how to do this intentionally? ​ Usually shake pictures are just shaky, but this one is actually rather sharp which makes this look like an effect rather than an accident. I only know of some weird defects with film cameras which can achieve similar effects. Is it maybe because of IBIS? Camera is a Sony A7R3 submitted by /u/TheStandardPlayer

Are there any examples of a band actually doing ONE LAST TOUR? I’m not talking about club and small theater bands whose careers just ended I’m talking about arena bands where a reunion tour brings in millions of dollars?
