Passed this yesterday and holy crap can I say these are some tough questions. Even with Google there’s some in here that make you think

This one was definitely a bit harder than the Bronze level. I definitely need to brush up on the non-NAT64 transition mechanisms. I’ve forgotten a lot of their details

I wish Apple would introduce harsher penalties for apps that change notification categories or reclassify types of notifications to skirt user’s preferences and send spam. Reddit is the latest offender but Snapchat was guilty last week

Quick question. How can Microsoft Teams, the worst conferencing and chat app, be somehow way worse on Windows than on a Mac. Crashes, audio issues, slowness, unintuitive interface, unnecessary activity feed that you can’t disable for some reason.

Everyone complains about Apples updated photos app but I haven’t seen any complaints about their update to the calculator yet. I’m here to say it’s awful. They removed had swipe to backspace, and rotate to access the scientific mode. Both of which make the new one so much more annoying to use

The winter solstice is in two days which is the day with the least daylight, however it’s not the earliest sunset of the year. That actually is in early December for most of the northern hemisphere. In Raleigh, for example, it was December 5th

The Reddit iPhone app seems to have become unusable lately. Randomly, it just seems to stop responding to clicks. I can scroll but can’t click pictures or into threads until I kill the process and reopen. Does this happen for anyone else?

I whipped up 3 quarts of eggnog tonight following the recipe that @aragusea.bsky.social shared. This is the third year in a row I’ve made this and it’s one of my favorite Christmas traditions now. Aging eggnog a few weeks certainly makes a difference. youtu.be/sflZWeCjdco?...

As a lifelong NC State fan, it was ok that UNC was good at basketball because at least Duke was there to temper them a little. But if UNC is good at basketball and football, the natural order of colleges is going to be majorly out of wack

My daughter and I had a fun morning today building a snow globe at the Home Depot. It was her first time using a hammer.
