    I still prefer the boring granny smith when they're perfectly tart and crispy, can't be beaten, outside of their season it's a little hit and miss however.

    For me workspaces are the biggest draw and thing I appreciate with Zen. I've also been daily driving it for about 6 months now.

    Got a couple side gigs and different personas and it's nice to have a seperate view and essential tabs for what ever I'm working on.

    This also links in well with the inbuilt Firefox containers, I'm sure this could be replicated using profiles etc but works for me!

    Great to see, I know it's controversial but I don't see any other way to move from coal and gas as base load in the next 20 years for most economies. I really hope SMRs end up being the stop gap...

    Pretty awesome video of what’s believed to be the first documented (juvenile) colossal squid. Always been fascinated by these, thought someone else might find it interesting too!

    Yeah I use this religiously between my Mac, windows and android devices. Had a recent update that makes it far quicker for larger files also. Would recommend!

    Would love to try if anyone's got one kicking around, been off google for some time now and nothing comes close to competing with it imo.

    Seen a few classics mentioned so why not: I Am Legend

    Short read, very different to the movie that came out in the 2000. Set the stage for modern dystopian fiction. Mixed critical reception but I personally really enjoyed it.

    Yeah for sure test after using the tweaks, you can always revert them, I've had no issues with the recommended ones personally. Also handy to install a bunch of programs on a fresh install.

    I'd recommend checking out Chris Titus Win Util that's really come together over the last couple years, lots of inbuilt scrips that are great.

    Check it out on GitHub: Windows Utility

    If you want to install it for free you'll need to use the command line to spin it up, but it's pretty straightforward, otherwise there is an exe.

    I’ve just started the 5th Murderbot book, Network Effect, and I know what you mean - it’s not quite as gripping as the shorter stories. I can’t quite pinpoint why, but maybe it’s the timeline shifts? The flashbacks seem to pull you out of the main plot.

    I don't know if this is related however I see your point, taxes do not imply the creation and management of their content.

    Do you consider the person who manufactured the camera they're using to be involved in the content creation? Or the electrician who put in the power to the studio etc.

    I guess technically but it's not quite the same question imo.

    Interesting question however, wonder how many things we could do truly alone.
