New comment on Review: Dygma Raise split mech­anical key­­board for enthusiasts:

Noexcuses

Wish ai had come across this review earlier before I bought a Raise 2. The folks and some of their “backers” are a bit tone deaf on improving the product which arrived with connectivity issues, firmware issues and generally offered a sub-par experience for a keyboard touted as “premium”. Build quality is good, customer service offers non actionable answers and some folks who bought a Defy have the same issues, still unresolved, after almost a year. Dogma either is content with their offering or just doesn’t want to listen to impartial feedback from folks who put their money into their unfinished product.

why not just use the reset tool for the yubikey? which effectively deregisters it.

New comment on Can you use a WebP file as an Open Graph Protocol image?:

Darek Kay

That's a great post and it once helped me with the decision whether I should use "legacy" formats. By now, the majority of the providers supports WebP (Teams being the only exception I have found), and Facebook even supports AVIF OG images.

Here's my summary: https://darekkay.com/blog/open-graph-image-formats/

Have you tried xDrip+? It is way better than the Dexcom app for me and I think it works for the freestyle sensors too.

Just get the ZSA Voyager or Moonlander and you can customize the keys and put them wherever you want.

New comment on A Sony Headphones app feature kills your phone’s battery life:

Valentyn Parkhomenko

It is true, ive noticed 30% battery drain within 24 hours simply staying at home where my location is actually saved and has functions disabled. Thats a disaster. I had to disable all of these nice to have feature and considering now to buy something different like sonos.

New comment on PCMag’s VPN review-ratings compared to sales commissions:

DexLab

Some of the chart's lines in dark mode are white and makes the text look almost invisible.

New comment on Devices that speak in the night:

DexLab

My Eufy RoboVac doesn't come with network capabilities but, for reasons that I don't know, randomly beeps every once in a while on the charger, and this happens even when the main power switch is set to off! Does it want to be let out and walked?

New comment on How to remove the Adobe Acrobat Update service:

Kena

Thanks! I additionally also deleted another left-over, a scheduled task "Adobe Acrobat Update Task". This task tries to start AdobeARM.exe at logon of any user and 8:00 each day. Open "Task Scheduler" and you should be able to delete or disable it there.
