Reading Time: 9 minutes When I 1st started to working in the US, back in year 2000, I had an HP-UX workstation. Something like below. You probably wonder how was it in terms of the user experience. I would say not that great. Please note around at time, Unix workstations were actually quite popular in many places, including the
Reading Time: < 1 minute I wrote about it last year. And I just commented on Twitter about a question. I just noticed my 1st gen AirPods Pro is $258.19 on Amazon. Maybe I should tell my 14 year old to sell it and buy a new one 🙂 Other headsets I used and am using Another headset or headphone
Reading Time: 3 minutes and I got to learn how to connect the water supply to the fridge’s water dispenser/ice maker. We bought the fridge from Costco. Our old one eventually gave up last week (between Thursday and Sunday). I recall I talked about it here (this “GE Refrigerator Ice Maker not working” section). And on Sunday when I
Reading Time: 3 minutes I think this is true for my 13-year-old. Yesterday evening I gave my 2-year-old iPhone 12 to her after I migrated everything to my new iPhone 15.

Reading Time: 3 minutes (Update 03-20-2024) The phone works great. But it seems I cannot get the Sim Lock to work. Also they only have 3 attempts: the 1st time I didn’t know what I was doing (I thought I was going to set it up), the 2nd time I followed the wrong advice from Google Gemini (the default
Reading Time: 4 minutes (Update 11-11-2023) I got the new iPhone 15. In the process of setting it up. So far fairly smooth, in terms of transferring the content over from my old iPhone 12. The only minor hiccup is the eSim (Wikipedia, Apple) on the new phone: I went inside the Mint Mobile app and did it. I

(09-25-2023) And now I realized I had an issue with the jeans. Googled it and it seems people were talking about it on Reddit.
Reading Time: 4 minutes I am trying to fix small things myself these days, this is probably true for many other people too. Replace the cell battery for the car keys For example, recently I found out the new Car key (new to me anyway, it’s a used 2020 Toyota Camry key, so a few years old in reality),
Reading Time: 4 minutes No I don’t drive the Rivian but I drive the Toyota Sienna next to it: owned it for 9 years now (since summer 2013). It was the main car (minivan) I drove in last 9 years, with the exception of sometimes I drove my wife’s Camry for the purpose of saving gasoline, or taking care
