obenn··on AirPods with Wireless Charging Case
I'm hoping this is an indication that they will be releasing their first part charging mat (AirPower) on or before the 25th.
obenn··on Azure Data Studio: An Open-Source GUI Editor for Postgres
Yes.

“The Postgres server can be hosted on-premises, in a virtual machine (VM), or from the managed service of any cloud provider.”

obenn··on Apple Falls from First to 17th Spot in 'World's Most Innovative Company' Ranking
This is a list where an oat milk company is 9th. While one can definitely debate Apple's innovation, I wouldn't treat this list as any kind of objective indicator.
obenn··on An Update on Android Things
Wonderful, which one do you think they'll strip of useful features next?
obenn··on IE is a 'compatibility solution', to be used selectively, warns Microsoft exec
It’s worth it to not he’s not using this as an opportunity to push Edge, and in the article even recommends people to use any modern browser they choose.
obenn··on Amazon is buying Eero
Nice from a business perspective for sure. I shudder as a privacy conscious consumer.
obenn··on Amazon's Alexa talks murder, sex in AI experiment

obenn··on NYC sets $17 an hour minimum wage for Uber and Lyft drivers
I would assume it's exactly that. A passage from the article below:

"The equivalent wage for drivers, who are considered independent contractors and have to cover their own expenses, is $17.22."

It's up from 15$ baseline so I assume 2.22$/hr is what they benchmark fuel/maintenance to cost.

obenn··on Tim Berners-Lee says tech giants may have to be split up
The issue is that the firewall protects the interests of a political regime instead of a capitalist one. It is a complicated topic but I see decentralized technologies as a more viable way of preserving digital freedom.
obenn··on Pocket Casts acquired by NPR
The only caveat to this is their insight into advertisements. Lets say a podcast runs ads during its first 5 minutes, they can now tell exactly how many people are listening or skipping those ads and may be incentivized to start putting ads in the middle of podcasts, or implement some sort of non skip-able interruption.
obenn··on Linux on Samsung Galaxy smartphones
Will there be immediate driver support for the DeX docking stations? I have an S8+ and this might push me to purchasing one of the stations as well.
