  • I’d recommend weawow, it’s what I normally use. You can choose a source for your weather data, rather than just being stuck with whatever the developer chooses. Weather underground is okay. It used to be a lot better before IBM bought them out, but the UI isn’t too terrible. Carrot is also somewhat decent from what I remember.

    If you need a rock solid radar app, radarscope is phenomenal. If you’re into viewing predictive model data, flowx is probably my most used weather app during non-tornado season.
















  • Noticing some em dashes in there, so at least some of this is AI.

    The parts about corporate infrastructure sound like a c suite dipshit trying to sound like they know what they’re talking about.

    “Our networks run slower because we have to be compatible with older devices!”

    No, Judith, your IT department just keeps 2.4ghz wifi available for the old devices while also running 5ghz. Those devices stay slow, but it doesn’t impact anyone else.

    “Back in 2010, 100Mb internet was the fastest! No one could imagine gigabit becoming widely available! Stuff needs to be upgraded to handle it!” Judy, tons of businesses were running gigabit in 2010, and common network gear has had gigabit ports for years. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

    I also have big hands, but some plug designs are so low profile that if they are plugged into a particularly tight receptacle, you can’t get good leverage to remove them. You get the plug partially out, then try to reposition your grip to pull it the rest of the way or you grab it too far forward and your fingers slip while squeezing, and BAM, zapped.

    Power strips are the biggest culprit for this one, since your fingers can end up on the seam between cord and strip and more easily slip under when unplugging.
