  • Yeah I don’t know if something better is out there because solid explorer is, well, just solid. Internal storage, local file server, Google drive, one drive, sftp. Absolutely fantastic tool, bought it years ago and it goes on every phone and tablet I’ve had since. I’m really not sure what it would take to move on from it, it fulfills every need I’ve had for a file explorer.


  • Yes, absolutely. I’m a Xennial so I’m old. My world is tech because it fascinated me when I was young (and lucky enough to have access because it wasn’t a guarantee in those days) and I made a living from not being afraid of tech. I dealt with boot disks, dip switches, losing your Internet connection because someone in the house picked up the phone. My 9 year old thinks something is broken if a program asks them to update.

    We built this world of it just works to make sure boomers didn’t have a panic attack everytime they used a computer and the unintended consequence is our children panic and have no interest in understanding the the underlying process of the systems they work with, because it just works.

    I try to get my kid to care but they don’t, they just want Minecraft to work NOW.

    All that being said I also have lost interest in a lot of what’s new. I know TikTok and Whatsapp exist but I have never used them. AI feels big enough that I’ve messed around with it but I never think oh let me ask ChatGPT… I’m sure in 10 years my kids or an employee are going to laugh at me as I read documentation and forums to figure something out and they will say Bro why not just ask ChatGPT. They just want everything to work and give them the answer now and I think it’s going to blow up in all of our faces.



  • Because what you see that we call mold is the fruit of a vast root system. In hard cheese if you can cut an inch or two in every direction from the mold you likely will get the root system with it. With a soft cheese (or bread) that root system is likely spread through the food pretty thoroughly.
