Yeah I was actually pretty surprised. I totally expected to get sent a link to their Q&A and be basically told "goodluck". But they stuck with me for quite awhile trying to figure something out.

I agree, I think University in it's current form has been more about being able to efficiently cram as many students into programs as possible and keep pumping out the degrees. The goal no longer seems to be too focused on the educatio

When I got a Google Home device it would not work to recognize my voice during the setup process and I eventually ended up somehow in contact with Google support. It was surprisingly one of the best support interactions I've actually h

I keep a backed up list of all my 2fa codes in a password/key encrypted storage. I am trying to avoid the kind of situation you described. I have A LOT of accounts with 2fa now, and losing access to the 2fa app would be an incredibly f

You joke, but you pay for the increased Google storage on your account you likely do get access to support you can reach.

Yes, but the OP of this comment thread you tagged along on said they preferred it the other way: > No, I don't need a pop-up if you want to reroute me around an accident. If it's faster - just reroute me, if it's not - don

Yes but what I mentioned does not require any interaction, it still does change the route to a faster one without having to do anything. I don't see how that makes a difference in safety? I am not worried about people using a GPS on th

Some courses seem to put far too much emphasis on the memorization aspect of the courses, which has always seemed silly to me. For so many jobs you are not required to memorize a ton of information and instead can refer to manuals, textbook

I like all the things in Google Maps that you disagree with. Maybe you're just not the target audience and should switch to an app that works better for your needs? Google Maps does automatically choose the better route if it finds one

I've had people show me things at work on things like reddit and I always try and avoid looking at their username simply because I don't want to be tempted to check what kinds of things they post. I've seen co-workers reddit

If you have two factor auth on and generate an "app-specific password" doesn't this allow you to do the same thing still? You just use your email and app-specific password to login and it should work still shouldn't it?

I often find myself constantly deleting/ignoring these emails instead of just hitting "unsubscribe". It's so weird how our human laziness works because I swear not many people unsubscribe from emails even though it is ty

I personally am fine sticking with Gmail as I really enjoy the interface/features. One of the things I really like is the scripting I can do with Google Sheets, Gmail, and my Google Calendar. I have some pretty nice automations setup t

The other commenter put it better than I would. But Canada is so multi-cultural there really isn't one "Canadian Culture". Most of our "Canadian content" is no different than American content, it just happens to be

Radio stations in Canada already are required to have a portion of their content be "Canadian". And other than ads it is actually one benefit of getting away from listening to radio and switching to streaming services. You're

This is my thing as well. I work at vaccine clinics and obviously am onboard with the vaccines, however I still feel bad helping administer these vaccines to people who are hesitant. Because of government vaccine mandates or employer vaccin

That problem is just with an Apple user to an ex-Apple user. In other words it's a problem that Apple exclusively created and they benefit from not fixing it. It just means a current Apple user goes to text you and Apple thinks you are

I actually only recently switched to Edge and have been enjoying it. Google is not totally innocent in this battle either. At least once a week if not more often when I am in my Gmail, on my Google Calendar, or on the Google search pages I

Yeah, unfortunately I don't even really consider Firefox when I am considering browser options anymore.

Oh for sure, I even use services like camelcamelcamel on Amazon to ensure I am getting a good price. It's unfortunate that we have to rely on third party services just to get more fair consumer standards.

I feel like every browser but maybe Chrome has tried to shove some kind of bloatware into their product. For example, Firefox has tried for ages to cram Pocket down peoples throats and people seem fine with that. I don't agree with any

I personally don't worry about coupons, I worry about how sites can use data about me to dynamically adjust prices to "what I'll pay", instead of giving the same price to everybody. From my understanding sites like Amazo

Nvidia RTX voice does similar. It's pretty similar to other technology though where it focuses more on removing background noise. It actually works very well. It would definitely be interesting to see it also filter speech itself. But

I can understand your point a bit more about wondering about one-time fee versus subscription as you were operating under the assumptions of recurring server costs. I was aware they were using Chrome.Sync and that it did not impose a cost s

What? I think it makes much more sense for this to be a one-time payment. I am actually surprised to see anybody advocating for a subscription over a one-time payment. Plenty of products I have used have had one time payments and it has wor

I know here in Ontario, Canada we do have regulations for ebikes. They are not allowed to exceed 32km/h (or ~20 mph). This seems like a somewhat reasonable limit. They also impose other requirements like minimum wheel widths, having tw

Is it really liability? Because I really doubt that. People modify vehicles all the time and it causes unsafe driving that can lead to collisions. The car manufacturer doesn't get sued because somebody made a stupid change. Maybe it co

Okay but we are talking about YouTube. YouTube doesn't even do this. Nothing changes about your experience watching a video if it has a lot of dislikes.

Yeah this doesn't make sense. I don't know if they don't understand how YouTube works, but downvoting something doesn't remove the content from view. On sites like reddit and hackernews downvoted comments become less vis
