I recon you mean that the GIF is animated? I tried pasting this with the article URL in Whatsapp (web), but it did not render any animation for me. Care to elaborate on why you posted this?

I was diagnosed with ADHD at 38, and never expected to hear that diagnosis. Main reason was my misunderstanding of what ADHD is. Like most people, I just naively associated ADHD with hyperactive kids, and thought I was just lazy and having

The one thing that is often a dead giveaway is how many stimulants seem to have the opposite effect on people with ADHD. I have ADHD, amfetamines help me relax, caffeine causes me to fall a sleep, some anti-allergy medication can cause me t

Kinda disappointed the article doesn't mention what happens with the remaining items at the end of the week... I'm guessing most of it goes to the trash/landfill. But maybe some of it is packaged up again and distributed back

NewPipe has a few features that I like, but let's be real: most people use NewPipe for the 'privacy' feature AKA: blocking ads. At the risk of being downvoted for having an unpopular opinion: but if circumventing ads is your

I just wish it would do 4K resolution out of the box. The hardware can do it, it's just that the system settings won't show you the 4K resolution option for some reason. But you can do some hacks to make it appear and then it work

For those unaware: the Volkswagen Up! is a small, low-budget car produced by VW group, it's also sold as the Škoda Citigo and Seat Mii. AFAIK it was only sold in Europe and Latin-America. A family member had a early-gen Up!, and the OE

I don't understand this sentiment. Should all VW drivers have a "I hate Hitler" sticker on their car too? Because in case you aren't aware: VW was started by the German Labour Front (part of the Nazi party). Adolf Hitler

I use Google Workspace for my personal domain. It does support a catch-all, and as a nice perk you get more storage for your drive compared to a free Gmail/Google account. You can even add more domains for free, because you pay per use

That's really cool! Looks like you found the same resources as I did on the AVC-LAN inner workings. It's also fun to see how each Toyota product uses the same modules and buttons, just different layouts and front panel designs. Yo

Well in all fairness, the first laptops were also barely usable. Ever seen the horrible LCD screen on an early 90s laptop? Being an early adopter will always have downsides, but give it a few more years and the glasses will get better.
