I used to pay for a WhatsApp subscription. I remember it being a small amount per year. But they did it away with it after Facebook bought them.

Ebook DRMs are truly some of the most annoying things ever. I just want to click "Pay", and then click "download PDF" so I can annotate the books in my favorite app. Why do they have to make it more complicated than that

While we're on this topic... Late last year I wrote a detail review of a place I stayed at that was poorly maintained. I made the review very detailed, even providing picture evidence of the dirty microwave and clogged air conditioners

The atmosphere of the first Mass Effect was incredible. After more than a decade later, I still have fond memories of that game. The second one though, didn't really click with me, and I stopped playing the series there. Maybe with EA

Aside from the headaches that wearing over-ear headphones for long can give, they also leave a semi permanent dent in my hair that I absolutely hate. I am so glad that companies are moving towards noise cancelling in-ears now.

I do sort of a compromise for my messaging apps. I silence all group chats but leave notifications on for direct messages. This way I get avoid the distraction of group banter while still being able to be contacted directly when something m

I have a similar carbohydrate problem too. If I have more than a small amount of carbs in one sitting, my mind will get hazy and I'll get really sleepy an hour or so later. I did a blood test recently and everything was OK, so I'm

Same thing in neighbouring Malaysia. Everyone operates under the assumption that you are contactable via WhatsApp. Recently I even had doctor and car service appointments booked through WhatsApp.

I'm not too up to date on the news, but isn't FB building a shadow profile of everyone? So even if you're not a user, you get tracked and your data gets sold. That to me was a step too far, and got me to really scale back wha

I agree with this. I've found that for myself, reading is much more effective because everything has to go through my inner monologue first, whereas videos circumvent that. My inner monologue is where I really begin to understand /

I am inclined to agree. I've tried DDG a few times for programming stuff and the results were less satisfactory compared to Google. And actually in general, when I do searches with abstract keywords, Google gets the meaning far better

I'll give r/legaladvice a try, as well as consult some of my lawyer friends (if they aren't to busy to spare some time for my rather trivial matter, hah). Thanks for the advice!

I'm in Malaysia. We do have consumer protection laws, but it's not heavily enforced. Meaning unless a fuss is made, no one is going to bother to follow it. But on a positive note, I've heard that once you make a complaint, th

I tried a lot of prepackaged sandwiches when I lived in London, all of them sucked. Even the more expensive ones from Starbucks were bad. Maybe I'm just not a sandwich person, but I really really hate the bread that they use in the pre

I've lived in London for a few years and recently went on a trip to Dublin. I found there to be more sandwich shops (and for some reason doughnut shops) there. While London has better food overall, there is no doubt that Dubliners know

I moved away from Firefox because they removed the Ctrl+E to quick search many years ago. I know Ctrl+E is back on Firefox now but back then there was no way to set my own key commands so I tried Chrome (which kept Ctrl+E) and never turned
