I have found that touch screens work pretty well when covered in blood. Using my phone is the last thing I would be doing in a sinking vehicle and preferably outside of the vehicle.

Typing a letter, seeing the keyboard respond to show that letter was recognized... Then putting the phone down, making a sandwich, coming back, and finally seeing it actually make the key click noise and enter the letter in the input field.

It took six months to figure out how to get Alexa to change the temperature in the built in Echo of the Ecobee4 thermostat in my house. It would always respond with, "I didn't find any smart home devices." Turns out the Eco

"Alexa, what's the weather?" It proceeds to tell me the weather for a state over. "Alexa, set my location to XXXXX." It can't do that. Actually getting correct location details requires downloading a separate

The length of the movie(extended cuts are longer) and other pieces of meta data to select the correct version of the subtitles. For DVD and Bluray sources it is nearly always accurate. Though those are usually included in the MKV containe

Their subtitle font CSS is pretty poor too. I have custom CSS injected to watch anything with subtitles because their default subtitle CSS gives a choice of a large box that blocks the content or provides no outlines around the text.

The whole house hard wired smoke alarms are just SO FUN when they start to fail. The one that is failing immediately sets all of them off, but only once at 3AM every night for two weeks. So you get woken up by a brief ear piercing alarm f

Entirely the mobile side of things due to upgrading iOS. I was forced to upgrade from iOS 10 to 11 on my iPhone 6 to be allowed to use two factor authentication for my work place. Instantly it become a sluggish mess.

Networked isn't really the right term. Hardwired fire alarms are the new requirement. They just have AC power with battery backup and an additional wire that triggers all the wired alarms to go off when one goes off.

Does anyone know a replacement for Focus Last Selected Tab functionality? Meaning, when closing a tab, it focuses the previously selected tab before that one.

Yep. All that was needed to get me to switch from my current iPhone 6/iOS was a current Google branded Android phone with a headphone jack. Now there is no reason for me to switch if I am going to be stuck buying a bunch of adapters.

Broken for me. I am middle clicking to open in a new tab and Javascript is forcing it to open on the current page. Additionally, the page is blank except for a background image when Javascript is turned off.

My main computer is on the DMZ in my router so I use Little Snitch to hide the existence of all other ports and services. OS X's firewall can do this if I felt like manually configuring everything on the command line.

Yep. My next phone will be an Android device because I require the headphone jack and I do not want to deal with stupid dongles.

That is my goal right now. I am making a game that I want to play and I will release it when I feel it is worth it to do so. The key though is that I have a steady job so I have the free time to work on it without worrying about funding.

To put it in more perspective I moved to a place with a similar cost of living, but more technology oriented/in demand. This had the effect of doubling my salary.

In less technology oriented areas of the USA making $35,000 to $40,000 as a fresh graduate is pretty reasonable. That was my experience along with others in the rural area I grew up around. The only way to really break past that was to be
