Startup shortcuts are one thing to manage but it’s gotten pretty out of control for most standard software now. Perhaps it used to be one-off annoying programs like 15 years ago. Now there’s scrolling through hundreds of scheduled tasks cal

This is the kind of genius move you get when all your devs play leetcode all day and then have leetcode battles as an interview service. Hundreds of millions of hours spent microfussing over leetcode and gatekeeping work because your soluti

Are people perplexed by the prevalence of bacteria in residential washing machines? That’s what the smell is when clothes are left wet for too long or the door is left open, preventing drying. Though I wonder what effect a standard load wit

A sea of perfectly crafted misleading YouTuber pog faces isn’t necessarily better than autoplaying previews. The automatically generated thumbnails were often the best at conveying what the video actual is in combination with a title and d

Chrome developers keep adding unhinged complicated “features” that nobody wants or asked for and immediately are abused and broken. Numerous autoplaying video methods for example especially when they follow the mouse, play in the background

I haven’t used AI for sorting email yet but have over many attempts over many years tried to setup manual filters. I try to make them as absolutely bulletproof as possible but I’m still running into problems because email is so rough. Criti

Couldn’t this be easily disrupted as a watermark system by simply changing the words to interfere with the relative checksum? I suspect sentence structure is also being used or, more likely, the primary “watermark”. Similar to how you can e

I’ve been reporting major problems nonstop for the past like 20 years. It usually takes me less than 5 minutes when I first learn of some new security feature to find a problem with it. Most of that 5 minutes is physically writing my email

No developer working on account authentication for sites has ever used the correct regex to parse and validate a legitimate email. I wouldn’t be surprised to see things like if you’re at anything other than @Gmail.com the email gets flagged
