I admit I'm not great at legal stuff, but the article I read stated the broadband industry is involved: "The Trump administration and broadband industry are resuming their fight against California's net neutrality law, with t

Sadly, 3 years of updates is really above and beyond in the Android world. Many get 2 years but most are abandoned even earlier.

I think it's still way too big. I'd really like a decent phone with a height under 5 inches. At 4.8 inches tall, the Incredible 4G LTE from 2012 remains my favorite phone. The 4A is at least smaller than the 3A (my current phone),

It's a way to do hyperlinked text when true hyperlinked text is not available. Links in mid-text are really annoying, so we replace them with a 'footnote'. I agree it's a little bizarre when it's a single line of te

I dunno, man. I'm pretty well-versed in math and I find this page kind of baffling. I'm sure it's one of those things that is very easy to use once you learn it, but at least this introduction is very daunting. To do a basic

A billion years ago (2006 or so probably), I impulse bought four or five of the Elite model all at once. Probably to save on shipping or some dumb thing, I don't remember. At the time I had gone through three of the keyboards by spilli

Yeah, as soon as that Vice article came out it was clear they were toast. You don't brag like that and get away with it.

I know! If we tax them too much, they'll have to... live like 98% of the country already does[1]. That's totally comparable to being killed. Good analogy. [1] Top 1% of earners are those above $750,000 https://www.inves

If I did my math right[1], the ones ""earning"" $2,100,000 will have to pay an extra $13,000. How will they survive? Golly. [1] (1,000,000 * 0.01 + 100,000 * 0.03 = 10,000 + 3,000 = $13,000)

Imagine deciding to move because the tax bill on your $1,100,000 salary increased by $1,000. What a hardship.

Yeah. I used to be all-Newegg for tech stuff, but the 3rd party marketplace made them no better than Amazon, so I quit bothering going to Newegg. Honestly, Best Buy is my first choice for tech stuff today, although their selection is more l

No one suggested that there are any easy solutions, rather that ignoring health and economic experts and basing public policy on fantasy and Internet conspiracy theories has lead to a worse outcome.

It's funny how any involvement with cryptocurrencies is now an immediate red flag. Is there any use for cryptocurrencies in 2020 that isn't either an outright scam or a pump-and-dump scheme?

On Android, most apps include toggles in settings to disable different notification types. It's annoying that they're on by default, but at last you can usually disable them. In Firefox, you can turn off the "Product and feat

I suspect that approximately no one reads that "What's new" section, and they know it. Even Google just leaves it with whatever happened to be in the field in summer of 2018 when they stopped updating it.
