TLDR: The most popular and most widely used apps, are also the apps with the highest deletion and deactivation rates. Also, users don't know how to delete apps off of their phones and have to search.

It was the same when I deleted all FB properties 3 years ago, except I never went back.

In the states, we now have them built into gas station pumps. So any time you get gas you have video ads blasting at you with some crappy loudspeaker.

Whenever one contacts me, it's usually by text spamming my private phone number that I didn't give them that's also on the do-not-call list, asking me to vote for them.

I'm not using a FF nightly build, but I initially get a screen along the lines that my browser isn't supported and a split second later it goes away and a login form pops up. There's more text but it flashes so quickly I can&

I always return/drop off at UPS. In and out in 5 minutes generally. But I guess UPS has been in the business of the extremely complicated "scan preprinted return label with hand held laser" game longer than Amazon.

Nice trip down memory lane. I still remember when I popped the 3dfx in and played quake, after playing quake on some ATI or Matrox I had (and a hell of a lot of other games before that lol). It was a transformative experience. I was stunned

No, psychedelics are supposed to be done in a clinical setting by a licensed therapist. The only thing you can buy in a store is cannabis. All we basically did is say we're not going to spend resources fighting personal amounts of drug

We legalized or decriminalized all of that stuff in Oregon 3 years ago. You can get mushrooms now. Meth, heroin, cocaine, all decriminalized. Psychedelics can be used in a clinical setting: https://www.oregonlive.com/politic

I think we will be seeing a lot more of this across all sectors too. On the local news last night, I saw the city of Portland is owed some $28M in back water bills by residents from the last 2 years as they suspended cutting people's w

Yes, but they're going away from 8266 and going to ESP32. They've already dumped support for the audio reactive version due to low processing power of the 8266. There are ESP32's in D1 Mini form factor.

Yes, but I think once we reach that point we'd also be sending out some sort of mapping probes to gather data so you know where obstructions are. And since lots of things don't just sit still, they'd have to be constantly ree

I always turn off text and voice chat as part of setting any game up. I don't care what others in a game have to say about, well, anything. I'm there to play. I rarely if ever look at the social tab of any game. One of the worst t

We used to use regular audio cassette recorders to store/restore data on the TRS80 before hard/floppy drives. It's also how you backed up/restored midi data from early synths. It basically just sounded like an early dial

I'm pleasantly surprised by this news. I never thought Apple would do this and have been quite critical of them over the years due to it. For years they've really been holding up progress with PWA. I think a majority of the apps w

Shooting down an unmanned aircraft in skies where the FAA has jurisdiction (just about all in the US) is a felony equal to shooting a manned aircraft, even hobby drones. You might not want to alert them.

This was an initiative petition referendum, nothing to do with legislators. Any citizen can make a bill and if they gather enough verified signatures from registered voters, it will be voted on by the people during a regular election. Orego
