Sometimes I end up failing them deliberately. I can't boycott them because they're often in the way of important sites. So my small, practically invisible protest is to never click more than 3 times. If you want me to pick out all

Yes, you can micromanage roads if you like using the forbidden zone tool. You can also shape the roads by plopping a building into the middle of a path and forcing the citizens to route around it. But, by and large, the roads are generated

Facebook kinda lets you do this now. Filling out a preference sheet, that is. Buried in your ad settings is a list of what FB thinks are your interests. You can remove any that don’t match. Doesn’t always work though. You can remove all “in

Foundation does this. No road building at all. Paths are created organically by activity. In addition, the player never builds houses either. The townspeople pick where they want their house to go. There is road building in Banished, but th

Whats interesting to me is the transition period in screenwriting. From the early 2000s to the early 2010s, characters would be shown carrying phones but would still get into situations which could be solved easily with their mobile. But th

I spend more time at /r/wow than I probably should. Lots of people cancelling. Lots of people uninstalling if they've already unsubbed. Or at least claiming to. It's the internet so who knows if they're telling the

Tap the menu button. Tap “Turn off touchscreen”. That takes care of what is a major annoyance. This is on my 3rd gen Oasis. I don’t know if this feature is available on yours.

You can. At least on the Oasis. Tap the menu button. Tap “Turn off touchscreen”.

In case of fire, seems like you only need to memorize the passwords for your email accounts. Everything else can be fixed with “reset your password” links. I’ve sometimes wondered if that would be a useful security scheme. Using email as a

I had a related thought: this was going to be a collection of dead startup tchotchke. The t-shirts, pens, light-up pens, etc. with long forgotten logos. That would be a fun and depressing collection. The thought made me a little sad because

Amazon will sell you the current issue of a newspaper or magazine in Kindle format. You can get today’s New York Times for a dollar. Not as nice as a day pass to the site, but it’s one option. Kindle books can be updated with the publisher’

I'd think Facebook has an interest in showing ads people will like. Or at least will tolerate. Not just for getting the click through rates as high as possible, but also because ads for things you dislike will negatively affect your ex

I still think it was inaccuracy. Once I was bored enough to dig through all the ad settings. For those who don't know, there's a section called "interest settings" that's buried inside of "category settings&quo

Majority of the religious ads I see are for church services or special events. What time, where, etc. There are many aimed at proselytization. There's a surprising number which are just sermons in text form, or just rants. Plus there&#

I think this depends on what the ads are being used for. Majority of ads I see are for church services, or long rants on a particular religious topic by individuals who aren't selling anything. Most of my religious ads are not part of

You're probably right and it isn't necessarily a huge flaw. But, the failures are interesting. Especially when it involves a subject where the for / against lines are so clearly drawn. If Facebook is failing at such an easy s

In my experience, this is incorrect. Majority of the religious ads are directly from churches or individuals. And, what's interesting to me, is most of those ads are from people who have no experience with marketing. The ads are often

It would be interesting to know the return. Probably only 10% of my religious ads come from large, well-funded churches or organizations with any remote understanding of marketing. The rest are largely just "here's our meeting tim

I don't use Instagram much, but I am on Facebook too often. The limitations of the advertising algorithms are very interesting to me. For example: I participate in ex-evangelical groups because of my childhood experiences. Also follow

It is. But people can adapt. Many people these days grind up their oxy and snort it. Probably not a healthy thing to do in many ways, but still safer than injections. And definitely better than having used needles lying around. Patches woul

Legal opiates wouldn't be laced with fentanyl. They'd be tightly regulated. And it would probably be packaged in ways that wouldn't require injection. That sort of packaging would probably be part of the regulations. No one w

I guess that's part of the problem. No one outside of Microsoft is sure. The uncertainty has completely overshadowed the launch. One minute, they're talking about "soft floors", and the next they're saying it will r

One of the ironies of this situation is that Windows 11 does well on the Core2Duos. At least the ones with 8 gigs / SSD, based on what I've seen people post online. I've seen people claim the 11 leak is performing better than

Apple did the same thing. Big Sur will only show you the percentage. Not the estimated runtime. You can find the estimated runtime by looking at the energy tab in Activity Monitor. There are also 3rd party tools that will show it. But by de

Good news is you can still anchor the taskbar to the left. At least you can within the leaked ISO. Bad news is that the smallest taskbar size is bigger than the current smallest size.

A couple of reasons. First of all, the UI is just a means to an end. If it changes just for the sake of re-arranging, then people have to put in more effort to accomplish the same thing they were doing before. Sure, most people will eventua

Even that seems like it's much simpler now. The desktop player I use has Chromecast support. Haven't connected a PC to the TV in ages. I don't have an Apple TV, but I would imagine Airplay support isn't difficult to find
