Isn't a template just an empty document/file/archive stored in a specific folder somewhere? That doesn't require and special technical knowledge or anything, just save an empty file there. I have a dozen or so software s

The ribbon replaced menus. These menus no longer exist. The sidebars also no longer exist, but they didn't have as much functionality as the menus did.

Alt-D. I have this shortcut so well ingrained in my head that duckduckgo is nearly broken for me. They have a single shortcut alt+d that searches for results from the same domain. This is enabled by default, so if you use ddg as your defaul

I live in the US. I've used iPads in The doctor's office. I know how to input text on them and tap onscreen buttons; I haven't any idea how to get to the home screen to launch another app, much less do anything else. The most

Clickbait, yes. To be fair, though, the top image is frequently stock photos, and they probably just did a search for riot or something and picked the first result.

I bought my last name in the .family TLD. Most websites take it just fine, but not my insurance or my bank(?). To them, they just don't exist.

I know only a comparatively small number of people who own library cards. You cannot check out an ebook from the library without a library card. You cannot get a lovely card without physically entering the library. If you did not have a lib

Firefox focus has an emphasis on privacy. That means no history and no bookmarks. No history means no cache. No cache means I have to refetch all resources every time I open it--if this is, say, a list of articles from a limited selection o
