The account activation requirement sucks. It's of no benefit to users. Other companies have copied, such as the Insta360 products like their new gimbal. Fortunately I found a better gimbal without that requirement, the Hohem iSteady MT

Don't suppose you've noticed Analytics or Google Tag Manager slower than before? I've noticed when our page loads, lingering sluggish connections related to GTM, even when there's no tags apart from analytics. Prior to G

The problem there is many uncontrollable factors contributing to the data. If engagement is found to be better with A on the day, does that mean B will never be better? It doesn't. A/B testing is often conducted unscientifically

I want to see Google slapped for being naughty, but this case is weak. Defaults are defaults. What matters to users is choice. The choice is there to use a different search engine. Google widgets can be removed from phones. Much worse is wh

He mentions police showing up at someone's work regarding a tweet reported as hate-speech. Not really a laughing matter. It's a waste of police resources for starters. Dawkins is not compelling reading on this subject. But I did f

"Apple users" means a handful of Twitter users according to nypost. iPhone 15 pro is now same weight as old iphone 6s plus, which is impressive considering the screen is bigger, camera bigger, battery bigger (2750 > 3650 mAh).

That was a mess of branching logic. It's not that complicated. Attacking anyone online is never "personally asked for", nor makes great reading, particularly when there's no substance other than insults. "This perso

No objections to relevancy. I argued against emotive exaggerated statements forming the conclusions of fact-finding. Another one: "Dangerous algorithms". Can an algorithm be dangerous? Too late to debate, the fact-finding says the

The horse has bolted on the question "is that camera/mic on". If you see the camera, assume it's on. There's no going back. Often the camera/mic is dumb, oblivious to the status of downstream recording. Passive

"Almost 50" and "got a modem at 12yo" doesn't add up... 48yo today means you were 20yo in 1995, so already an adult by the time porn and pirated games were a thing? Not trying to gotcha, but I'm left with the o

Dynamic range compression helps this issue (stating the obvious). My cheap soundbar has this feature, provided the signal is dolby digital. On PC, the "normalize" audio effect is found in players such as PotPlayer or VLC.
