Is it really discontinued yet? If anything it's an ongoing naming blunder with no end in sight. There are two products called Google Meet now. The web interface for the former Google Duo is duo.google.com, just rebranded to Google Meet

I have been researching VPN protocols that work in China and found that Xray [0] is the most recommended route to escape the GFW. An ideal VPN setup is one where packets appear as normal https traffic. Some VPN setups take it a step further

I really want to love my Fairphone 4 but they really need to improve their software support. I have a bunch of bugs with my device: the screen dims after a short period making it unusable in bright daylight, NFC is erratic and needs a resta

Clipper was an awful experience for a non-American like me when I visited last year. I couldn't install the mobile app (the app listing is region locked to the US). I couldn't set it up on Google Pay either (the Google Pay offerin

I've been using Kagi for a few months and while it is better than Google/DDG in many aspects, it still inherits the problem of ignoring words in queries. Also, the "International" region has a strong American bias. Googl

Google Maps without internet is barely usable. It only has driving directions which is pretty useless if you are on foot or a bike. It's actually astonishing that Google Maps can create an offline navigation plan for a vehicle that wei

Bikes get stolen all the time in Amsterdam. Just earlier this year I forgot to lock my bike and it was promptly stolen. Bike theft is so common that the police can't even dedicate resources to the problem. I can't imagine a city l
