I'm a fairly recent starter, but I've mostly appreciated Duolingo for giving me some kind of structured course for learning. I keep mindful of concepts I'm not understanding, and Google around for discussions on Reddit and Qu

Is that something unique to Japanese, or maybe if you're on Android? I'm learning Spanish on the iOS app. I installed the Spanish keyboard, and whenever a text field appears my keyboard is automatically set to Spanish

There's an overview for each unit section that has some pretty important explanations, and nothing really directs you towards it. Still, in terms of forums, a lot of the time Googling will lead you to various subreddits that have some

What if I stopped showering and women found me unattractive for it? And I started blaming them, saying it’s their fault I can’t bring myself to shower?

You really think if it was that easy to compete with Apple's SoCs, Google wouldn't have done it long ago for the Pixels? Or someone in the Android space would step in to compete with Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips? Samsung hasn&

Countries in North America are very big though, and time zones can be shared between multiple countries (e.g. US and Canada). Just because we span a lot of timezones here, I wouldn't be confident to say, especially thanks to the easter

We have a similar situation to Arizona here in Saskatchewan. The province has its own time zone (Saskatchewan Time) that never changes along with the rest of Canada. ...except for the fact that the city of Lloydminster is located in both Sa

It's really not that bad. Nintendo's got more confusing SKUs in some of their product lineups than that. The only thing that was stupid with Microsoft's naming was this latest generation that they call it Series S and Series

Actually it's more that Apple TV is both a piece of hardware and an iTunes-like service, while Apple TV+ is a subscription service akin to Netflix. The Apple TV hardware and the Apple TV app on your iDevice can both be used without pay

You should check out the rabbit hole of Google's various payment systems/apps. GPay, Google Pay, Google Wallet, Android Pay, etc. All the different the ways those brands (and more?) were used to describe multiple services and apps

The 1 monitor cap and the fact that it's only a 1440p resolution makes me think it's a bandwidth/latency limitation, I wouldn't hold my breath on software fixing it.

40% increase isn't even that bad compared to some I've seen. I saw that before the recent layoffs at Discord their employee headcount had grown 5x since 2020, and after the layoffs they're merely at 4x their size of 2020
