I'm in the process of replacing my 7 year old personal computer but it is completely my choice to do it. My old PC is perfectly functional and is going to reused for a different purpose. If it wasn't for the fact that I have somet

Honestly, the increased RAM is probably the nicest part of my new phone and not having to wait for large apps to reload has been the biggest quality of life improvement. That said, I don't feel like it justifies the price of a new phon

My new phone has the same screen size as my old phone, and my old phone had a big enough screen that I'd need to sew custom pockets onto my pants if I went any bigger. New phone has a better refresh rate but all that does is kill the b

Software no longer being updated and battery dying (and no longer worth the cost of replacement) seem to be the only reasons other than physical damage to replace a smartphone these days. Until I accidentally shattered the screen a month ag

Forget a security expert, from what I've witnessed in a lot of industries security can be improved 100 fold by simply listing to what any half decent IT staff would recommend. So many business still think its ok to have a single login

I hate to inform you but, as someone that has to directly deal with the average person that uses technology, the vast majority of people fall into the 'too technologically illiterate to manage the apps installed on their own device&#x2

I think you missed the joke, the first line says it was a bad idea in hindsight, the second line says it was also a pretty bad idea in foresight.

The imperial system is perfect. 625,000 golf carts is one Great Pyramid, and 6,557,075 Great Pyramids of Giza is one Texas. How is this not obvious? /s Also, ChatGPT trivializes sarcastic responses that involve a bit of math.

The other advantage I've noticed occasionally when choosing to do something "quick" over doing it "right" is that the feature in question may not have any actual demand behind it. Nothing worse than spending months

To quote Terry Pratchett: 99 out of every 100 ideas they come up with are complete rubbish, but the 100th tends to be an absolute humdinger.

I was going to make a snarky comment about how when comparing the present to the past the past has the advantage because you can just ignore all of the garbage that wasn't worth remembering but then I thought, that would actually be a

I don't think two apps is the answer, they should just build a better distinction between music and podcasts into the existing app. A toggle at the top of the app that let you switch between music and podcasts would work, and that way

This describes a lot of what my life was like between the ages of 17 to 20. I would sleep for 12+ hours at a time if I got the chance and would also take constant naps. Got tested for a few things but nothing ever came up. Eventually my sle

I loved watching it as a kid and my friend convinced me to check out some modern stuff about 2 years ago and I have been having a blast watching it ever since.

Thanks for the response. Just to clarify, the 'complete idiots' comment was only applicable in the event you had completely ignored the police while gathering the evidence. Since you seemed to have been in contact with them and re

Excuse me sir, but are you implying that in 1993 at WrestleMania 9 when Giant Gonzalez knocked out the Undertaker using a chloroform soaked rag that it was all fake? If so then mister, I think you are full of crap. /s

While I do agree that what they did is risky, the article does mention that the police had already been notified after previous incidents. Of course if they failed to alert the police after they had the video evidence of the same guy vandal

True, but if you've already spent the money might as well choose a career that will at least allow you to tell your parents 'See, I told you these plastic models will pay off one day.'

According to my buddy the Canadian Navy is absolutely crawling with Warhammer players, apparently being a player has been pretty good for their career.

Its funny but the most useful feature that my GPS running watch provides me is a warning that my shoes have more than 300 miles on them. Known that information and then switching out right away helps avoid so much injury.
