People have been complaining about the shallowness and lack of travel of the new keyboard since it came out on the new MacBook, but it's really been an issue once professionals were forced into it on their MacBook Pros. As far as the f

The New York Times is reporting that they were also able to collect likes, because this was back when likes could be harvested through the API. Through likes alone, they could supposedly determine race, gender, sexual orientation, and other

Yes, but the problem is that Facebook's API also allowed lax access to your friend data, so people who had not consented to the collection of their data through this app ended up with their data harvested as well. Also, there are vario

Yes. I've fought this battle with Logitech wireless devices for years since I upgraded to a 15" MacBook Pro with retina (USB 3 only, no USB 2) and added a USB 3.0 hub. It's impossible to put the dongle in a USB port that does

Yes on copy and paste, though you have to use a text box in the browser window (a menu on the left side) to mess with the clipboard. It's not ideal, but it's possible. I cannot remember drag & drop files off the top of my head

The preference for chicken breast in the US is because of the "low fat" focus of the past several decades. Chicken breasts have been promoted as a high protein/low fat cornerstone of a meat-eater's diet. I also wonder if

I bought an Instant Pot about 5 years ago because I saw some good recipes and a suggestion on a Paleo blog. The price on Amazon seemed reasonable at the time, so I figured "why not." It turned out to be an incredible purchase. I&#

Going from 7.1 to 7.1.1 on my Nexus 6p has ruined my battery life. Light web browsing for 1 hour in the morning while playing radio with TuneIn always cost me 10-12% of my battery. Since 7.1.1 it has cost me 30% of my battery. The battery d

I really regret buying into the Nest Cam ecosystem. I have 3 now. Sure, it's convenient to view things remotely, but I also run a NAS and I hate not having the option to record locally or serve the camera streams myself instead of rely

This is great and all, because I love Google voice search, but the problem I REALLY wish they'd solve is false triggers of "Okay, Google." I often listen to podcasts on my car bluetooth and on a bluetooth speaker at home. On
