I agree with those reasons, not sure my will is weakening, so I'll add: vendor versions of Android, the dreaded "Android" slowdown, and slower/choppier performance - generally - when comparing latest releases of hardware

I guess Facebook is the new “talk radio” but the amount of info it can deliver into your brain is a factor more than what talk radio used to deliver.

I joke that I want a YouTube “for adults”. Not “adult YouTube”. But the stuff they push on me would be appropriate for, uhh.. youth of a certain age. But I never click on them, I never will, I don’t understand why their algorithm can’t see

I have this problem too. Things keeping me away from Apple Music: 1) I like being able to use my Amazon Echo and my Roku to run my Spotify. 2) I can't use Soundiiz (or similar) to sync Artists & Albums from Spotify to Apple. Right

Do they encourage people to buy a new phone every year? I don't think most people get a new phone every year, hence the "is this worth the upgrade?" Conventionally speaking, most tech reviewers tend to suggest that the latest

The people who love SF don’t seem to want it SF-ier, otherwise these proposals would pass (I’ve also lived in Cow Hollow and Bernal Heights). I work in the city with SFers. They all complain incessantly about their apartments, the noise, th

Isn’t this post popular because it’s not really seen here as a real defense? Or, if it’s real for her, it should be real for others. Meaning, it’s exceptional.. meaning, not likely to be a successful tactic by a PD.

I barely use email anymore, and I don't really use any chat apps. I think about moving off Gmail, but 99% of my emails are from retailers I shop with. Newsletters are now RSS, email with humans.. doesn't happen much, etc etc. Busi

I see your other posts here, about tackiness. You've gotta be trolling.. Apple is well known to have some of the highest sales-per-sq-foot among retailers.

Not me.. I’m exactly the opposite. Happy to WFH forever, and I’m in senior management at a financial services company. Seems we each have to make our stands with every article on this. But I’m not sure any of them are saying anything differ

I’ve always told people if they like their parents enough and the circumstances are positive, living with your parents longer can be a great option. I moved out of my parents’ home when I was 16 and never looked back. My 16 year old isn’t l

There are writers and artists whose work weren't discovered until after their death. Being a "good writer", IMO, is a technical determination.. whereas being a "good author" might be a tactical one -- sales, acclaim

The list of resident services on the OP link lists exclusively "per night" accommodations... which makes the list kind of useless for the purpose of the visa consideration. Guessing there are monthly/annual leases that aren&#

Possibly, I looked up cox.com and it redirected to https://www.cox.com/residential/home.html so I thought that might be it. I remember seeing @cox in the email though.

I occasionally see a public-ish figure with a website where they publish their email address. This last week, saw someone who advertised their "@cox.com" address. I move way too often to have any kind of confidence in a utility em

Some of my favorite moments in time are traveling to some city and carving out time to visit a locally run bookstore. I can point to books on my bookshelf and recall precisely the year and store from which I purchased it. Maybe bookstores a

I have a 2013 MacBook Air that I still love. Works fine for 90% of everything I want. Only recently started to feel sluggish for Camtasia & Premier Pro video editing. I love Linux, have used it from the very beginning, want to use it on

I like Whole Foods but a good number of the vegan products I buy are available cheaper at Target now, esp frozen. So I make the rounds... Safeway, Sprouts, a local gourmet shop, etc. I don’t like what Amazon has done to the selection, and t

I spent a lot of time digging through all the oft-mentioned search engines here, and the interfaces between G, B, DDG and the others (Runnaroo, Startpage, etc) are all surprisingly similar. And they're all pretty unappealing (to me). V

My son got the Hungarian middle name, but we went with a Greek first name, partly because it didn't map to our Hungarian family, but also something I thought my elderly father could pronounce, in his heavy accent. We'd had girl na

I prefer jelly/jam for PB&J sandwiches on bread, but long-sliced bananas when I'm making rice-cake PB&banana snacks. Round rice cakes & curved bananas are a different issue.

IMO: I'm not sure I want the 15 largest tech companies having as much policy influence across the globe as they do. For that reason, it may be reasonable to 1) resist them, 2) encourage others to resist them.

From the article: "The South Mound was capped in 1996, the North Mound the next year. Shortly after that last barge arrived in 2001, the park’s design contest, sponsored by the Municipal Arts Society, was complicated when debris from t
