It's a funny old world. Last weekend I jailbroke my Kindle for various reasons but among them to get continuous scrolling. I never imagined people would want anything else on the desktop. Different strokes for different folks, of cours

Recently I've been annoyed with Youtube Premium. I pay for an ad-free experience and do not see ads in the traditional (wait 5 seconds to skip) way, yet more and more content has inline product promotion where time is spent thanking a

I'm curious - is there a benefit to doing so versus using Apple's Hide My Email (or a similar service) or appending +service to a gmail email address? Completely ignorant on the topic so apologies if this is a silly question.

Live in an apartment in NYC and would love some way of turning our windows into solar panels. They only thing I've seen is a ~$100 device from a company called grouphug (no affiliation) whereby a small solar panel is stuck to a window

I lived in the C# world for a while and our style guides mandated that we use those JSDoc style comments for every function definition. I loathed them. They invariable became a more verbose and completely redundant version of the function d
