I used to try 11 when I'm an insider, but feel it's not for me. It seems like an unfinished product, so I reverted to 10. Recently get a banner showing my machine is ready for 11, and believing that problems in early days should h

At one point, many of my entertainment news in my Google feed came from WGTC, and 95% of the time, what they presented in the article simply doesn't match the given impression of its title (a clickbait, so to speak), or simply came fro

Probably because the regulations imposed on American people are far stricter than in the jurisdiction of actual residence. The article mentioned FATCA, which is a great example. As a side note, whenever I opened an account with financial in

I tend to avoid Quora mainly due to its login wall (I know how to bypass it, but to do it every time on mobile is time-consuming), only reading it if there's a "good" answer. Then again, many of the answers I found will conta

Every time I use Fandom without logging in, I will be faced with similar experience. A pop-up video with ads about the content it tried to promote (sometimes related to the content of the Wiki I visited, but mostly not) will play automatica

This reminds me of the ESS surgery I took last Sunday. The bill came at approximately $4,900, and approximately 60% goes to the physician. I didn't have insurance, so I have to pay them in full. Although I enrolled in the universal hea

The previous workplace of mine sets the signatures of my email to start with "Kind regards", and I continue to use it after I left that workplace. I now take a freelance job, and if the contact person isn't really nice to me,

I would say it's the case if the information in their primary language is sufficient (and even if it's not, there may be other sites). I defaulted to enwiki as it provides more information and less attempt to control the narrative

It's even more annoying (and takes more than 2 minutes) to do so in Windows 11. I got a hand on it some time ago (though reverted, not due to this behavior) and spend some time to change the default browser to what I'm using (Viva

Not in a sense of "signed letter", but more like a "huge feedback". Six years ago MSFT planned to reduce free storage for existing OneDrive users to 5GB (after bumping it to 15GB + 15GB of Camera Roll bonus) [1]. Like ot
