I was looking at the bill from Weimar Germany that says "Zwei Billionen Mark" with the caption of "Two trillion mark" and I was like, did they get that wrong? I looked it up and sure enough the German word for trillion i

Anytime I need to use the browser on my phone, I'm shocked how bad and unusable the web is. I move back to my laptop with an ad blocker if I want to do anything other than a quick Google search. A few mainstream sites like Google and Y

If feel like at this point, Windows is eventually going to switch to ARM it's just a matter of overcoming a lot inertia. ARM and RISC processors in general are now proven to be better than x86. If Microsoft invests in making Windows fo

Does anyone know what this might mean for when it could be released to the general public? Living in the northeast US, I would certainly love to have this!

I never put two and two together but I think this tracks with my experience. I don't get deep sleep like I used to. For the last few years, I dream and wake up multiple times every night. I used to sleep through the night and only drea

I hope the FAA and EVTOL companies can work this out and these new rules don't significantly disrupt or destroy such a nascent industry. Of course the aircraft need to be safe but I hope there will still be a clear path for them to bec

I will say, not all bike lanes are created equal. In the Netherlands, a lot of bike lanes are built as proper infrastructure. They're separated with a curb, nicely paved, free of debris, heck they often have their own traffic lights. I

It might not be a silver bullet to solve all of the US's healthcare issues but it could certainly fix a lot. If you combine all the US government's healthcare spending, it spends more per capita than any other country and it still

Wow, it really takes an insane amount of money these days to make a leading edge fab. I really hope they can pull this off and it doesn't end up like Foxconn in Wisconsin...

In many places, heat pumps and electric hot water heaters would work great! Even in relatively cold places, heat pumps can still work. My office in Vermont switched over to using heat pumps to heat and cool the entire building and we have p

Two years into the pandemic, I've wondered why Amazon still allows counterfeit KN95 to be sold all over their site. It's really hard to verify that the masks you're buying actually have the rating they claim unless you buy fr

I always preferred gas stoves over electric too until I learned what a massive source of indoor air pollution they are. They natural gas gives off tons of particulates too small to see and create levels of air pollution that if it were outs

Sometimes I wonder if human innovation sits on an S-curve and we alive today plus a few generations before us just experienced the steep part. Maybe it will flatten out again. Although who knows, maybe not.

I get frustrated with Google Docs because there's no good way to organize your documents into folders. Technically, there's a way to do it but Google makes it a pain in the ass and purposely hides it from you. Instead, they show a

This reminds me of when the spacebar stopped working in the YouTube search box. I thought my keyboard broke for a sec until I realized it worked just fine everywhere but YouTube. Then later I found out it wasn't just me... https:&#x2F

Alternatively, if you want to flip back to the old UI in Firefox 89, you can go to about:config, search for browser.proton.enabled, set it to false, and then restart. That should do it too.

Side note: I don't know how often this happens but it's kinda cool that Firefox went straight from 87.0 to 88.0 without any sub-versions. They didn't seem to have any security/bug patches, they just got it right on the f
