How fast are Backblaze transfer speeds these days? I wasn't a huge fan of the client, but running something third party like Arq[1] felt like a bad workaround. [1]: https://www.arqbackup.com

This is a bit confusing, but the UX around is also not great. Can't we have some basic place where we can see our alotted number of searches for one, especially as it's now set to change? On top of how there's not only new an

I like the e-mail service, especially for newsletters, but the UX is also a little weird the other way around: I ended up disabling the feature by accident, because I didn't know it was tied to the privacy extension which I otherwise d

We're going to end up in a weird situation where we just download all this stuff through storefronts like Steam instead of open websites on Google, if they keep this up. Doesn't help that Windows' own app store is a huge mess

There has definitely been some more getting through the filters the past few weeks for me. Maybe January is a special month for spam or something.

The Planned Drives feature telling you the best time to leave sounds pretty cool. I just wish there were a good Google alternative for it. Especially if you manage to plot the congestion graph for the entire day. https://techcrun

People have been dunking on LastPass for a very long time. I haven't seen the same infosec people do the same with 1Password and Bitwarden. The constant criticism was a bit push to finally get me to move to 1P. The one good thing about

I moved all my stuff to Thunderbird a while ago, and unless you have more specific demands, having a basic self-run RSS reader beats just about all fancy hosted solutions out there. Old-school e-mail works well a lot of the time too.

I know no one at Apple uses iTunes on Windows, but surely these people read books ? And yet the iBooks experience has been a disaster for years with little to no improvement.

I don't see Twitter as "dying" in the near future per se, but I think people are generally winding down their activities on the platform. There's obviously a parallel trend of people trying to rid themselves of social me

Has anyone here experimented with IPFS to create a mirrored video archive for things like their YouTube channels? I don't hear much about IPFS these days.

Twitter's done similar stuff too: https://www.vox.com/2014/11/26/11633282/twitters-now-collect... . It's one of those things about privacy like Steve Jobs said: "Privacy is knowing what you

Fastmail is awesome. I'd combine DDG Email with their Masked Email in the cases where you want to strip image tracking and opaque tracking urls from your links.

Remember the good old days of talking about a "semantic web"? Now we just get one Google results page of SEO'd garbage with no way to process them. I can't help plug kagi.com, which has the amazing feature of grouping SE

Does the Adult content filter trigger Restricted Mode on YouTube like CloudFlare's 1.1.1.3? That was the one reason I had to give up using adult filters like that.

One of the craziest things about YouTube search I don't understand is how you'll search for the name of someone, and their channel won't show up in the first results. Sometimes, often really, it won't show up at all, and
