If you use Mozilla Firefox, try the reader mode. It works on both desktop and Android. I highly recommend it when websites have funky stuff going on like this.

The AGPLv3 or later is both free and open source and should be the de facto license of choice in my opinion for mass adoption.

I found this source about pixel phones and bypass charging. I also know anecdotally that leaving phones plugged in with screen on, I have gotten spicy pillows more than once. I would love to learn how to avoid this spicy pillow problem. ht

There has been some noise about wireless charging causing faster battery degradation because the batteries are usually warmer with wireless charging. Could be a specific hardware or firmware defect only on the iPhone 14 line, I am not sure.

Another problem is the constant charging and discharging of battery while connected to external power. I believe the latest pixels got or will soon get the ability to run directly off the wall when connected to certain chargers. I would lov

Thank you for proving how hard it is to get across to people. I don't want to discourage home ownership. On the contrary, I want home ownership to be easier. However, that requires homes to be abundant and cheaper. We can't have b

> 400 million weekly active users I find it interesting that it doesn't say "paying" users. Also, I remember there was at least one time when the New York Times allegedly gave away newspapers to boost circulation numbers.

I will never forget the situation of a friend whose father committed check fraud in her name when she was still a child meaning she was never able to have a bank account in her name her whole life (without sending her father back to jail).

I remember things differently. Perhaps it was because I was working with older hardware or something I don't know but Windows 2k felt so slow to boot. I know it isn't a fair comparison since the computer with windows XP was newer
