It's "reduce, reuse, recycle" in that order. The most sustainable product is a product built to last.

In the US a common version of this is for ADA laws on government websites. Many(most?) .gov domains aren't compliant. [1] Interestingly, successful lawsuits for private company websites breaching ADA have increased over the past couple

I was going to disagree with you on the sites accessibility but after taking a closer look it is pretty bad, though for different reasons. Tables everywhere, missing alt tags, doc language missing, no form labels.. As far as aesthetics I ac

Imagine how many pages serving content, product demos, tutorials, etc are affected by this yt outage. Good case for hosting your own content/diversifying.

Looks like she has been interested for many years "This wasn’t the first time that Wakamiya took on a challenge. She’s been dabbling in the tech field since the age of 60."

This is unfortunate for everyone involved. The author feeling misrepresented on a successful product display sucks. I imagine the person who generated the graphic for the box is being talked to as well. Often images have misrepresented copy

I still use the Mac Pro (similar specs as mentioned - no trashcan) as a workstation today. Nothing too heavy, but it works for the basics. Crazy that a desktop from over 7 years ago can still upgrade to the same RAM as today's best &#x

Yes! Loading many sites without width/height set on mobile connections display a horrible jitter with logos and social icons polluting the entire screen initially.

It's regulatory capture we're living with.

All to make the powerful(AKA monopolistic oligarchy of corporations) even more satiated with control.

Doesn't take much to add html local storage natively to run this as a web app. Still js free.

Using inputs and pure css imo is a superior method to deliver content tabs and other similar UI. Minimal markup for a fully functional non js bound interface

This just in: Current FCC siding with corporations in the name of (but without) consumer interest. Not great that every decision coming out of the FCC regulatory body as of late is beneficial to a small group of companies.

Practical benefit: users and search engines parse the content of the page for information about the subject matter, including Google Images. I agree having an img with an empty alt tag is OK, but it's not helping search optimization an

Actually, browsers do change behavior because of it[1], and users do get affected by it[2]. Google have said last year they ignore the lang tag but they do use the hreflang attribute[3] [1] https://www.w3.org/International&#

Style is separate from content. ie. Screen readers/robots don't care about gradients etc.

Seems like this could be presented without as much clutter. Not really useful at a glance for a checklist. Also, some of the info isn't well researched and lacks citations for claims as others have mentioned. One would be better off ju

Then one is stuck with a device that may not be able to receive updates based on carrier. Google have product dedicated to their Fi Network, which is as close to the source as you can get. AKA no rooting for recent updates.

It's only recent that the Nexus line is unavailable through Google. Shame as the Nexus line (especially the 4) was affordable and effective for everyday tasks. I still use the 4 as a media controller and web browser.

I agree there should be a lower end model out. I really enjoy the Nexus line they had. The Nexus 4 was dirt cheap and still works great today. I have a 5x for Fi, but I would much rather use the Nexus 4 if it were capable of using the netwo

Everything that we think of as new technology is founded through ground breaking innovation. As citizens, our networks have been subsidized (through tax) for public access. If you're viewing this that innovation has affected you. Havin

Without the vision that came from parc none of us would be viewing this today. The vision they wanted was vast and it still has more to offer today. Disappointed many comments have disassociated this from where we are now. Thank you Alan. E
