I've always kind of assumed the primary purpose of these is building customer lists. Were they at any point actually important in seeking warranty reimbursement or repair? I suspect that at almost 40 I reached adulthood about the time

I'm looking at the "lifetime" app upgrades I paid for in 2016 that, technically, are still active but whose features are all deprecated, meanwhile there are are plenty of new features offered for a $10/mo subscription th

Is there a proposed mechanism by which non-ionizing radiation is said to be harmful? I am willing to believe it could be (I would guess at certain wavelengths more than others if so), but absent any statistical evidence of such an effect an

I'm a big fan of reinstalling all of the default Microsoft online services and resetting your user preferences every time they feel like updating your computer. If you want to feel real madness try reinstalling Win10 from even the late

Whatever it is that got SBF in this mess it's the same thing that prevented him getting out of it with a light sentence. I don't know if that means he deserves it exactly - it seems like a better system wouldn't put a person

You didn't think someone would notice if the Tor network has 1000 new nodes setup similarly? Or, I suppose, if you find enough heterogenous people and pay them to log their nodes, you're not going to get noticed?

That article pretty clearly says they were assassinations within China of people who no one disputes were actual CIA spies or handlers. So at bare minimum it wasn't extraterritorial, which I understand to be the key differentiation mad

Maybe I was skimming too fast, maybe someone can answer here: Historically oak or other galls were used as a source to produce vegetable acids (tannic or gallic acid). I gather from the gallic acid article that galls are easy to crush. Is t

My biggest annoyance with toasts is when they are undismissible and cover other UI elements. Instagram (in their menu system) is a particular offender.

Legally, no. Ethically, probably. Socially, yes. A group of employees who feel they are being exploited by an inequitable treatment of their their management would have a lot more options than take your pittance or leave.
