I don't know if it's an Android thing or only a Samsung thing, but my phone displays colored dots over the buttons that led to some new functionality. The dots go away when I eventually push those buttons. If I follow the trail of

Ah yes, I remember those keyboards. Maybe in the 90s?

I never use my numpad. I use the numbers in the top row of the keyboard. I'd be super happy to yank my numpad out of my laptop, move the keyboard a little bit to the right and center align it with the center of the screen. My head woul

I can see a number of ways to work around that limitation, without even lobbying and bribing. And I'm not even a lawyer or an accountant. Eventually all the money and power will converge in a few sub 500, or sub 50, companies and nothi

I found this source about Belgium imports of uranium [1]. The partner "World" is about 50% of the total. These data are from 2023. Maybe something changed in 2024 because [2] "Belgian nuclear plants no longer run on uranium f

In my experience those users express a mix of surprise and irritation when they get ads about something they did minutes or hours before, but they accept that's the way things are. I joke that I'm a no-app person, because I instal

I've been running colinux for years until early 2009 when I reinstalled my laptop with Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows XP in a VM. So much faster.

A customer of mine uses Postman for its API docs. I never use it to run API calls. I curl to the server from the terminal. I keep a file with the most common sequences and I can add -d @request.json much more easily than from within Postman
