Yeah, I enjoy writing blog posts, but not on a routine schedule. My blog has some light traffic, but it has not been game changing as some other commenters have experienced. It can be an issue of topic/depth since I blog about a variet

Yup, sadly many of them (in greater Los Angeles area) tend to over "find" cavities so they can put money in their pocket. This is not ethical, but I've had different dentists do this and I simply left for another dentist.

While Apple is not considered an advertising company today, they have been growing services revenue for the past several years. Part of that is growth in ads (3rd party ads in app store, 1st party ads in the OS, iAd [discontinued], etc). Ev

I was interested in the 14+ for a family member, but the pricing is awful. I'd rather go up to the 14 Pro or look into the 13 series (same phone for less).

Yeah, this was fun to solve. Re: 2, it seems intentional when two occupy the same space, 1 of them gets priority and has to be moved first? Ideally, you could pick which 1 of the 2 you could move, but removing this choice makes the puzzle h

Migrating off your primary e-mail provider with over a decade of history is not trivial. I could do it if I devoted a a lot of painful time to it. For non-technical family & friends? Forget about it.

This is a good point. 2FA is a great thing and I think everyone should use it. With that said, I don't want 2FA on my alternate/testing/dev accounts. I simply don't want demo accounts linked to my phone number. I'd

E-mail as online identity is both convenient and a huge source of risk (if Google's automated system goes wrong). I wonder if Google could offer real customer support. I know offering support goes against everything Google stands for

Websites & apps treat your e-mail or phone number as your identity. Is it ideal? No, but it's reality. Until everyone can agree on a better system, your e-mail is your online identity across countless websites. This makes losing yo

Depending on the mall (Westfield Valley Fair), parking can be so bad for many years now that we avoid the mall completely. While the parking lot can be near capacity (mall is popular), we still avoid it (parking is too hard to find).

There are countless companies making USB/similar cables. They are a commodity and it's hard for them to stand out. So I use brand (Anker, amazon basics, Apple, etc) and store (amazon.com, best buy, target, etc) to narrow down the

I've had similar experiences where I got charged by amazon for Prime & wasn't sure what it was. They certainly make it hard to find your payment history for Prime renewal.

The groupthink mentality has gotten way out of hand. While you might think a subreddit is a place for fans of X topic to gather, it seems to end up as a place for superfans to gather. This can be a problem since their viewpoints are extreme

This. Hoping it's fixed on the latest version is wishful thinking. Apple tends to downplay and/or ignore issues. Sometimes they don't have to do anything and other times, they offer a repair program.

I don't see a problem with Sony (or MS/Nintendo/Apple/etc) paying game developers to keep their games exclusive to a platform. Game creators make decisions on where to put their games and how to monetize. Epic Games is

Yeah, moving to NYC doesn't have to be permanent. I moved there for a few years and enjoyed it. I couldn't see myself staying in NYC forever, so I'm glad I spent some time there and left.
