Turnitin was very annoying to use back in my college days (roughly around when this article was published). So many mislabels of content being plagiarized even when I'd properly quoted/cited anything I added. It would even label s

There's this one purely catering (Vietnamese) coffee "company" that has entirely pivoted to pop-ups the past few months, and using donations from customers to fund deliveries of coffees to hospitals and other front-line worke

There are still "dumb" Blu-ray players. Bought one for my parents a few years back. It does have an ethernet port, but they've never needed to connect it to the Internet, works fine. I guess if you're watching a movie th

In N Out in California has ones like this. You just squeeze this rubbery piece and it causes the sanitizer gel to come out, then you just use it on the entirety of your hands after. No big deal.

I wonder how many high-profile celebrities and other people with verified public accounts also keep private duplicate ones? Maybe that's going too far down the rabbit hole but I'm really curious now.

I think this assumes that only the obvious accounts were affected (basically any that sent out the tweet about the scam). It's quite possible many accounts were accessed more quietly.

$35 -> $65 in ~2 years? I originally got this because it was a great way to watch baseball games without being blacked out (at the time I was subbed to mlb.tv and forced to use an out-of-area VPN to get around the local blackout to watch

Whoa! This is awesome. Made me Google again (hadn't since my first trip to Japan) for any melodies I could find as a download to use as a ringtone/text tone (not that my phone is ever off vibrate mode). Thanks!

I've recently switched jobs. At my previous role, the 15 inch retina 2016 MBP I was using never had issues on Catalina. At this new role, the 2019 13inch retina MBP I was given seems to have one or two kernel panics a week on Catalina.

Whoa, this is potentially a pretty cool device. I don't have Parkinsons, but I do have Essential Tremor[0]. I'm only in my late 20's now but I've had it since at least my early teens, and it hasn't improved. In some

While I get your point, there are a myriad of things I don’t understand that get posted and commented on here. Usually if I don’t know something, then it’s a good chance to look it up and learn something new. I think it’d be counter-product

When you say that, it makes sense if perhaps police are just accidentally brushing by them while forcing their way up a street. What the reality is is they are literally forcing themselves onto cameramen, pushing them into walls or other ob

It's not that easy, though. Safety regulations are completely different now compared to 1957, using your Porsche example. Bumper and ride heights, crumple zones, etc. All these factors would make it very difficult to just recreate vint

Reminds me of a time at my previous job where I was asked to add a utm_source to API client calls for one specific type of client. Less for marketing, more for just the product management side.
