How can you know when it's really "The Year of the Linux Desktop"? Whenever you don't need a "how to make it not suck" blog post to get it to run for normal users.

“Google Pay will never sell your data to third parties or share your transaction history with the rest of Google for targeting ads,” the company said. From what I can tell, nothing in this statement actually precludes targeting ads based o

A clever move. Apple essentially knee-capped the Epic claim that they’re in the same boat as small developers by putting a high cap on post-commission earnings ($1m sounds like a lot).

My husband and I took a road trip of 4,682 miles in a Tesla, with a dog. We stopped every 3 hours and charged for 30 minutes. It was not only possible, but easy, because those stops corresponded to lunch, coffee, dinner, and sleeping. The d

Well, luckily when you ban the sale of new things, it doesn't instantly take off the planet every used version of that thing. The average age of cars on the road is 11 years, meaning we have at least a quarter century from now to g

There’s a distinction between one-to-one messaging and one-to-many messaging that needs to be considered. But in general, Google doesn’t control the email protocol so I don’t see a problem with them refusing to send an email they deem objec
