Absolutely. Even though I find the Costco in-store experience stressful and the online experience lacklustre, I put them at the top of my list for all of my non-fashion shopping (unless I'm looking for dad clothes). I can always trust

I've been a reddit user for over a decade and for the last few years mainly use it with the Apollo reddit client on iOS, or the rare times I log in to old.reddit. I recently searched for discussion on a topic and ended up at the "

Very true. I wasted nearly two years of my life at a toxic agency that prided itself on its culture and how the company was a family. I'd dread Sunday evening. The morning drive to the office was always filled with a sense of impending

I also switched to Fastmail and love it. Is their iOS app really native? It's my only real gripe with the service - I find it has a web/hybrid app feel to it. The components don't feel native, and I find their table row swi

The recent 180 with Google Photos was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I've seen them abandon products in the past, and have always been wary about their use of my data, albeit never enough to make the effort to use a

I find Clubhouse interesting in that its the first social media app I've tried that I really could not understand the widespread appeal, even if it didn't appeal to me personally. The rooms I did listen in on seemed to be full of

There is just as much questionable media on YouTube. The difference is TikTok's algorithm works a lot harder to show you more of the content it thinks you will spend more time viewing, even if you are not actively searching for it. So

Apple gets more focus because they are the richest and most dominant company in the world. They are one of the few who actually could make a difference if they wanted to. They also deserve more scrutiny because they spare no opportunity to

A year ago I would have agreed, but I am now more optimistic. They recently launched a huge update for Canada that has made it competitive with Google Maps, and their "Look Around" is a lot more impressive than Street View in my e

For work related stress, one thing that I always fall back on when the pressure starts mounting is to to take a deep breath, exhale, and ask myself: "Is [current problem that seems like the end of the world] going to matter in 100 year

It could be personal preference, but I've found that since iOS7 or so it's actually become worse. Since then, I've found autocorrect and other text input related actions like selection and moving the I-cursor around became m

This is why I ultimately switched over to FL Studio. I don't make money off of music, and with work and family rarely have the time to spend on it. Live's high upgrade costs seemed wasted on me. With FL Studio, it's a single

In most cases I'd agree. Many games I absolutely adored years ago really have not aged gracefully. I find classic RPGs especially a huge grind now. Some game have proven timeless though. I'm currently hooked on Super Mario Bros. 3

To be more specific, I think it says a lot about the general attitude of people that have grown up under the CCP, and the 'take what you can get or starve' environment they've fostered. It's seen in other ways like lack
