The entire site is an exercise in delusion and marketing bullshit. I am absolutely convinced that the people selling this abomination of a product have either never used it themselves or are abjectly and wilfully misleading people. Some oth

YouTube recommendations make me incredibly sad, to the point where I start to lose hope for humanity. I know that's a strange thing to say but bear with me. My web browser blocks all cookies and therefore no matter how often I visit Yo

Are you implying that allowing companies the choice to go sideload-only is a bad thing?

NordVPN, eh? I'll never forget there was a reddit thread on /r/vpn where a NordVPN customer complained about a billing issue or something. NordVPN's official response was to get defensive; they proceeded to actually publ

It's still trendy to hate on Electron? Give it up. The ship has sailed. I like native apps as much as anyone else but you've got to realise the absolute clusterfuck that is cross-platform development. Plus building rich GUIs is ac

Are there any software solutions for upscaling content on-the-fly as you watch it in a media player like VLC or MPC-HC? Most televisions nowadays have built-in upscaling so you'd think something would exist for the desktop PC market.

Sorry but this is basically worthless until there's a MUCH easier and more visible way to add websites to your home screen. In a perfect world you could submit your PWA-based site to the App Store where it would appear alongside native

Software bloat really is an epidemic. As a web developer of 20+ years it's a source of constant frustration and sadness for me. Seriously, your app does not need to be an app; it should be a website. And seriously, your six-page websit

One question I wish app developers would ask themselves is "does my app actually need to be an app"? I'd guess something like 90% of apps could actually be websites instead, in which case you automatically avoid the framework

Thanks. Is there a name for this kind of sauce? Searching just brings up a bunch of "pasta with mushrooms" dishes, or cream-based mushroom sauces without tomato.

Usually with liquid damage it's possible to clean and dry the component thoroughly using isopropyl alcohol and it can work again. Did you give that a try?

Avocado oil is about 15x as expensive as vegetable oil. Other oils (including animal fats) have too strong a taste to be used in applications where a neutral oil is required (e.g. salad dressings, emulsions).
