One thing that came out of the HTPC “wars” of the 2000s and 2010s was that mobile/handheld UI were more suited for the 10-foot interface, versus full-blown computers like Windows MCE.

Atlantic Canada is sorely underrepresented on the city charts, even though many locations would have amazing viewing.

Thank you! I would love to know the process of the colour guy. Like how much of it is the same as a chef tasting a dish and realizing it needs x ingredient in the spot.

One of the subtext reasons is that women’s’ clothing lacks proper pockets for whatever sexist reason, so a pocket you wear on the outside can seem like a great idea.

My mistake, I meant the 2106/2107s that were sold in Canada. I am not sure if wagon variants were part of the lineup as well. I said full-size to mean the “largest” RWD sedan offering to contrast with the 2121, 2108 and variants that w

How much of the colour change is also dependent on the film printer and also film scanner/telecine? It just seems like there’s a lot of variability in each step to end up with an unintended colour, that will taken as the artist’s inten

You’re looking at a repair manual, which would be expected to describe operation and function in detail. These are available for all cars if you know who to ask. I recall looking through owner’s manual for a domestic VAZ 2101. It was standa

The Canadian export versions of the Lada full-size sedans had doors reinforced with beams for increased safety. So structurally, they were indeed built a little better. There were several other features like western carburetors and emission

Some subreddits are wild rides. Most of the time it’s fanboying with some screenshot of a new install that makes you question why you even bother. Then, you get technical gems like this. Addiction via intermittent-conditioning is very real

I just think about how things are when they are brand new versus their in-use appearance. Think about a MacBook that’s a couple of years old. Glossy letters on the keycaps, a couple of sneeze splatters on the screen, some cosmetic scratches

Prince Edward Island had a century-old plan that was finally executed in the 1990s to build a bridge to connect to mainland Canada (1). This is the same debate that happens each time there’s a fixed connection to an island until the damn th

I had a wasp problem last year where they were going into the attic of my home. I did what I could with spray cans, but it wasn’t enough. I ended up calling an exterminator who used delta dust, which the wasps carry into the nest. It was a

Sorry, not criticizing your comment. Totally agree that a lot of these are likely terrible narrations. I am curious in general when features like this get marketed.

I noticed that there is an OREO emoji in Teams. In a paid product. So gross. The post itself was from 2022, but it seems to have trickled down into my org fairly recently via long-term releases.

AABBY FineReader was very pirate-able since the early 2000s. The workflow would have been a bit clunky, but it was still very doable.
