What bugs me is: why in the fuck are they asking for people’s gender? Other than medical questions (where you specify your birth gender), I think for the vast majority of cases the question should not be relevant.

And don’t forget the mother of all bad interfaces game: http://userinyerface.com
Unity, Google, Discord. All within a day or two of each other.
For every number of employees laid off, a VP level employee must be fired. Those employees didn’t hire themselves. Someone came up with the idea.
If companies don’t do this they’re not attacking the root of the problem.
I honestly never used it. Isn’t it the same as something like alt-f which will open the file menu?
Another useless key? Use Scroll lock or SysRq for that. Or even better, reuse that stupid “menu” key. They’ll cram one more key to the left of the spacebar and make ctrl, alt, and windows keys smaller. Or change their order.
The PCC must be feeling all smart about their spy balloon design choices. Just wait until they need to talk to Comcast customer support…
You can get nice mechanical keyboards these days. They’re not cheap though
Back in 2004 the company we worked at (we worked for another company who provided tech contract work for them) was bought and they were dismantling a particular site. I remember getting to the e-trash dumpster and finding boxes of almost new computers and HP keyboards. I had a truck so I grabbed them all. The computers, I donated. The keyboards I still have maybe 3 or 4, after having given others to friends and family.
Exactly. I truly hate Elon but I admit that Starlink works and is a good option for rural areas. But now, the irony here is that people in these areas are the first ones to point out when the government gives “hand outs” to others, and vote for the party that gives all the power to the big players, who then give the rural population the finger.
Hugo as a static page generator. GitHub pages for free hosting.
And the same enlightened kids who are so aware about discrimination and gender fluidity (which is good) are the ones discriminating against others because they don’t have an iPhone.
They’re great but the scissors will get dull very quickly and it’s almost impossible to sharpen them. Also, the newer models are not as good as the older ones.
Back when Google started, the idea was to only show discrete text ads on search. Then they started showing image ads and created AdSense which basically shows Google ads on external pages. The real killer was when Google bought doubleclick. Until then Google didn’t do ad tracking but with dclk (which has a tracking cookie) things went downhill fast. Ever wonder why Google ads domains are (or used to be) doubleclick.net? Because changing the domain would make Google lose all those yummy doubleclick tracking cookies.
Can’t wait to have an AI based ads remover that rewrites the page HTML and removes all ads.
It’s a bit more complicated than that, unfortunately.
What happens when Microsoft adds something to their web building tools that forces all visitors to websites using these tools to use IE? Or when your bank (or even worse, utilities) start requiring Windows and IE?
It’s a circus out there…
One of my financial institutions supports yubikeys, but does not have the option to turn off sms 2fa. A chain is as strong as the weakest link, as usual.
Another only has sms 2fa and bizarrely allows me to specify any phone number at login time to receive the code. WTF?
Most only have 2fa via sms. When you talk about using an authenticator app people bitch and moan because they have to cut and paste those digits into the login page. Oh, the humanity…
Don’t even get me started on sites with “roll your own” schemes, like forcing you to install their app (which requires all permissions under the sun) just to accept a push message and allow you to login on their website.
