    NAFTA bad. USMCA good.

    I have a couple of thoughts about this. Firstly, I thought sans-serif typefaces were encouraged for digital media because they read better than serif fonts. But now that high pixel…

    I don't even care that much if they want to handle the 2FA with their proprietary methods. There are Android APIs that broker the OTP SMS delivery to the app without the app needin…

    All the banks I have an account with here in India require SMS permission to use their apps, along with . The last straw was HDFC with their latest app revamp. I've resorted to usi…

    If I recall, Watson was fed the whole text of the answer as soon as the other contestants could see it. Personally, I thought it would be fairer to have it do speech-to-text and/or…

    It would be cool if the Macbook can figure out the relative position of a newly connected external monitor. It would help in setting up the monitor with little manual adjustments. …

    I'm thinking of closing my ICICI bank account because the app requires granting SMS permissions.

    I remember hotmail before gmail. Attachments had a 2 MB limit. I couldn't even share HQ photos using hotmail. And the whole inbox had a 25 MB capacity. I do believe there were paid…

    I said that this implicit use of 10 or some other number shouldn't be allowed. So log, ln, lg (i.e base 2) shouldn't be allowed, but log_b(x) where b and x are states is OK, just a…

    I would say that any function that implicitly favors a single number must be explicitly stated, and thus, if used for this game, be the number 2. So all uses of the radical must st…

    I didn't say it was. Browsers display an alert when full-screen mode is activated. Full-screen mode isn't a security feature, but the browser does something the website developer c…

    Sounds like a security flaw that browsers honor this.

    Parties should be able to place age restrictions on the candidates. That can't stop an elderly candidate from running third party to spite the eligibility rules, but that's already…

    How about the login service send the code encrypted in the SMS such that it can only be decrypted on the phone of the actual user? Still vulnerable to phishing attempts, but better…

    When exporting an Excel doc, for example to CSV, the app makes the new file (CSV) the active document. This has serious consequences if I continue to make changes in the new doc wh…

    If I recall, the automatic download didn't work. I had to click the manual download link. The pop-up said Edge was based on Chrome with the added trust of MS. I really wish I could…

    The other day I tried to install Chrome on a new laptop. (Insert joke about what Edge is good for.) However, Edge wasn't letting me actually download the Chrome installer. When I c…

    Can they just not turn the active document into the file I just exported the workbook as?

    I think most people were just used to the old UI and resistant to change, so they complained about it. Yet, if you asked someone completely new to computing which UI they'd prefer,…

    Perhaps if people were more literate in programming, they could demand more from software vendors. Think spotting BS/over-promising by vendors. I think too many managers/execs sign…
