I've used DDG for years (thousands of searches) and when I switch back to Google thinking I might be missing something... I'm always let down. Seriously, the results are pathetical…

Did they fix spell check? Because it still doesn't work and all the solutions are basically "wipe and start over".

Only knot I know and I use it frequently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowline Knots are incredibly situational which makes learning a lot of them (through practice) difficult.

I guess my argument is that it's not innovative or "hard" to sell ads to people who have given you massive amounts of personal and demographic information (voluntarily!)

I'm frankly amazed at the speed at which the Ford and Chevy native UIs will take over from CarPlay for functions like reverse camera, lane camera etc. You'd expect some delay/lag b…
