    Maybe not compared to a free game like Fortnite, but 50 million copies is huge when it comes to video game sales. The 50 million number is from Xbox and PC only. GTA V is the top g…

    I have no affiliation with any of these companies. I use StatusCake for basic uptime monitoring for websites. I switched to them from Pingdom because they are cheaper. Only downsid…

    I don't think this is Amazon trying to trick anyone. Even though it's the same brand, it's two different sellers. The sellers make the listings, not Amazon. The reason one shows th…

    I'm in Colorado and I had to pay $66 up front. $50 is a deposit and $16 is the fee every two years. I see that California doesn't have a fee but I know other states do. TaxJar will…

    What no one is talking about here is how this would be handled, especially for a small online sellers. There are almost 10,000 tax jurisdictions ( https://www.washingtonpost.com/bl…

    I really want to like all of these services. I've used Grubhub, Uber Eats and DoorDash. My problem with them is that it costs way more than eating at the restaurant. It's usually 3…

    I had this happen to me recently when I hit 90% of my data cap from Comcast for the first time. At first I noticed that all traffic was being hijacked to show me a full page messag…

    I'm in Colorado Springs (2nd largest city in Colorado) and we passed this last year although it didn't get any coverage. Colorado is definitely moving in the right direction.

    I get where WordPress is coming from by not fixing this issue since it's an Apache thing. But since Apache's default value causes this to happen I think the framework should try to…

    You could do this a lot easier: if ( !isset( $from_email ) ) { $sitename = parse_url( strtolower( WP_HOME ) )['host']; if ( substr( $sitename, 0, 4 ) == 'www.' ) { $sitename = subs…

    The fact that it has to be a covered by news really sucks. I ran a website that got our AdSense account shut down for what Google claimed was invalid clicks. I never clicked on our…

    Thanks for this. I upgraded and was wondering why I couldn't Ctrl+C/V vs one that was a fresh install.

    EV certs don't look as cool as they used to. The green they use is to close to black. I know Edge got rid of the green bar as well but the green they use stands out.

    HN is a secure origin so it still works. Test it out on a non-https site.

    I use KeyCDN and they offer an "Origin Shield" so there is only one request to the file and the PoPs request the file from the shield server. Other CDNs probably offer that as well…

    Same. I'm @kel on github and twitter but that's taken on here and gitlab. I emailed to ask since it was just being squatted on but gitlab told me no.

    I'm in Colorado and it costs only $50 to file for an LLC online. Where is it costing you $250?

    In the video he said he was placed in a 4x4 cell for an hour before being taken to a judge. He said no one read his rights or allowed him to get representation.

    For T-Mobile, the phone is $27.09/month but you also have to pay $10/month for Jump. So that's $445.08/year for the latest base model iPhone. Jump also has a $150 deductible if it …

    It would be nice if there was a good solution that companies could implement because this isn't just a fault of PayPal, this is most utilities, TV providers, etc. You can call up a…
