They rebranded the app designed exclusively for that (Meta View) and added the chat features.

The new Outlook desktop client is awful, but there's one silver lining and it's the retirement of the even more awful Word HTML renderer.

It gets worse though, the app actually split into "Google Pay" and the new "GPay", where the latter was originally an India-only app they reworked for the rest of the world. In old…

A few things I noticed, as I'm seeing the variety of SKUs becoming more complex. - Note that memory bandwidth is down. M2 Pro had 200GB/s, M3 Pro only has 150GB/s. M3 Max only has …

I remember when Instagram started asking for your date of birth in order to use it, which prompted me to take a nice break from it. The next time I checked in, they made it so that…

The hot button issues with people having to use Reddit's official app also include the trackers it uses. I'd certainly suggest getting rid of Google Analytics here and replacing it…

I found that it's only useful to browse sites that don't have dark mode (built-in conversion without any extensions) since they actually put some effort into making it work.

For anyone using Samsung Internet, be aware that if you try to go over 99 tabs, it will close your oldest tab.

I'm saddened by the sudden and intermittent disappearance of ReviewMeta, which prided itself as not inserting affiliate links into their site/extension. Reading this news leads me …

Instability aside, Windows 98 marked the point where Internet Explorer leeched itself into the operating system to the point of no return (only to be finally reversed in the past y…

I know that a few pieces of software distributed on floppy showed a warning if it detected it was previously installed (which wrote to some file on the disk, given it wasn't write …

Here's a Gen 2x2 SSD [1] but I can't seem to find a reliable listing for a cable, the general consensus is just to use what comes in the box. At this point I'd only buy cables that…

The person in the video mentions it's not connected to Xbox Live. Here's an example I found that has 2 ads in the "Xbox Live" tab as well: https://i.imgur.com/B983dJf.jpg

Have to point a couple things out I found. The USB versioning table needs some corrections: - USB 3.1 Gen 2 is the same as USB 3.2 Gen 2 and is only found at 10Gbps. - The 40Gbps e…

This remains a hotly contested topic. Not the overall interface, because that seems to be well-liked. Rather, "Was the blades UI fast?" Some say yes. Others complain about the guid…

My favorite part of Maxthon was the rendering engine switching, where you got to change between Gecko and Trident, and it looks like even Webkit was supported at one point. This wa…

I've tried this before, and you're right about it not being easy to follow, at least compared to previous incarnations. The above documentation is for a much older version, and the…

Google used to let you block domains a long time ago. I'm not sure why that was removed, but I have a feeling it had something to do with giving the expectation that you can block …

While on one hand I definitely stand corrected and not really floored that they decided to go against this, I don't know how marketing wouldn't have the foresight to see that a nev…

That wasn't an official statement from Microsoft.

I've done something similar once to find Dell iDRAC [0] and Exchange Outlook Web App [1] instances open to the internet. Just goes to show how forgetting a simple robots.txt (if it…

I'd go a step further and recommend https://grapheneos.org/ with a Pixel phone.

Bots are officially sanctioned as such and have an application ID in the developer console as well as a label in the client. Alternatively, nothing's stopping someone from taking a…

https://www.compuserve.com is the same thing. Oath/Verizon is keeping these sites on some kind of life support to this day.

Surprisingly enough this gives it more credibility in my book. I refused to use it for a while until a revenue stream was introduced (Nitro) and still gave me an unsettling feeling…
