    Etsy used to have strict limitations on what was allowed to be sold. I'm not sure how effective it was, but since that restriction has been removed, you're right, they'll list anyt…

    Not all screens are touchscreens. Manufacturers complied with those regs without touchscreens for years. My 2012 mitsubishi's reverse camera is displayed in the rear view mirror; t…

    Instructions on how to create and use a bookmark can help as far as the domain/getting to log in goes. I know nobody RTFMs but if they've got instructions they can follow for that,…

    The wilful ignorance and total apathy is appalling. I've had similar experiences in Australia. I emailed one of my docs' practices asking if they use Heidi AI (or anything similar)…

    A strike being inconvenient? Workers leveraging how crucial they are? The stoppage of work having massive impacts across the country? Huh, maybe the powers that be should listen to…

    I just hook up a (linux) laptop to my TV, personally. I have a mouse (and a bluetooth keyboard which I rarely use) to interface. I have no idea if that would in some way impact som…

    I am at a loss for words. This wasn't a sophisticated attack. I'd love to know who filevine uses for penetration testing (which they do, according to their website) because holy sh…

    Autism $peaks is an anti-Autistic eugenics organisation that only stopped publicly perpetuating vaccines-as-a-cause in 2017. That's just the tip of the iceberg as to problems with …

    I assume that the venn diagram of people using notepad and people using AI stuff would be two distinct circles. Same with paint. I don't use windows and I know nothing about how pe…

    This is such a travesty. Her resourcefulness is awesome. It really boils my blood that this happens. It boils my blood that disabled kids are just discarded. Comments like "well sh…

    There's a handful of companies in Melbourne who offer digitising. I've never used any of them, but if you want to avoid posting your stuff to a digitisation service (there's a coup…
