    Part of the issue is this affects different countries differently, based on residential IP allocations to household ratios. I am currently on CGNAT in Australia split 256 ways, and…

    I feel this issue has started to slowly become worse and worse as we've been able to build better "preference profiles" based on small amounts of data. I notice it often when watch…

    I'm not very familiar with men's fashion so I might be wrong. My understanding is that a lot of the time, size is _not_ about how tall most tops are, it's about how much horizontal…

    I truly hope that some of this collection, such as annotated scripts/etc, eventually make their way into film or media museums. There’s so many interesting items in here otherwise

    This feels like what typically happens when new areas of medicine or treatments are discovered. Suddenly everyone wants to use it in unproven areas, and market it to desperate peop…

    I've found this especially a problem with those AI systems trying to add HDR to existing images/videos. The worst instance I've seen, was playing one of the recent Spongebob platfo…

    Honestly hearing how different this is for Americans makes me wonder if it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy type situation. Everyone in Australia is already using Meta services, so bus…

    Honestly while this does work for some people, it doesn’t seem to work for everyone. I’ve tried this basically my entire life (am 27), and it’s never improved. If anything it feels…

    To clarify, I was referring to it just respecting the OS's day/night cycle settings. I definitely agree a website shouldn't be trying to do anything fancy like that, I was just say…

    Hi, I'm the author of the article, thanks for your comment. I definitely agree I didn't mention as much around VR as I would've liked, mostly as it's an area that I've paid a lot l…

    IMO if a website supports both light & dark themes, it should _by default_ switch automatically. If the site wants to allow overriding that, that's fine, but I hate having to const…

    Something I always find is that when I write about something I'm interested in, I always end up being way more informed about the topic than if I hadn't written about it. There's s…

    I recently turned an old article into an eBook as a few people had asked me for an offline copy, and found the process of actually doing it fairly interesting and complicated. I co…

    I'm honestly really excited for this to be more widely adopted to the point it can be used without polyfills. While the API is a little verbose for my liking, it's extremely capabl…

    hMod was made and developed by hey0, who dropped the project after a while and a new group took over, mostly comprised of hMod plugin developers. That group gave up on hMod pretty …

    The SD card argument I don't really see as too valid, as the computer isn't specifically for photographers. That seems like a good reason to actually use an adapter, as outside of …

    This is rather surprising, especially with the 13 inch MBP having a touch bar. I wonder if these are going to be the "lower end", with the touch bar available as a paid upgrade? It…
