Nagware will always get a bad review from me if I paid money for it. I'm your customer, not your marketing team. The nags seem to always come at the worst time. Open an app to look…

I have a windows computer that tries to install HP Printer software automatically because it detects an HP printer on the WiFi. No physical access needed

Mario 64 was byte for byte decompiled to C. It was helped by using the Debug symbols accidentally(?) compiled into the final version of the game. Otherwise they reference rips of t…

yeah, i ignored them for years just to see how long they'd play their little game. I finally got sick of it, paid them for a month, downloaded everything, and then canceled/closed …

I think it’s a major feature gap that Gmail (paid or free) cannot create filters on headers. I also can’t do wildcard filters on “to” or “from”. For example, in my GApps I have it …

I miss being able to skip ads and previews without “this feature is disabled for this disk”.

This is definitely not true for general .us domains. I registered one a year or two ago. And assuming my normal default Whois privacy was being applied (I clicked through too fast.…

When my kids were young, we canceled our Disney Channel / etc cable subscription and showed them more PBS and similar. It was really annoying turning on a show for 30 minutes then …

I thought I had read it. :) I thought the three `* * *` at the bottom was indicating I was about to start reading suggestions for the next article. So definitely a "Woosh" moment f…

I tried to use a USB-C HDMI dongle I had. But I assumed it was because the switch 2 was looking for something that could deliver enough power and actively cool it, like the first p…

One time an interviewer asked me languages I knew. After I went through my experience with Java, C#, python, etc. he said, “I meant like… Spanish…”

Oh wow! Didn’t expect to see this piece of my childhood on the front page! I used to spend hours on telnet playing this game with my friend. What a fun blast to the past!

About 60 for me. I have to charge mine while working to get it to last a day :/

I wish I could better help my org see that. Luckily my boss agrees with me, but he's not in full control. Between the vendor lock-in, and the _almost but not quite api compatibilit…

Similarly, I would love if videos/blurays/streams/etc had a way to adjust volumes separate from each other. So many movies have such loud music and quiet dialog. So I'm constantly …
