Most of the meetups I'm in have been going on for several years, at least. My backpacking group is on meetup. I joined in 2016. Not sure when it was started, but it was a few years before that. Admittedly, the group…
This article did not live up to the promise of its headline. I stopped reading part way through the meandering generalizations (with no references or citations) before I got to the main thesis.
How? The only method I'm aware of is using the browser's developer tools to spoof being a mobile device.
> SMS short codes don't work on VOIP phones My experience is mostly with Google Voice, but I've not found that to be true. Years ago that was the case, but these days, I've encountered by few that don't work.
> And fix the moderator system so "first to register controls the sub" is no longer the case Why do you consider that a problem? As a heavy user of reddit, I don't consider that a problem at all. I would be interested…
Worth noting that this page is satire and poking fun at many of the issues that you note here.
All I know is that in the midwest, before Uber, there was maybe 1 taxi company near-ish (usually from a newarby town). You couldn't just call a ride- You'd have to look up the taxi company's number, schedule days in…
I don't know anyone who, when talking about heating, says "gas" and means "propane". "gas" is usually shorthand for "natural gas", usually from the grid. If they were talking about propane, they'd say that. But yeah- in…
At least in talking to friends in the US, we generally say "gas", "electric coil", "Electric flat top", and "Induction" if it was important to draw a distinction. I haven't encountered anyone who said "Electric" and…
Unfortunately, any citizen's initiative that is placed on the ballot in Ohio is an amendment to the constitution. This has an upside in that the legislature can't really override the direct will of the citizenry, but it…
I'd use "vehicle" to be more general than "car". If I just bought one, I'd know whether I bought car, truck, SUV(ehicle), etc. Although, in some cases, you might say "car" generically if the distinction doesn't matter.…
You should look at some of their dev blogs. Their engineering team has done some pretty remarkable things, like re-writing the game server to be deterministic so they could better deal with problems that occur in pro…
IME using teams about a year ago- I hated threads. The "reply" section took up a massive amount of space on the screen for each message and replying to a message took it out of the chronology of the channel/team. It's…
Mine still makes a satisfying click if you're using the mechanical shutter. The electronic shutter just sounds weird, though.
It can be very important. For example, Fujifilm released a firmware update for the X-T3 (2018) that provided some huge gains in autofocus performance, bringing the autofocus in line with the newly released X-T4. There…
You'll find radiators in many older buildings (before about 1930 or so, at least in my area). Some are steam and some are hot water. The problem with them is that they tend to have higher maintenance costs plus if you…
I seem to remember that some providers had some sort of SMS/MMS<->Email setup such that you could email a [phone number]@[provider.com] address and the recipient would get an SMS and be able to reply. Maybe something…
I've moved twice with all of my furniture and it's still going strong. The only thing that worries me for my next move would be the board on the back of my bookshelf, since it's only held in with very tiny nails.
Other than getting transactions automatically imported, which at least for me is the difference between using it and not using it.

> I hope the founders made out like bandits when they sold out, and I hope it launched them onto spectacular career trajectories. Well uh... The company went under, so I doubt they made out like bandits. The IP was sold…
I've been using it for a few weeks already. tldr: It's slightly worse than Google photos in most respects and quite a bit worse for albums. * The AI is fine, although not as good as Google's. * Albums are far less…

I was working in a College's IT Dept when they were migrating everyone from Eudora. Lots of the professors were of the "You can pry it from my cold, dead hands" opinion. They often had 10s of gigabytes of email dating…
Everything I've heard in the past several years has been wildly positive. Granted, the sort of people talking on HN and Reddit about C# are maybe not also the people maintaining legacy VB6/WinForms/WebForms/etc apps.
