Whenever I've seen an explanation of UX (to differentiate it from UI), one classic example was Tesla's supercharger network. We all remember Steve Balmer's comments about the iPhone when it was launched. That, without a…

NAFTA bad. USMCA good.
I have a couple of thoughts about this. Firstly, I thought sans-serif typefaces were encouraged for digital media because they read better than serif fonts. But now that high pixel density displays have permeated the…
I don't even care that much if they want to handle the 2FA with their proprietary methods. There are Android APIs that broker the OTP SMS delivery to the app without the app needing full access to the phone's messages.…
All the banks I have an account with here in India require SMS permission to use their apps, along with . The last straw was HDFC with their latest app revamp. I've resorted to using the online web app.
It would be cool if the Macbook can figure out the relative position of a newly connected external monitor. It would help in setting up the monitor with little manual adjustments. Since covid, we no longer have assigned…
I'm thinking of closing my ICICI bank account because the app requires granting SMS permissions.
I remember hotmail before gmail. Attachments had a 2 MB limit. I couldn't even share HQ photos using hotmail. And the whole inbox had a 25 MB capacity. I do believe there were paid alternatives with more storage. Gmail…
I didn't say it was. Browsers display an alert when full-screen mode is activated. Full-screen mode isn't a security feature, but the browser does something the website developer can't control so that users can conclude…
Sounds like a security flaw that browsers honor this.
Parties should be able to place age restrictions on the candidates. That can't stop an elderly candidate from running third party to spite the eligibility rules, but that's already the case.
How about the login service send the code encrypted in the SMS such that it can only be decrypted on the phone of the actual user? Still vulnerable to phishing attempts, but better than relying on deficiencies of SMS…
When exporting an Excel doc, for example to CSV, the app makes the new file (CSV) the active document. This has serious consequences if I continue to make changes in the new doc when I think I'm still in the native doc…
If I recall, the automatic download didn't work. I had to click the manual download link. The pop-up said Edge was based on Chrome with the added trust of MS. I really wish I could get others to use Firefox, but they're…
The other day I tried to install Chrome on a new laptop. (Insert joke about what Edge is good for.) However, Edge wasn't letting me actually download the Chrome installer. When I clicked the download button on the…
I think most people were just used to the old UI and resistant to change, so they complained about it. Yet, if you asked someone completely new to computing which UI they'd prefer, they would choose the ribbon. If…
Perhaps if people were more literate in programming, they could demand more from software vendors. Think spotting BS/over-promising by vendors. I think too many managers/execs sign off on software that's of such low…
Probably not the right forum for this, but does anyone know if it's possible to mail merge into separate Word docs, one for each recipient in the data source? I can only ever get a single document with all the outputs…
Ah, the Stack Overflow gambit.
Android hasn't needed any printer plugin to be manually installed for a while now. Since Oreo I believe. I've printed from my phone to my pi CUPS server. Even Windows 10 understands IPP.
Looks like the desktop site, but somehow being responsive to the mobile screen. Try m.reddit.com
And conversation view. Hiding the quoted email being responded to. Email before always looked like how Twitter threads do today.
I've long thought that U2F should be incorporated into phones, since everyone has one of those. Even not well off people in third world countries. In order for U2F to proliferate, everyone should have access to it. A…
