By that logic we should require DNA testing because, you never know, someone might go to a polling place and lie about their name and have a fake ID too. You never can be too careful! Also, maybe someone inside will…
The office icons are rather subtle but do sorta illustrate what they do if you look carefully - the word icon is a list, the excel icon is a spreadsheet, and the powerpoint icon is a pie chart. That you have to look…
The current icons really aren't that good. Looking at apple specifically: The facetime and messages icons are almost completely indistinguishable. Get angry and say I'm blind, but so is a lot of the userbase - like…
I agree with your conclusion that the sweet spot is in the middle, because I could easily explain to my mom "click the icon that has a pen and paper" and it would be very obvious. The current icon is completely…
Microsoft has never been an end-user-focused company. Almost every successful product they've ever made was to sell to a business for their employees to use. Everything else they seem to either half ass or screw up or…

What's messed up about red light cameras is they can actually be useful - if used correctly! The correct use case is "We seem to have a problem with red light runners at this intersection, so let's find out why by…
Those things should just be illegal. I can't even imagine how much energy and plastic/paper/food goes to waste in those damn things.
"If she can only cook as well as Honeywell can compute." Oh my goodness it's a satirical ad. I don't know the proper marketing term for it, but I've seen these in magazines before plenty of times. It's pretty funny that…

That problem plagues every OS. Fortunately, my 14 year old canon networked printer/scanner/fax works in fedora 42 without any configuration at all. As long as it sees it on the network. Scans too! I was surprised about…

GM just making some fucking cars people want to buy. Nobody wants to look like a fat grandma driving a Tahoe or a racist uncle driving a Silverado lol. I mean I wouldn't mind a corvette if they didn't cost 80 fucking…

I have never worked at google, but when I was in college 10+ years ago the allure was that they were making all kinds of cool new stuff, and they had enough money to not just pay you well, but they (could afford to)…
AFAIK lots of new remasters of classic albums are auto-tuning the vocals as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/1bfxj2d/w...
What if the picture does have historical significance but you don't know it yet?
I'm with you here! I take lots of pictures. I picked up that stupid habit when I was a teenager with my family's digital camera. Eventually got a small canon for christmas and kept it in my pocket until I had a…
Just over 10 years in space stuff, I have noticed exactly the same thing.
I had a college professor who used "basically" and "essentially" so much that it was awfully distracting.
The old shitty clay lines are what you find in most rentals in SoCal. Then one day none of your toilets flushes and the landlord says you flush too many wipes down the toilet. You argue and they make you pay for a…
