Why does the youtube miniplayer suck so much?! X has the best one i've seen on any platform. You can actually pop the player out of the browser and move it anywhere you want and it has 0 chrome just a window with the video in it amazing!

Seems like Starlink has potential to completely disrupt undersea cables once the network is larger. Obviously it wont ever be the same latency or bandwidth as an undersea cable but it would be near impossible to tap and much cheaper.

dropbox did something useful. It made it easy to share files across platforms and the web. This is a feature that should be part of your calendar software to allow people to create calendar entries in your calendar and see availability.

Is it a big secret that m1 macs don’t work with external monitors?? The problem has been getting worse with each new forced update.

Using my monitor via HDMI and apples 100$ dongle it constantly turns off randomly and will not come back on without unplug and plug back in.

Everything else is great but after like 5 updates that claim to fix the issue but still having issues maybe apple should make some notification about the problem so people don’t buy this if they have serious work they need to get done.

Whats the point of a safety driver who's eyes are not on the road? Pretty easy to monitor if the safety driver is paying attention or looking down every second like this safety driver was.

If you want to acquire users from google search its absolutely required that you have fresh and frequently updated content with links from other reputable sources to even be considered to be displayed on a search result.

If you don't care about acquiring users from search as you have other means then yes a blog may be a complete waste of time.

If your site already has some crawl-able content and your already receiving some traffic from google, rather than create a blog your time is probably better spent doing the following:

creating more content pages to help google understand your site

creating a sitemap

decreasing the load time of your site

spend money on google ads

get high quality back links

I found https://mosh.org/ quite useful to get a working ssh session thru the GFW. The GFW can introduce latency and packet loss to encrypted connections which mosh seems to handle nicely.

i'm on a 2013 mac book pro retina and see no reason to upgrade to the latest model. If it died tomorrow i'd look for a refurbed 2015 model.

Mostly i blame intel for not releasing mobile chipsets capable of more than 16GB of ram but apple is also to blame for allowing this.

My next purchase will hopefully be a amd ryzen based laptop with 64GB of ram running linux in 2018 pls.

Here is the link to the new search console:

My sites aren't available yet but looking forward to trying it

really cool idea but it didn't work for me. It distorted the logo and made it look much worse. Would be great if you generated a unique url for each icon that is uploaded so i could share it with you.
