It’s the middle of May and the weather here is doing its damnedest to turn from winter to spring to summer, but it can’t seem to settle on which one it wants to be. Last week was super nice though, and it put me in a shorts frame of mind. That, in turn, reminded me …

Microsoft Edge Is Doing the Automatic Image Description Thing Now
The closest I’ve gotten to using Microsoft Edge is the rare occasion when Windows opens a webpage in it instead of my default Firefox. I hit just enough keystrokes to close it, then I go on about my business. This isn’t so much because I have a hate on for Microsoft (I did make the …

Just Pick One. You’re Getting Scammed Either Way
So apparently there is an app (probably more than one but this is the only one covered here) that is, either deliberately or by accident, tricking people into thinking that it is the Android version of Truth Social, the social network that Donald Trump put his name on now that he’s not allowed on any …

A Whole New Wordle
So…this Wordle thing…I talk way too much about it. After I discovered the ways to make it accessible, I excitedly told mom and dad about it. Of course, they already knew. So on days when the Wordle is super hard, I’ll get a text about it. I got talking about it to friends, and I …
Have You Heard The Wordle?
A little while ago, I heard about this new word game called “Wordle”. All I knew about it was that you got one five-letter word a day, and you got 6 guesses and you had to see if you got it right or something. Apparently everybody is playing it. I was intrigued but didn’t get …
ArriveCANT
Because I’m an optimist for thinking I would need this sooner than later, and a weirdo for liking to plan ahead, I decided to set up my profile on ArriveCAN. I tried once, but it assumed I was traveling right then, and wanted me to start filling out a big ol’ form. But later, I …
Blind People Don’t Play Games Or Support Charities, Apparently
Now and then I take a quick glance at the ads that appear on some of our pages. I figure it’s nice to have a sense of what’s being shilled on our behalf, plus if there’s anything scammy looking that people might need to be warned about I’ll be able to check into it. Google’s …

Aaa! It Went To Zero! Yow!
I know this is old news, but the video makes me giggle every time, so I’m putting it up. So there was this whole Squid Game crypto scam where the value just went ker splatto in a matter of seconds. It was everywhere, and they were talking about how to spot the scam, whatever. I …
If You’re Broke, Just Say So
In a broad sense a platform dictating to news outlets how to conduct business probably isn’t the best thing, but man oh man would I ever not shed a tear if Apple News decided to put the hammer down on the way that some of its members use the important story notifications. That hammer, in …
Changes In This Release Include You Just Hitting The Damn Button Already
I just downloaded six app updates for my phone. Do you know how many of them gave me a good idea of what I was getting? One, and even it was scant. I’ve been noticing a trend toward useless release notes in the last couple of years at least, and I really don’t care for …
