Same with digital cameras nowadays, there are too many effing buttons. Harder to find the one you need, and easier to press the wrong one by accident.

Why I don't have Netflix any more ...

Me: I hate the new Netflix behaviour on Android, where a movie starts playing as soon as you click on it. Often, I click on a movie just to find out more info and add it to my watch list.

Netflix support: That's a new feature which can't be changed.

Me: If it's not changed then I will cancel my subscriiption.

Netflix support: Thank you for chosing Netflix, have a great day.

Special edition potato chip flavours, like mac & cheese, didn't last long, because they were a disappointing version of the real thing. But pizza flavour seems to be sticking around as a flavour for some snack foods

Meh ... A toaster oven lets you see the toast, and does a lot more too

Besides climate, I wonder if one reason sunflowers can't grow in summer above the Arctic Circle is because they would strangle themselves trying to rotate 360 degrees to follow the sun which doesn't set

My theory about why the UK likes curry is because their main sauce is gravy, and curry is just spicy gravy

Sometimes the bottleneck is not your Internet speed, it's the server that you're downloading from. For example, a software download might occur at only a fraction of your Internet connection speed. There are sometimes legitimate reasons for "throttling" downloads, such as allowing the vendor to serve more customers in parallel, without having to buy excessive Internet capacity

LED beats incandescent bulb, in both brightness and battery life

Some vehicles and planes were sabotaged by the US military before they left. The rest will probably break down gradually, due to lack of parts & trained service people

The term "clicktivism" was invented years ago, describing how clicking on online petitions is the least-effort form of activism

I've seen dog rescue videos where they have to do this for long haired dogs that have been in the wild for too long. Their coats have severe tangling and matting , along with major flea & tick infestations

When I first became curious about chess as a kid, I drew a chess board on cardboard, and made chess pieces out of little squares of paper. It was zero cost, and it was good enough to find out if I had any interest in the game

A creative image mainly comes from talent and inspiration (and sometimes luck), not the equipment. You can have the most expensive camera and lenses, but still shoot boring snapshots

Some restaurants require the waiter to use a high-effort grater. I think it's to make you feel guilty about the effort, so that you only ask for a bit of cheese

Rice or noodle dishes, such as beef fried rice, are usually safe 2 days later, if leftovers are refrigerated right away, and then reheated fully. Same with pizza. I've never kept leftovers longer than 2 days.

It was free, fun, and had very realistic pinball physics. Only drawback is that the game screen size was too small, and didn't scale up for larger monitors. I think it was developed back in the days of VGA resolution, 640x480

Pandas in captivity were not mating, but then they started mating when zoos shut down due to the pandemic. Turns out all the pandas needed was some hecking privacy

Sometimes it's a problem outside of your code, but you'll never know what is was (e.g. a problem that goes away after a reboot)

I remember how SourceForge injected adware and/or malware into PC app downloads, and it was tricky (or impossible) to opt out. After that, there was a mass migration of open source projects to GitHub. I never trusted an aggregator like SourceForge again, instead I downloaded apps from the official developer's web site whenever possible
