In this age of LLM chatbots, if you tell me that you're "writing copy" I'm going to automatically assume you are asking ChatGPT to write something for you to copy and paste. Copy was a dumb way to describe writing a passage in the first place and it hasn't been relevant for, what, 150 years or so, since we invented this newfangled device called the typewriter.

I don't know why, but 100% of the time that I have to type 51820, it comes out 51280 and my brain parses it as correct. This is the only number set that I seem to have this problem with.

We recently introduced our kid to #Minecraft, with all the challenging and scary stuff turned off, thinking that he would like to explore and build things in a sandbox with Mom or Dad helping and he'd get some early computer skills.

Does anyone know where I can get some belt-mounted retractable USB cables? The more embarassingly #TechDad super-hero for me to use around my wife and kid, the better. Our house has a conservation law: one charging cable, no more and no less, and it's never where you left it, and I'm ready to solve this problem once and for all. #TechWear #UtilityBelt

Last I checked, Saudi Arabia isn't exactly known for "supporting women." I find it hard to believe that The Saudi Arabian Oil Company is doing a lot to support women beyond superficial initiatives that look good in press releases.

Roblox announced recently that they were implementing facial age verification to stop minors from talking to others. We love inventing new problems to masquerade as our solution to current problems.

To anyone saying they’re happy since they already have a lifetime Plex pass, do you really think they won’t come for you too?
