I've heard about the show on an episode of the podcast "Endless Thread", where the creator Joseph Bennett talked about how the show came to be and how his creative process worked. It was very intriguing and I started watching

My plan advertises "up to 50 Mbit/s" on a 4G connection. I was getting less than 1 Mbit/s a lot of the time. Websites and videos would not load properly. I downloaded the app of the german ministry that allows you to tak

IIRC those animations have been introduced with the current version, Office 2016. I think they make it really easy to follow, especially when someone else is editing and sharing their screen.

I'm in the same boat. Some weeks I simply do not have enough work to fill the 40 hours I should work according to my contract. I'm just sitting around, looking busy, and billing those hours to the project I'm assigned to. If

Vanilla Google Maps is not a lot slower on Firefox than on Chrome for me, but third party apps that build upon GMaps, like Garmin Connect (Running / Biking tracking tool for Garmin GPS watches) are definitely much slower and less respo

Yes, I noticed that, when I was visiting Crete a week ago. Back home in Germany a text message costs me 0.14€, during vacation I was paying 0.09€. Regulations create funny pricing structures sometimes. :)
