Hi, I'm the author. I made this itch-scratcher for myself and now I'm seeing if people want, or even understand it. I have 3 calendars (personal and 2 work ones) and I often find myself copying events between them. Copying holiday

Well.. the DuckDuckGo and Google implementations are a little different but on both sites the ads are designed to blend into the organic results. If we weren't talking about the icon we could talk about the background colour, font, tex

An official party social media account changing it's branding to masquarade as a fact checking service during a televised debate? The intent to mislead is clear.

If this is predicting electric bikes that can keep up with the current speed of the roads, I don't think it sounds meaningfully different from light motorcycles in terms of infrastructure. The vulnerability of the traveller sounds the

I have tried them but it wasn't simple to use multiple profiles at once, nor was it obvious which profile you were using. I felt as though Firefox was discouraging their use. Are you using them? Here is an article that talks through th

I tried to move from Chrome's profiles to Firefox's container tabs. I prefer Chrome's take on it where sessions are shared across all tabs in a window rather than across similarly styled tabs in the same window. .. I just wen

My backup is a RAID 1 NAS which I backup to two external drives once a year. One goes in the shed and the other to my Dad's house. Disappointingly amateurish... but cheap and more secure than any online backup.

The money does go back to the tax payers.. Its redistributed amongst the tax payers. Its pretty much the core concept. You thought that I thought they just sent the cheques back in the post? That would be bizarre indeed! "250M people c

It’s the redistribution that you’re missing. 300M * $20k does equal $6 trillion but it is returned to the tax payer who stumped up the $6 trillion. The 50M who aren’t contributing tax represent an actual cost of $1 trillion. The remaining $

Thanks for commenting - I think that's a great idea. The widget fits with my desire to let the publisher be independent of a marketplace.
