It’s mostly the Cancel Culture effect. Musk’s recent actions and remarks have deeply, deeply offended the EV customer base: California residents and Liberals. Musk failed to consider that EV buyers now have a rapidly expanding range of highly competitive and advantaged EV sellers from which to choose besides Tesla.

My Subaru has CarPlay that I connect with a Motorola MA1 Wireless Android Auto Car Adapter. It’s always up to date. I don’t pay for a subscription. It works wonderfully well. And it’s much safer to use than the subscription service that I had in my Cadillac. So no need to consider GM anymore.

This is an article that features people that enjoy video gaming but think like responsible adults. They are rare, but they obviously do exist.

Or you can just get a Chromebook.

Wow, take a couple of Rolaids.

Seems like a logical progression to an incremental development that tab group users now need and expect.

I’ve never encountered a problem casting from devices to a Chromecast in a hotel room. Not claiming that you don’t have a legitimate alternative experience, but more likely it’s just an “operator issue.”

Very nice article. The remap advice for the Caps Lock key hit a raw nerve with me. Google’s choice to eliminate this key seems to be a bone-headed stroke of insanity. The options for restoring it by remapping are all very poor because they all cause you to lose something that you need as much or more than the Caps…

I’m a Chromebook user. So I installed both the Web version and the Android version of Google Meet. The Web version looks just fine. But the Android version won’t be usable because it opens and runs full screen only. That make it impossible to resize the app window or to drag the app window between the built-in display…

Mach 0.4.

If it weren’t for AoS and The Last Ship, both of which I watch mainly on Hulu, I’d have almost no need for for a TV. Both series have been written to feature suspenseful development against overwhelming odds and lots of unpredictable twists and turns in the plot. This keeps me looking forward to seeing every next…

I love this! It somewhat makes up for the Docs Web app not having the ability to transcribe handwriting into textual input like the mobile app. Fortunately the Keep Web app does transcribe handwritten input.

It’s Windows—what do you expect? Mostly, I now use a Chromebook.

Android hysteria has already too frequently overtaken reason. So thank you, Mr. Eric, for saying this: “You’ll notice I left out the “big apps” that everyone looks for from an app store like Facebook or YouTube. That’s because Chrome OS already does these things well in a browser tab. In fact, you probably won’t need…

Excellent question—it gets to a fundamental difference between Chrome OS and Windows, etc. Cloud Print servers manage communications with printers so that mountains of device drivers don’t have to install and load on every client device. In Windows, every file that makes the device work has to reside directly on your…

Actually, using a Chromebook isn’t that much different from using the Chrome browser on any other OS platform. The major reasons for buying a Chromebook on your next purchase are as follows: (1) Better speed, reliability, longevity; (2) seven seconds from power-on to login; (3) impervious to viruses/malware without…

Agreed, Web apps would be far more navigable. But, a lot of special interest has been poured in convincing people that clicking on a Web link is not as good as the expense of downloading, installing, and continuously updating apps for both Android and iOS platforms.

For Google Cloud Print setup to work, the printer just needs to be visible to a network. WiFi connection is most common. But you can often just use an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the router. Compatibility for scanning though, is still not widely available.

Although it’s feasible for short duration tasks, how often do you really see people, even Apple fans, typing on on a touchscreen, particularly doing serious work? You have to look at your fingers because there’s no tactile sensation. The error rate is much higher. The w.p.m. is much lower. Would you take an iPad to a…
