I just rented a car a couple of days ago. The car I got is a Toyota BZ4X. As I drove from the airport with a couple of friends, the car started beeping at times. It was complaining whenever I exceeded the speed limit by 3 km/h or if I held the steering wheel in such a way that it could not see […]

I love gadgets, but right now I am quite happy I did not get a fridge with a screen on it.
Are you now going to rush out and buy a Samsung fridge that will show you ads? Pay more for it even? Or are you going to select a different fridge?

I am not a fan of Microsoft Recall. I have not found many that are. Now, Microsoft has introduced another angle to using Recall and seemingly enabled it by default. Are you going to use it?

Microsoft is killing Windows 10 and for many countries and users, updates will stop today. It is time to look for options.
@brucelawson, has a suggestion for you. IMHO there are many Linux distributions to choose between and you will need to choose the one that works best for you.

New @Vivaldi update out now on Android and iOS. The iOS version has some really nice, new features, such as reader mode and custom search engines. Those were in high demand, so happy they are there.

I asked Windows 10 users what they were planning to do as Windows 10 stops getting free updates. The answers may surprise you.
Only 9% plan to move to Windows 11. 1% plan to pay for updates. 22% want to keep using Windows 10, even without security updates […]

As some of you know, I have moved over to Linux. I have tried different distributions, but using Ubuntu at this time. I have found one issue. When I click links in other apps and they open in Vivaldi, there is a notification that the page is ready, instead of just taking me to the page. Seems to […]

Big @Vivaldi release. Even more customization and a nice, new, shiny tab button to find all your tabs, even on other synced devices.
If you are one of those that likes to have things exactly your way, this release is for you!

I have finally moved over to Linux as my primary platform. In many ways it is like coming home, as I loved working on UNIX machines in the past. Of course, I have been using Linux as a secondary OS for a long time, but I finally made the switch. Microsoft cancelling Windows 10 and the direction […]

I think this survey from GBH says a lot, even though it is on the Fediverse. Overall the impact of AI that is the most visible to us is negative. It is not even close.

Well, that is good news. Next up is stopping selling "personalized" ads. Context sensitive ads is the way forward, IMHO. They worked just fine and they were a lot less intrusive.
