I bet if you were a power-user of it, you could back in day tell what new features Photoshop 5 had over Photoshop 4.
Try finding anyone who knows what new features are in Chrome 144 over Chrome 143.

Weiterleitungen sind okay. Weiterleitungs-Ketten sind böse. ⛓️
Oft leitet Seite A auf B, B auf C und C dann endlich auf das Ziel.
Jeder Sprung kostet Zeit und Lade-Geschwindigkeit. Für den Nutzer fühlt sich die Seite langsam an, für Google ist es Budget-Verschwendung.
Mit der kostenlosen Erweiterung "Ayima Redirect Path" (für Chrome/Firefox) sieht man sofort, wenn man auf einer URL landet: Gab es Sprünge?

Because I constantly hear myths about the good old compact cassette here's a longer post dispelling them:
1. They can sound as good as CDs
2. They don't wear out
3. You can't use a pencil to wind them
4. You can go to specific tracks automatically
5. You don't need to carry around extra batteries
I will elaborate below:
1. Sound Quality
Many higher-end decks can record cassettes on metal tape with various Dolby noise reduction settings; especially the combination of metal tape and Dolby S will make tapes that are pretty much indistinguishable from listening to a CD.
Even normal or chrome tape with Dolby B (around since the 1970s) will give great results; likely indistinguishable from a CD when played in a car or while out and about with a personal player.
Some extremely high-end tape decks produce better than CD results in some regards (for example some Nakamichi models go to 26KHz with frequency response, while CD are inherently limited to top out at 22KHz).
It's true that the dynamic range of CDs is much better than either vinyl records or tapes. However, unless you're super into classical music there's likely not much music for which this truly matters, as 99% is mastered to use much less dynamic range than provided by any audio media format. (If you're super into classical music you probably want SACD or other high-res lossless sources anyway, not CDs.)
2. Yes, it will wear out mechanically but you will wear out mechanically before it does. Please watch VWestlife's video: youtube.com/watch?v=_dgJ4hRHBiw
3. European and American pencils are too thin to engage the cassette reel cogs. (You'd need to get a Japanese pencil. People mostly used BIC pens for this purpose which have the right thickness.)
4. Most (nice) decks and personal players from the early-to-mid nineties onwards have track skip features (e.g. Sony has AMS, Automatic Music Sensor), which allow precise winding to a specific track.
Some decks even did this in the early 80s!
5. My late-90s Walkman has seventy-eight (78) hours of playback on one (1) single AA battery.
Anyway, the main reason why I like them is they're fun to use and recording them is very deliberate instead of algorithms selecting music for me. :)

Every aspect of this is a product failure. Best Buy bears the brunt of the blame, particularly for the ridiculous set of login choices. But Chrome failed, 1Password failed, Windows Hello failed. They all failed at being a humane, usable product.

Well, the site I complained earlier about blocking me using ad blockers then allowed me to see their site is doing it again. I checked and I actually whitelisted them so it isn't ad blocking. They are running scripts that detect ad blockers. Did I use Chrome? NO, I prefer Vivaldi.
I have zero problems seeing ads. You can show multiple ads without a problem. I have a problem with their invasive scripts grabbing all the data about me and my device.
They block me and it doe…
