Ugh. Casting/AirPlay is the only way I'd suggest using streaming apps with TVs you don't own (hotels, etc). Asking people to log in on random untrusted hardware is a bad pattern.

Netflix has removed the ability to cast shows and movies from phones to TVs,
unless subscribers are using older casting devices.
An updated help page on Netflix’s website, first reported by Android Authority, says that
the streaming service “no longer supports casting shows from a mobile device to most TVs and TV-streaming devices,”
and instead directs users to navigate Netflix using the remote that came with their TV hardware.
The change seems to have rolled ou…

#AI / #LLM propaganda is so insidiously effective even for laypeople.
I’ve had multiple conversations with family members who: don’t speak English, don’t own computers (only mobile phones), and barely spend time online.
I told them that I am no longer working with most tech company clients because I don’t like AI and don’t want to support it (“AI” here = gen AI, LLMs).
And yet these people all reacted the same way: concern, shock, and comments like “but this is inevitable”, “this is the future”, “you’ll have to accept it eventually”, “won’t refusing it ruin your career prospects?”
These are people who know nothing about technology. They usually wouldn’t even know what “AI” meant. And yet here they are, utterly convinced of AI company talking points.

Easy access to tab management, no weirdly hidden buttons or menus you need to tap multiple times to see fully. As a bonus, it has built-in filter support as well as several great Firefox and Chrome plug-ins. And Kagi’s search is optional. In fact you have more search options than in Safari.

IMHO, paragraphs are specifically meant to intuitively communicate which sentences belong together because of content/meaning. Just separating any sentences is what full stops do. If actually no two consecutive sentences belong together, the article is just incoh…

An actual article on the BBC website. The headline has been replaced with “Lorem ipsum”, and all numbers and Latin characters have been censored, so that only punctuation remains. Now, it is clearly visible that every single paragraph contains only one full stop (i.e. at each end).
