Google Analytics 4 is so unusable that there is now a black market for old Google Analytics 3 accounts from abandoned projects that can be repurposed.

Why haven't streaming services introduced microtransactions to unlock a full season of episodes early? I'd probably pay a few bucks for a few shows to get it done when I have time available and avoid spoilers.

Not only have they mapped out the fruit fly brain, but they actually boot it up in a computer and made it “eat” and “groom” 🤯
We are releasing a whole-brain connectome of the fruit fly, including ~130k annotated neurons and tens of millions of typed synapses! Explore the connectome: codex.flywire.ai/ Reconstruction paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Annotation paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/6

“We in Florida don’t believe in socialism but we have roads, police, firemen, military protection, routine federal disaster funding, and the majority of our population live off social security…but socialism?! No.”
I’m warning socialists and communists not to travel to Florida. They are not welcome in the Sunshine State.

Is there a toggle somewhere in the bowels of the Office settings to universally elect to not paste garbage looking grey off font stuff by default every time you CTRL+V? Why is this the default!?

You millennial leftists who never lived one day under nuclear threat can now reflect upon your woke sky. You made quite a non-binary fuss to save the world from intercontinental ballistic tweets.

Weird. After the temporary GrubHub+ for free promotion ended in December, I was just able to use my current (also free via Chase Reserve) Instacart membership to redeem 12 months of free GrubHub as if I was a paying member.
You might remember QR codes, but do you remember the CueCat? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat. I had one.

Home network management has been increasingly challenging as OSes default to MAC randomization. I can peg a device for a short while but it eventually becomes anonymous or mostly anonymous again. While I am hesitant to turn off any privacy enhancing feature this is bothersome.

I guess there are some features for setting this in Android but I don't have an explanation yet for why my Android TV appears to cycle its MAC.
