@johnmu.com not sure if my DMs are getting filtered, but if they are, can you please check them? It's about an issue with Search Console that has gone unresolved for months. Thank you.

For the past several weeks, I've observed this annoying behavior in Google chrome: a new tab page would freeze and prevent me from typing for several seconds. At first I thought it was the number of tabs that I have open (a couple of dozen), but closing them did not fix the problem.

If you are using the Capital One Shopping extension in Chrome, know that it is adding tons of lag and hangs to Gmail and probably other websites. Here are my findings: www.reddit.com/r/CapitalOne.... My hope is their engineering will notice and fix this shitty code.

I almost missed this because the email went to spam. Microsoft is killing SwiftKey accounts and Gmail/Google sign-in, and is forcing us to move to Microsoft sign-in to continue backing up and syncing SwiftKey data. Backups are now going to live in OneDrive. 😐 You have until May 31 2026 to migrate.

Websites that hijack the back button, like many news sites do, will now be classified as spam. Good! About time. This should get rid of the practice almost immediately, and certainly from most sites by the enforcement date of June 15, 2026. developers.google.com/search/blog/...

Google bumped the $19.99 AI Pro plan from 2TB to 5TB today. It's a free upgrade. Must be still rolling out though as 5TB is reflected in some places but not others. It's very timely as I'm a couple of videos away from hitting 2TB.

The @spigenworld.bsky.social Mag Fit+ selfie stick (model S581W) is my favorite new travel accessory this year so far. It's almost as tall as me at 66" (168cm) which is great for selfies or getting unusual photo angles without a drone. But that's not the best part about it. [1/3]

CEO of NVIDIA on Lex Friedman's podcast: "I think we've achieved AGI". I don't hear anybody else saying it yet, so is he talking about OpenClaw type intelligence or something he's seen that we haven't yet? It's quite a statement for a person of his status to claim.

Today, Google revealed more details about the changes to sideloading coming to Android. For apps from verified developers, nothing changes. But for apps from unverified ones, you will now have a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before continuing. Supposedly, this will reduce coercion and scams.

There is a company out there building AI chips that are so fast that they return AI responses faster than you can blink (and I mean that literally, like 10 times faster). Try asking chatjimmy.ai anything (keeping in mind that it's an old llama 3.1 8B model and a technical demo).
