Riding in the back of a Tesla this screen reminds me of getting killed by poison gas in an old video game.

Finally letting this expire... I think it was another 2am "bright idea" I had while at a Pubcon over 10 years ago.

I had to remove a bunch of bad urls from Google again, and instead of using the (now monthly $) Chrome Bulk URL removal add-on, I used @claudeai to build my own. Works very well, and took a whole 5 minutes.

Today I learned that in dev mode, (F12) you can right click the address bar reload button and empty cache / hard reload. Today. I wonder how much time that could have saved over the years?

Nice! Right click on any of 80+ open browser tabs, and I can see the full title of every open tab, with search at the top. Thank you @developer.chrome.com

An agency I consult for had a client leave in Jan 2026. New #SEO agency had him 1. change his @googleanalytics.bsky.social code to a brand new account. 2. Changed his verified Google Biz profile to an SAB with a hidden address, and 3. Deleted all his blog posts. Semrush shows a slight decline....

Wow, must be tough times at @google @YouTube - I mean, I did like occasionally playing videos in the background, but Im sure not gonna pay $16 a month to do it

Yes I agree the Bing Places mobile interface is terrible but since when can't I even sign in on mobile?!?

Usually I don't bother replying to spam text messages but I thought this one was pretty creative, so I did.

Just bought a month's use of this Chrome add on - pretty big timesaver when you need to remove lots of low quality content from Google - chromewebstore.google.com/detail/googl...

I've used the Gmail app for years on my Android with my non Google Workspace IMAP email account. Suddenly all of my mail folders are no longer accessible, and the menu shows me only these...

Anyone else having trouble changing accounts in Google Analytics? The status bar just keeps cycling over and over. I've logged out, back in, tried incognito and even Firefox, but I get nowhere for the past 10 minutes.

How do I get Streamyard to leave me alone since they have no unsubscribe options? #CANSPAM #FTC #internetlaw

Dammit, I missed first chair. I hate when that happens.

I really hope @TeamViewer @teamviewer.bsky.social @teamviewer.com goes bankrupt. - [sic] "You bought a a lifetime license? Well that didn't mean YOUR lifetime. And it still works over a LAN, just not the Internet, so technically we didn't lie to steal your $800."

Thank you to whoever wrote this so Google #AI could steal it and give me the answer instantly. (and Apple #Safari you suck)

No recent sales via your @wordpress.org @woocommerce.com store? This might be your issue...

Hitting "Show More" on this AI overview result removes all the serps except one - a paywalled @WSJ link, with nothing beneath that. Yuck.

For months I have not been able to @tag people while messaging in the #Android @Upwork app. Nothing happens with the @ key. Anyone else have this issue? Maybe I'm missing something...

Work work work. All I ever do is work. Really looking forward to retirement...

Previous couple of winters, my @Google assistant has worked great. This year, with @GeminiApp It keeps notifying me of the same new text message despite my verbal reply of "No" to the response question... This makes working while #Snowboarding much more difficult.

Literally the first time I've ever googled for a potential food combo and found no recipe. I have some leftover miso tamarind soup and I'm going to use it to make risotto. No parmesan I think makes sense.

The best thing about a clam pizza is that nobody at my house likes it, and I get all of the leftovers.

At one point I thought they would build tiny hard drives and put DVRs into glasses, so I actually bought this domain. You never know what technology might bring, but this won't be it.

I'm SO tired of being supposedly signed up for random Zoom webinars by what are essentially spammers. Finally, after unsubscribing to yet another one, I was offered this:

Now that actual retirement is imminent (literally under 1000 days ;) my next step was to sign up as a volunteer to help new businesses with their websites & internet marketing. #SEO

@inmotionhosting.bsky.social Alyssa was awesome helping me resolve an SPF error before heading to the airport. Hopefully she'll tell you about the phone support auto disconnecting...

Since @Google killed off caching, it seems only fair to donate something - anything - to archive.org since without them we'd be totally screwed.

Since Skype shut down 6 weeks ago, this made me laugh yesterday.

So what's up with Search Atlas? Is searchatlas.com is misconfigured? Bankrupt? Got edited incorrectly with OTTO?

Scott Hendison @shendison.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

This site has been totally stagnant for a few months, and now over 2/3 of their pages have dropped out of the index altogether. from 191 pages indexed to only 63. really aggressive the end of May. #GooglePagePurge

Remember these? GoogleMyBiz mailed them out, and this was mine. The QR code no longer works :( #localseo

I wonder if there any class action lawsuits yet over this notice from TeamViewer? A lifetime license should actually be a lifetime license. Limiting it to only LAN connections is NOT acceptable, although a full refund would be fine.

Scott Hendison @shendison.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

I knew I only had one appt this afternoon, but wasn't sure what time, so I asked @GoogleAI "what's on my calendar today?" This is ridiculous.

Google is driving me crazy. Thanks for so much easier in the old days when all I had to do was stay alive...

After reading this, I successfuly registered for the program cloud.google.com/developers/g... but after activating the account successfully via email verification, there's a bug preventing completion. Even trying different email addresses didn't work. ;(

Scott Hendison @shendison.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

I have never once subscribed to YouTubeTV so there's no way I could "reactivate". Is this just a bug, or is it a strategy to trick us into thinking we're losing something?

Now that they've remapped the side button, I wonder if the top Gemini search phrase for Samsung mobile users is "How do I restart my phone?"

Scott Hendison @shendison.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

Anyone else hate the latest Samsung phone UI update? This helped a lot, and I can again pull down from the center, and see icons the same way it's worked for years.
