Adobe tells you to use Chrome, not Firefox

Friend gave me access to his Adobe account (I’m never giving Adobe money again), and it looks like they don’t even support Firefox. That means I’m not using even the one remaining browser-based Adobe service that’s left....

Why do people say that "return to office" is about raising commercial real estate prices?

My office has automatic faucets in the bathroom and I've started sticking my hands under the faucet at home and wondering for a second where the water is.

What the hell is wrong with me?

For those who pirate songs, how do you discover new music?

Smartest thing I've done this month: Disable the YouTube app

I’m using a stock Samsung Galaxy 8 phone right now (with Android 10) and I disabled the YouTube app. I was basically sick of its s***. Since then, I never sign in to the app/site, and so may aspects of using the site are much better now....

Seriously, though. How often do you think of the Roman Empire?

I know this is a joke/meme, but I sincerely think of the Roman Empire a surprising amount of times.
