I hate this Google sign-in box that now turns up on every website I visit. Here's how to turn it off. You have to do it in your Google account so the change applies to all of your devices. It's been out there a while, but just 'found ' me. howtogeek.com/735152/how-to-…

In the middle of a 5-day power outage, and without my ISP, I’ve realized how utterly horrible T-Mobile’s network is where I live (and work). WiFi Assist has been doing all the work. T-Mobile Help. Looking at switching asap.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. Via Streetsblog USA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/pro…

Most people don’t know much at all about HIPPA, except as a term that broadly refers to an expectation of patient privacy. Amazon is intentionally misleading people using the Business Associate status to dodge the regulation to gather the data. Good work Geoffrey A. Fowler

With construction “season” in full swing, sign up to receive road closure notifications at a2gov.org/roads.?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_content=ap_0yesswxsoj The city also provides road closure notices to WAZE, a free app.

“The lesson here is that traffic is not an inalterable and irreducible quantity dictated by nature; it’s actually very dynamic and elastic. People readily change their travel behavior in response to the availability of road capacity.” 💯 City Observatory. usa.streetsblog.org/2023/06/13/so-…

I was laid off from Twitter today. I was the designer in charge of our new rebranding to X. I learned so much in my 2.5 weeks at the company but I’m excited to see where I land next. If you’re hiring a self taught, junior designer please DM me. Graphic design is my passion!
