Random posts from a tech guy.
The continuous social media scrolling feed will be found to be one of the most toxic systems ever created: Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, Shorts, you name it, is going to be found to have negatively impacted society, and readers of history will wonder how they were ever born.
I know Windows gets all the hate for its update timing and for annoying less-technical users, but when I went to read on my iPad, it said the update would start in 2 seconds. Is that timing or did I wake up the update by walking around with it?
Hold up, this is a new site. Did I just build a new blog with a bot's help? Yeah, I did, because I could and wanted to try it. It took about 2 days to set up on my local server and tinker with advanced features, but it works. This is basically a Tweet but on my site. Longer blog posts will show up soon, and I imported the old content, but most of it is archived because it wasn't really important.
With the ever-growing list of the source of the content we consume not being physical and buying things or adding things to lists in digital form, I am finding a disturbing trend. I first noticed this with music tracks on Spotify and Apple Music. But I ran across audiobooks and have seen stories of digital […]
Well, I am not dead. And I don’t know anything not already public about the Clintons so I should be ok in small aircraft and hot tubs for a while. This may be the last post for WebLuke.net on WordPress or I may lose interest and not do anything to build a blog/site using ASP.Net […]
In the past few months, Microsoft updated security settings by default that breaks the ability for users of Office 365 to use the feature of forwarding their emails to another external account. This was done with good intentions to help stop hackers from logging into an account and forwarding emails to their account so they […]
Wow, that is a title! This story starts a few years ago when I was studying Computer Science, and I was reminded of it from some random thing in the news today about a group suing a school district because they were collecting toys for kids for Christmas and they were atheists, so it made […]
Well, it looks like Apple did what they were saying they would, by announcing new MAC computers with their own processer they announced at their developer conference. This is basically their own ARM processer similar to the processer used in the iPad and iPhone, but with more memory directly attached to the chip. While this […]
My previous job had given me an iPhone 7 Plus because they used all Apple and were paying the bill. When CCP Virus hit, they still had my number on their plan, and so when I left, they just let me stay on it for a while. Recently they have not been doing any better, […]
I am trying out blogging from my phone in bed. This will probably be a lot of random thoughts. So far, it’s not the beat. I am using an iPhone 11, it has a good-sized screen, but in my case, two-handed tap typing isn’t that easy. Then lying down, I have to hold it up […]
All first-person game developers stop using head bob in your game. If you want some, then sure add the option to enable it, but make sure users can disable it altogether. This is because the extra movement of things on screen or shaking of the camera causes people to get sick, and it is not […]
For a long time, I have been keeping notes on ideas for projects, work I have done, and other thoughts using Microsoft OneNote. It has so many things in different notebooks that I forget about them sometimes until I go back and want to add or use the ideas. Take my news project. It was […]
I really hate how sites that have lots of ads always try to guilt you if you block the ads you had no plan on ever looking at or clicking. Take the screen shot in this post, the site says they spend $20,000 on hosting. What that’s a crazy amount of money for a site […]
So if you are into getting your DVDs onto a computer for viewing on the go or just because you want to box up those disks and you can’t find the show on Netflix or what not you have heard of Handbrake for converting video files. But when working with it on Windows you had […]
