Onboard device storage is kept low for these reasons...

Checking right now on Microcenter, a Sandisk Ultra Plus 1.5 TB microSDXC Memory Card is priced around $360 USD. A Samsung Galaxy Fold 8 phone however, starts at $1,900, and only comes at that price point with 256GB of storage. To upgrade to the Galaxy Fold 8 model with 1 TB of storage, a whopping ...

How are we so complacent with all the broken promises of social media?

So after many years of being on social media and apps, from Myspace, to Facebook, to YouTube & Instagram, to Twitter, to SnapChat, to TikTok, to BlueSky we all know it started out free, but slowly became a service that consumes a lot of time (and even now money) to participate in.... Time is money ...

Let's not fool ourselves about Ai taking jobs. It's just humans, foolishly laying talented humans off.

Hey there, we're back! After a long hiatus caused by our old hosting provider pulling tricks to milk us out of all our money!

The spelling mistakes are intentionally left -in- to let you know our writing is only generated by humans, you know, the old fashioned way...

Anyhow, I figured it would be ...

Criticizing YouTube from the perspective of an Independent Creator

These days I find myself going down a rabbit hole of misdirection in finding information about people that post online these days... Whenever I see a post about a musician or other notable people, unless they're already popular, it's become quite hard to find a biography for them, or even a single ...

The modern tech economy is based far too heavily on making creators work for free

I've done many things in life to make a living, like consulting people as an IT architect, like editing film, and even investing in real estate and ensuring friends and associates make the right investments in it too...

The driving force behind wealth inequality no one will ever tell you about

Trading cryptocurrency and stocks, technology, winning the lottery, starting a new business, pretty much everything profitable, and yes - even becoming a cult figure on social media are all based around the same principal -- You only succeed if you invest both an epic amount of time and money.

Tech Leadership has lost the plot on Human Centric Design, Creating Opportunity, & Value

As I doom scroll through Twitter these days, I feel my brain getting scrambled and fried like an omelet with far too many add-ons at Waffle House... I can't help the multiplying feeling of sadness as I realize that the bot infiltration is in full effect now more than ever on Twitter and many other ...

In the age of music modernization, why are publication & royalty management methods so low-tech?

It's crazy how we're always talking about the effect of modern things like TikTok, Spotify, & Ai on music, but the music industry is still all based on wildly complex, mysterious, and ancient copyright and royalty payment systems that take ages for clearances and payouts while still not being able ...

At some point we've got to ask why modern human-centric tools are being "dumbed down"

In many places, my spell check now works quite poorly. Especially on my mobile phone. I know it's not just me experiencing this because I've observed some of the very same mistakes I usually make in posts of others on social media, and even in print articles... Examples of it are found when I try to ...
