Side Note: I had no idea there was so much that went into creating content. Nothing but learning all year long. Mad respect for the people that work hard and earn a living making content on YouTube, it's not easy!

It's been a year of making videos on YouTube as https://t.co/T2o5lV68Sp, let's see how I did.

I created 35 videos, 23 shorts, I gained 80 subscribers, got 30 comments, 36,000 views and people watched me for 740 hours 🤯 I promise you I am not that interesting 😝

What I am most proud of is all the people that I have helped through my content. I have learned so much from videos on YouTube, it feels good to give back to the community that has helped me hone the skills I was taught as a child (thanks Mom & Dad ❤️)

So US banks won't let me log into their websites if I use a VPN, but my data is at risk in transit if I don't use a VPN... Does anyone see how this is a conflict?! We're really going to say HTTPS is good enough security?! Or are we saying I can only access my bank's website from my home internet and I have to allow the ISP to log my information and the bank to log my information? And they say they're protecting me?!

Turn one Gmail address into many, add a plus sign and a descriptor after it and Gmail will ignore the plus sign and anything after it.

For example: [email protected] or [email protected]

You'll get the email and have the choice of how to handle it, but with this setup you can easily setup automatic filters to help keep your inbox clear or recurring emails like bills or automatically tag junk mail that gets through to your inbox.

@mjovanovictech I love the idea, but do I just stop defensively coding and risk the exception?

Maturity and coding standards should be easy and yet it's something I see crumble time and time again making defensive coding a requirement. How do I get around this?

Typing into the address/search bar on Chrome on your phone can be a bit difficult with these larger phones and having to do everything with your thumbs. You can move that address/search bar (called the Omnibox) to the bottom of the screen for easier access.

Long-press the address bar > select "Move to bottom." and you'll have an easier time accessing the Omnibox with your thumbs.

Chrome lagging or have an unresponsive tab? Kill it like a pro with Chrome's built in task manager!

Don't have time to read an article on the web you can use Google Chrome reading mode on your desktop computer or 'Listen to this page" on your phone using Google Chrome browser. The voice to text isn't great, if you'd like to really elevate your experience you can ask @Grok voice and ask it to read the article word for word from the top and you'll get a much better text to voice experience and you can dive into topics as the come up.

Using Gmail draft that email now while you have the message on your mind and have it automatically send on a later date. Use the drop down button attached to the Send button to 'Schedule send' your email.

Does anyone else just goof off with some posts on X? Not mean or anything, but sometimes when someone says something funny I like to comment on it and keep the joke going.
