Theoretically there are media queries for device type but I don't think I've ever seen them used properly.

Jabor posted:my mobile phone web browser has a flag which seems to do a good job of forcing the desktop site when the mobile site turns out to be unusable garbage (usually because they've deliberately broken their previously-okay mobile site to try and push you to use their app instead) yeah edge "use desktop version" does a pretty good job at faking all the different things sites do to check if its a mobile browser.

Dialogs that load after the initial page load that move links right as you are about to click on them. Looking at you, every time I've tried to click the second result on a Google search.

geoip databases are basically manually curated when you get down to it. its funny that both geoip and bgp, the two definining forces in 'how the internet works' are all basically some scripts that deal with the easy 90% and manual work by burnt out network engineers for the last 10

Whereas if you lie to a dns allocation agency, you could (in theory) lose your allocation if you make them mad enough. I guess this format would be more widely used in larger organizations that need to provide more specific context for specific subnets than you would normally get from a whois request. Like if an ISP needs to split an IP block among different states or a cloud service provider has an ipv6 chunk that is constantly changing availability zones. If you had to contact IANA to get this feed, then IANA would already be telling you which allocations would belong to this organization, and I guess you could just ignore anything that falls outside of that. So, beyond giving incorrect geolocation data for blocks that you own, the risk of mischief would probably be quite low.

those embeds are literally noise to me that bounced off my skull like 5.56 rounds glancing off an armored tank. i recognize they appeared, but i still have no idea what they are trying to communicate one big problem that all these 3.0 tech dorks have is that they don't know how to word their ideas in a way that is in any way shape or form understandable to ppl that don't log on and post Gm  in 3,271 crypto discords bc if you dont do that you are a NGMI loser normie

What is it with brick-and-mortar retailers having absolutely broken search bars on mobile? I'm talking about Barnes and Noble, Macy's, Bed Bath Beyond, and etc Attempting to write stuff into the search bar is an exercise in frustration because not all the keystrokes register. It's as if they're trapping the keystroke before putting it the search field because they want to power the stupid search predictor. Why not just eat my entire rear end? Turn off that poo poo so that I can type what I want to search for, instead of making me copy and paste that poo poo, or spend a half minute trying to type a six letter word. And don't get me started on sites that don't have a search results page, but insist on putting it below the search bar.

When it's easier to use google to search your website than to use your own website's tools, then maybe you should just let google power the search results. Just forward the query to google. There's no shame in it.

The DAU is actually the "Dümmster Anzunehmender User", the dumbest user scenario. If the ratio of absolute gobshites falls below a critical level Twitter can no longer operate, so it's one of their most carefully monitored metrics.

My chromebook now has grammar check, which is nice for people that need it. But I despise grammar check because it's never pointed out anything useful, and instead annoys me with the dumb squiggly blue line. The dumb thing is that you can't just turn off grammar check. Instead, it's a big switch that turns off both grammar and spell checking. On a related note, Google has "enhanced spell checking" that requires you to send all your typed text to Google. This seems like a security nightmare.

Google is awful in general. Google is utterly convinced their machine translations are good, so they automatically translate video titles on youtube at random. You can't turn that off either. They also think their automatic transcriptions are good. So they automatically transcribe German into absolute gibberish, then mangle it through their machine translation into complete nonsense. It's a complete clown show.

i'd guess the cloud spellcheck is the same general technique apple uses though, where they send home a cryptographic hash of a text fragment (usually a word) along with a single/few unencrypted bits from a position of the word derived from the device id. so e.g. for words/phrases only you use they will only ever know it has hash 91e4a58.. and bit number 27 is a 1, while if enough people use the word they can reconstruct it. at least it has no real downsides while giving some privacy for really unique bits.
