However, I HATE today’s game. HATE it so much that I need to use capital letters for emphasis. Don’t worry, I didn’t fail. My streak is still unbeaten at 1,134.

What’s that? You weren’t worried about my streak? Well, thanks. No, I HATE it because it has a particular format that acts as my personal Kryptonite. And I’m no Superman. Seriously, I seem to have a mental blind spot when it comes to solving Wordles like […]

Microsoft Edge’s uninstall document promotes the browser over Google Chrome, without any actual removal instructions It features a checklist on supposed advantages over Google ChromeThere’s no official way to uninstall Microsoft Edge, as the control panel only allows for a ‘repair’ It’s no surprise that Microsoft is making more attempts to shift PC users away from other browsers in favor of its own Edge option yet again – but its latest scheme could be a new low point. As spotted by Windows Latest, a new ‘uninstall document‘ was released by Microsoft, supposedly explaining how to remove Microsoft Edge from your PC, but surprisingly, it doesn’t. Instead, it compares Edge to Google Chrome with a checklist (pictured below) of features that it claims are available on Edge but not Chrome (which isn’t completely true) – essentially, it’s doing the opposite of what most people would expect a document about uninstalling an app to do.. It’s a shame that […]
