Interesting. When I search for “Norton Password Manager” on Chrome Web Store, it first lists five completely unrelated extensions, and only the last search result is the actual Norton Password Manager. Somebody told me that website is run by a company specializing in search, so this shouldn’t be due to incompetence, right? What is it then?

Scotch 3M Magnetic Tape Viewer

These are rare beasts, a useful tool for Audio Archiving. It rests on the Tape, showing the Magnetic Pattern

Ensures you get the right Head Configuration first time

Here’s - Quarter Track, Half Track & 8 Track

Before anyone asks, no, it doesn’t work on Helical Video as the Tracks are too fine. But it does show Edge Track Audio & Sync Pulse

there's something mildly ironic about the head office of a parcel delivery company being on the 2nd floor. One of the most irritating things for delivery drivers and it's baked in to every communique they send.


If I didn't have to pay over $700 for Dragon naturally speaking, I'd also get J-dictate for myself because I really enjoy speaking over typing even though I am good at typing.

I can't imagine using my voice instead of my fingers. I never use Siri and only use the smart speakers for limited things, usually when my hands are occupied. I guess I grew up not being welcome to talk very much, I could always type. It also freed me from not being able to communicate well as a child, so I suppose in that regard I've never considered it as something to be replaced by a more efficient method.

@cachondo It's something I considered because even though I can type be there are times when its a pain and if I'm ever going to have a job heavy in writing, I'd rather speak than type.

@samueloph I had those graphs as a kind of inspiration. I decided to go by share and age instead of pinning to years to go better over a longer period of time

makes sense. How about adding a legend on the right side for the Y axis? Could be just me but I struggled a bit with matching the number of months to the most recent values.

@samueloph let's see what I can do. I also want to switch the Y axis to years instead of months
