One of the truly funny moments in my tech writing: I forget what the project was, but during final edits of an actually not very large manual, Microsoft Word bleated this https://nxdomain.no/~peter/dokumentet_er_for_stort.jpg at me.
This translates to "The document is too large to save. Delete some of the text before saving."

Digital photo frames: seemingly simple, yet so many are utterly terrible. This piece dives into the murky world of subpar screens, atrocious software, and sneaky subscriptions.
Turns out, finding a truly good one is a quest. What's one piece of tech that *should* be simple but rarely is?

CW: Rant about Windows Mail
Windows Mail is an abomination. It's just taken me half an hour to add two accounts!
Firstly, it automatically tacked port 1 onto the server name when adding the account. I already had a port specified, so I ended up with something like "mail.myserver.com:993:1". As you might expect, this didn't work. Weirdly, it doesn't do this when you go back in and edit the server name.
