Google Chrome 100 is only a few updates away and already there are fears that it may cause certain websites to break. Thankfully, Google is already investigating this and working towards finding a fix. Like all software, each new Chrome update attempts to fix bugs in previous versions. Now nearing its 100th iteration, Google has confirmed that Chrome 100 could, in fact, cause some sites, for instance, those built with Duda, to completely malfunction. This is because such sites use the same User-Agent string to detect what browser, browser version, and operating system you're using. It's a User-Agent String Thing If you head over to WhatIsMyBrowser.com to check your User-Agent string, you'll get something like the image below. Notice that in this example, the Chrome version is written as Chrome/96.0.4664.110. However, most web devs settle for the first two digits (major version) only, e.g. Chrome 96, which is also the case with Duda. Drawing from this illustration, Chrome/99 becomes 99, and Chrome/100 will default to 10.  » Read More

With the pandemic threatening to close more than 1 in 3 U.S. nonprofits during the next two years, according to estimates from Candid and the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, now is the time for organizations to expand their leverage on social platforms.  Social media provides opportunities to engage audiences and to create conversations between audiences and companies. Rather than spending time and money on paid ads, social media is an effective method to engage constituents, establish trust and loyalty, and build communities. Social media’s powers are incontestable but amongst other platforms, why choose to create a presence on TikTok and audio-only app, Clubhouse? Both TikTok and Clubhouse have content versatility, shareability, and are growing in popularity. In March 2021, Clubhouse surpassed Instagram, TikTok, Zoom and WhatsApp when it topped Apple Inc.’s App Store in more than 30 countries. Recently, Clubhouse co-founders announced the platform would do away with its invitation-only concept, meaning the app is now open to everyone, and the 10 million people on the waitlist will be added over time.  » Read More

Social media’s primary purpose was to facilitate effortless communication across borders and time zones By Gopika Nair Published: Sun 26 Dec 2021, 10:18 PM In early 2021, the tech space was buzzing with the kind of excitement that is only reserved for something new, something shiny and something that promises to be truly revolutionary. That was Clubhouse — the social media app that positions itself as a “new type of social network based on voice”. While images and videos reign supreme on Instagram and TikTok, Clubhouse’s goal was to foster stronger connections among people by means of audio. And the premise worked. Soon after its launch, Clubhouse exploded in popularity, become the fastest-growing social media app in history. Now that we’re in the homestretch of 2021, Clubhouse has been relegated to a “pandemic fad”. The app is still trudging along, but most of its users have abandoned it.

Jeff McNeil's difficult 2021 season may spell an end to his tenure in Flushing.The New York Mets are planning to make the former All-Star utility player available in trade talks once the lockout ends, sources told Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated. Their goal is to trade him for pitching help, according to Ragazzo.McNeil was a revelation for the Mets during his first few seasons in the majors, finishing fourth in the NL batting race in his 2019 All-Star campaign. But the 29-year-old's production dipped this past year when he hit a career-worst .251/.319/.360 with seven homers and 35 RBIs. A hamstring issue limited him to just 120 games.Culture issues are also likely behind this decision after McNeil was part of the Mets' biggest clubhouse controversy in 2021. He was involved in an altercation with star shortstop Francisco Lindor during a game in May after a defensive misplay, and while the teammates famously downplayed it at the time, later reports indicated that Lindor grabbed McNeil by the neck during the argument.  » Read More
