What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

Why the click bait? Are you being paid by the site? Just put the feature in the title and save us a click
I avoid editorializing titles no matter how shitty they are and in this case the feature is already showcased in the cover image which doesn't require clicking on the article to see.
I avoid editorializing titles as well, but so many headlines these days are written as clickbait, that finding a good alternative link is usually time consuming and sometimes impossible. I compromise by adding [the key info in brackets], which is widely recognized as acceptable when clarification is needed.
Hmmm... somewhere in here is a solution for the Bluetooth connection prioritization/stealing quagmire but I cant sus out how.
If bluetooth audio devices would include a paired device selection function by cycling through the list of connected devices sequentially instead of auto-prioritizing either the most recent connection or the most recently paired device that would fix a lot of the Bluetooth hellscape we are in right now.
Or just let me select a primary device. Hell if you let me prioritize like 3-5 devices that would be good enough. I could prioritize them 1-5 and be done.
Not sucking?
It sounds perfect for the 15 Minutes of Hate.
Fuk this post.
