Background I got a Fitbit when they first came on the market. After trying it, I was hooked. I focused on maintaining weight loss. A pedometer seemed so 20th century to me.

Yes, They Are Inaccurate When I tested fitness and sleep trackers, the results were wholly inconsistent....

Do a Google search for “Google in 1998.” When you get to the search results page, you might notice things look a bit, um, pre-turn of the century. That’s right, instead of the Google doodle of the day in the top-left, you can see an old school Google! logo. (That’s right, before there was “Jeb!”, Google was rocking the branded exclamation point.) Oh, and if you’re wondering why your cursor isn’t turning into a little hand when you mouseover links, it’s because cursors didn’t do that back in 1998....

You can use more speakers effectively as the audio channels are split across more than two speakers. If you use less than two speakers, however, the audio quality will diminish—half of the audio can’t play.

Thankfully, you can quickly enable mono audio on Windows 11 (or disable it again) to take advantage of a single speaker....
