A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How will anyone ever search for anything on X? Just add X to the search term? 'Grandmas cookies X'? 'Cute bunny X'? 'Pen Island X'?

Due to a weird Google quirk, you'll get better results if you surround the query with two additional X's, kind of like quotation marks. For example:

Grandmas cookies XXX

Cute bunny xxx

Pen Island xxx

In this case you would search "cute bunny x.com"
