ANALYTICS
We have switched to a new method to analyze website viewership, that does not require third party JavaScript and is privacy-respecting. We are also making website analytics optional.

You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.

AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

This helps us maintain and improve our site, providing you with valuable and up-to-date information on the latest technology topics.
