Email Trick
Gmail treats addresses with dots and plus signs as identical, allowing users to create unique identifiers for spam filtering without managing multiple accounts. By appending a plus sign and any word to an email address, such as [email protected], messages are delivered to the primary inbox while enabling precise filtering rules. This feature is widely available yet underutilized, as most users remain unaware that services like 'Prime' and 'Primogen' resolve to the same destination. Leveraging this mechanism provides an immediate, free method to track and block unwanted correspondence from specific sign-ups.
Mozilla Brings Web Serial Workflows to Firefox, Collaborates With Adafruit
Mozilla has integrated Web Serial API support into Firefox 151 for desktop, enabling direct communication between web pages and hardware devices like microcontrollers without additional software. This update allows developers to control compatible USB and Bluetooth devices directly through the Gecko browser engine, a capability validated through a new collaboration with Adafruit. The integration streamlines workflows for builders by eliminating complex setup requirements, as demonstrated by projects ranging from ESP32-S2 boards to custom CSS manipulation tools. This move expands the browser's utility beyond standard web consumption into direct hardware interaction for the developer community.
