I wonder if anyone lived up to their MASH potential and lives in a mansion and drives a stretch limousine?

I wonder what their swimsuit edition looks like…

At this point I think I like photopea.com/ more than I ever liked Photoshop.

My Mom doesn’t want to bother with Windows 11. Windows 10 will be supported for 5 years and after that she doesn’t think she will be interested in computers anymore.

If you don’t like cheeseburgers, wtf is wrong with you?

Check the network tab of your browser’s dev console to see if event requests are being sent to google-analytics.com

Here is a reference for decoding the parameters developers.google.com/analytics/…

Of course this is a nightmare if you’re just googling “Google Analytics event tracking” and both ga() and gtag() are available functions but if you use the wrong one the event data never gets sent. It just fails silently.

And then there is Google Analytics 4 which is a huge mess and completely different. I guess I understand why “ignorance is bliss” now.

Google Analytics event tracking is so confusing since different tracking code requires slightly different formats. This is really hard to know if you’re just googling around using generic terms.

If your Google Analytics looks like
googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=… then see developers.google.com/analytics/…

Make calls via gtag()

If your Google Analytics looks like
google-analytics.com/analytics.j… then see developers.google.com/analytics/…

Make calls via ga()
