What I like about tech culture or marketing is that it tends to be more relaxed. At least in my experience, I ve always had a very open and friendly relationship with CEOs.
But the bigger the company, the more distant the CEO tends to be from the team members.
(For example, it s much easier to remember everyone s name in a flat structure with 14 people than in a large corporation where a manager manages a manager who manages someone else and has dozens of people under them. You get me.)
Hey guys, hoping to get a bit of advice here. I formatted my old 10-year-old Acer laptop (Windows 10, HDD) and realized too late that I forgot to back up around 300GB of photos and videos.
I did a scan with Disk Drill just to check, and luckily all the files are still intact. But I can't afford the Pro version to actually recover them. I know people usually recommend PhotoRec, but is there anything a bit more user-friendly that is completely free for this much data? Thanks in advance!
We audited what our own site actually answers, and the result came out backwards from what we assumed.
A couple of hundred pages, most of them a template matrix built for search traffic. Those were cached properly. The pages the whole matrix funnels into, the homepage and pricing and the free generators and the legal pages, were answered no-store, every one of them. The pages we care most about were the only ones a shared cache was never allowed to keep.
I have a rule in my blog that noindexes a category page while it has zero posts in it, and drops it from the sitemap at the same time. I wrote it on 18 July. It is one line: robots index false when the post count is zero.
On 13 August Google crawled one of those category pages while it was still empty. It picked up the noindex, and Search Console filed it as Excluded by noindex tag.
A post landed in that category some time after that. I checked the page today. It returns 200, it serves no robots meta at all, it lists its post, and it is back in the sitemap alongside the other 270 URLs.
Search Console still says Excluded by noindex tag. Last crawl 13 August. Fifteen days of a verdict about a version of the page that no longer exists, and nothing in the report tells you the reason is a snapshot from the last crawl rather than a current read.

I m just a week away from launching my first product on Product Hunt. Super excited, super overwhelmed and last night, I found myself wondering: "How all this started?"
Truth is, I ve always been a restless soul (or as we say in Spanish, culo inquieto) once I ve learned everything in a role, I get bored. So I build. Not out of ambition, but out of a need to keep learning and growing.
As a developer looking at the current state of cloud gaming and digital distribution, I've been running into a major structural contradiction.
On one side, traditional cloud gaming forces users into a monthly subscription rental model where they never truly own local files or game data. On the other side, local gaming requires users to invest in increasingly expensive hardware. The industry treats "owning a game" and "executing a game" as a single bundled product.
I ve been exploring a hybrid concept and wanted to get thoughts from other makers here:
The Ownership Layer: A GOG-style approach where users buy and download actual local files for offline play, giving them absolute ownership with zero subscriptions.
The Convenience Layer: An optional edge/cloud-streaming network that acts as a runtime environment for those already-owned files when users are on weaker hardware or traveling, bridged via real-time save-state syncing.
I'll go first. A large HR platform sent out an automated AI-written email offering condolences on a prospect's coworker's death, and then tried to hook them into a demo.
