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.

They are insecure with no way to know what the real URL is.
If you don't control it you can't guarantee the link will always work (bad for print).
Register a shorter domain or novelty domain for your print publication.

How are they useful?
