Free Answers from Experts-Exchange.com
You might have stumbled upon Experts Exchange if you ever had a computer related question that you could not answer. First step, type in your question into Google. Second step, find the site listed high for the answer and realize that you have to register to access it. Big thanks to eonestudio for making this little trick public. The above link displays a video which shows how you can take a look at the answers for free.
All you need to do is the following. Search for something, e.g. printing from a website, the search string you would enter would look like the following.
printing from a website site:experts-exchange.com
Please note that it is not necessary to use the site:experts-exchange.com parameter, this is only done for demonstration purposes.
The first search result will link directly to the experts-exchange.com article with no solution but a button stating View Solution. If you click that button you see that you will have to subscribe to view the solution. Not today though.
Go back to the Google results page and click on Cached which loads a cached version of that webpage. Guess what? The cached page holds all the answers to the question right at the bottom. Just scroll down and see for yourself.
Update: The trick is no longer necessary, as Experts Exchange have changed the way results are displayed on the site. You can check out How To View Experts Exchange Answers Without Account for the long answer, or use the following explanation:
Just visit the Experts Exchange website and scroll down until you see the result on the page. The site hides the results by displaying lots of junk at the top. If you scroll down though, you will find the answers on the page. You can also check out the Experts Exchange Junk Cleaner to remove that junk from the page.
Update 2: The site has been redesigned again and the answers to questions are no longer displayed on the page so that you can't just scroll down to read them. The userscript linked above also does not work anymore because of this.
Update 3: A new hack emerged that you can make use of to display the answers right on the Experts Exchange website without registration. Visit this page and paste the url of the Experts Exchange question page into the form on it.
Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/
Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
