From the cities' perspective, Chicago out of nowhere takes the 1st spot in 2019, while it was not in the top 10 in 2018, I guess probably this is related to intensive Einstein Analytics posts in 2019. New York climb to spot #4, and London drop to #6. The top 6 cities represent almost 22% of the total visitors.

In terms of the operating system, there is no change in the top 5 operating system. There is a slight decrease in Windows users. While mobile and tablet users stay the same with close to 6% contribution of the total visitors, this makes sense because most of the visitors access this blog when they have difficulty in configuring Salesforce using the desktop/laptop.

As mentioned in last year's blog, screen resolution 1536x864 probably is 1920x1080 resolution with the display set to 125% zoom, and 1280x720 is 150% zoom of 1920x1080. In total, 1920x1080 is contributing to more than 42%. I have no idea with 1024x768, but some of the contributions probably are tablets and mobile.
