Please stop nagging people to use your shiny new slop generator.

The first and only thing I ask when a company does this is: how can I ask a question to a human representative?

Pull the plug on datacenters that depend on polluting energy sources.

It doesn’t end on the last installation screen. Then it takes lots of time and digging to scrub bloatware, and to change many settings to make Windows less invasive since the defaults are bad.

There’s a standard API for offline webapps: ServiceWorker https://dev.to/taiwofamaks/build-an-offline-first-web-app-with-service-workers-2ml7

I wonder why it’s not used more. Maybe not intuitive enough, or maybe JS framework don’t support this.

The original presentation is german speaking. There’s human-produced english translation in a separate audio channel, thanks to volunteers aka angels.

Use the video settings, ie gear icon, to select the language.

Meanwhile, Microsoft is making 400 million PCs obsolete by ending Win10 and setting arbitrary requirements for Win11. This is causing perfectly fine hardware (and RAM) to end-up as e-waste, so that it can be replace by new, more expensive Win11 compatible hardware.

Now is a good time to buy second-hand hardware and abandon Windows.

And here’s an example of creating a mount object of an NFS server share and setting a Smack security module label. However, instead of attaching it to a mount point, the program uses the mount object directly to open a file from the NFS share.

That’s neat. But that’s not enough to access a partition as a normal user. fsopen returns -1 (Operation not permitted).

Using 10 year old hardware with 10 year old drivers on 10 year old OS require no further work.

The hardware doesn’t change, but the OS do.

The extension remains live and featured as of this writing.

The Chrome Web Store should be avoided for security. Google keeps failing at moderaring their store, at the same time kneecaping legitimate adblockers with manifest v3 in the name of security, and failing to remove actual malicious extension after both manual review and dislosure of its behaviour by outsiders.

Running Chrome without any extension isn’t ideal either, it would leave people without protection from malvertising and tracking. So better avoid Chrome altogether, use Firefox or Zen Browser or Tor Browser.

An infinite loop canot be ruled out in the last case, so a compiler couldn’t optimize this away without potentially changing the program behavior.

The compiler will optimize it anyway. /s

I bet that makes you want to curse in sweedish.

Name the fonction after a war criminal.

If they sell 2 variants of the Steam Machine, they could remove HDMI from one , and just put it in the more expensive variant, to reflect the extra headaches and cost that comes from HDMI.

That’d encourage people to get screens with DisplayPort. Many computer screens have DP.

Or even better, drop HDMI support in favor of displayport

Yes, please race to see which country electrify and transition away from fossiel fuel the fastest.

Another reason to stay away from Google Discover.
