Looks like you can't have a passenger anymore either. I like to have my kid on the backseat of my e-bike. I'm not in the market for this, but I am in the market for making my cargo bike electric. Having to slow down at a traffic l

Yes, well, kind of. Opera had Multiple Document Interface (MDI) which was actually (back then) far more flexible than tabs. But yes, Opera was first with MDI, and also I suppose the first web browser for the smartphone.

Those people are fine just using arrows and backspace, as it isn't worth it to min-max this. I don't want to learn/use Emacs, this doesn't even work on macOS, and Ctrl+A interferes with my tmux keybind. This is why vi

A normal, physical doorbell is 24/7 connected to electricity, else it wouldn't work. It typically has no surveillance capabilities, except when used, it makes a sound/signal/buzz. That's typically its purpose. A &#x
