Okay. So they sold out and the alternative is a browser from an advert company. How do you think Mozilla should fund the development of Firefox?

They want you to buy a Mac. It's likely somewhat intentional.

Why are they deploying their own certificate into the root store???? This is shocking behaviour. What's the difference between this and malicious software.

I imagine the majority of people using web extensions for VPN are likely using them for watching blocked videos rather to hide. That's why I pay for a VPN service, to watch geo restricted YouTube videos. So to me it's as secure as

Isn't that laptop from like 6 years ago? I'd imagine your GPU is very much considered legacy.

Well that's on Broadcom so there's not too much the RasPi people can do. Since they must have pushed for some openess.

I mean they can disobey the whip. He should have the self awareness that trying that could result in Labour collapsing like the LibDems did.

When you plug a hdmi cable into a Samsung phone you can either use screen mirroring or go into a desktop mode thats designed for keyboard and mouse.

I wonder what container technology they use. Also whether there'll be GPU acceleration or just framebuffer. Can we play a 4k YouTube video out of the box in Firefox? Also there's two SoCs. In most of the world there's a Samsu

DeX is Samsung's brand for connecting their phones to a monitor and having a desktop mode. It's not related to dex/art of Dalvik.

Refuse to give them infrastructure? You seem to know the recipe to kill an open source project. Have you considered working in enterprise software?

I guess if you want to guarantee KDE compatibility. KDE support a laptop called the slimbook: https://kde.slimbook.es

Generally the opinion is that KDE is the superior experience. Your complaints are like an American saying that their 110v electricity is good and everyone should switch to it. But it can't even boil a kettle in a reasonable time.

Well your use case is exactly what they said that they didn't want.

It costs money to support and a miniscule amount of users would care. The majority of Google's customers also don't pay for an account.

The slice of the pie? If these companies are upset about it, they can just leave the UK market.

Is weight an issue? I recently got the P51 for work and was really surprised at how solidly it was built. My previous laptop was a T450 the ThinkPad reputation really surprised me because it felt a bit flimsy

This is a pretty interesting shift. Is it a general trend such as it happening in Engineering, and/or sciences or is it localised to just tech? Perhaps the younger generation is more anti war? Thoughts?

The fact that a business has to hire these people to do that job is indicative of flaws in Windows. As well as this idea that consumer users are essentially beta testers.

Thing is Digg at its height is no where near to the amount of users that Reddit has reached. Replacing it with a similar site seems as likely as replacing YouTube. Anyone have any ideas on what could cause a mass shift?

It's amazing how Chrome has become the Internet Explorer 6 of the modern web era. Instead of ActiveX I wonder what would be an appropriate way to describe it.

What's an example of a good product in it? Because in my opinion SharePoint and OneDrive are terrible. And the Azure Portal is only now getting somewhat bearable.

Make it so that tickets can only be resold at face value. There's an app called Twickets that does something similar to that. Also I've been to concerts where the person who bought the tickets needs to be there. And they check y
