Last time I tried Openbox I found configuration horrible (XML, really?) compared to 'traditional' WMs like fvwm, mwm, cwm e.t.c. If LXQt automates things like application lists then I guess that would permit a more usable experien

We would have saved a lot of waste if societies skipped smartphones altogether. The world is now littered with basic phones that have either been sent to landfill or abandoned, besides all the smartphones with obsolete 'smart' fun

How do Epic's games benefit users in meaningful ways over any of the other non-exploitative games on the App Store?

Lots of legacy apps use bit-mapped graphics instead of vectors. Xaw and Motif are both not resolution-independent toolkits but getting them to support integer scaling (with line-doubling) would be far easier than trying to implement fractio

Well Vista removed support for kernel-mode printer drivers ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/pr... ), Vista introduced the WDDM model for video drivers in user-mode, 8 removed support

Eh, I don't agree. NT 3.51 — solid NT 4.0, 2000 & XP — less, less and less solid Vista — premature 7 — ok 8 — borked 10 & 11 — untouchable

I don't think their S30+ (dumb) phones have that sort of ToS imposed...but then I can't imagine you want to revert to that sort of thing.

IE6 was actually a perfectly fine browser at launch, the trouble was that it stayed current for so long that getting IT infrastructure to abandon it took far longer than it should have. XP and Server 2003 had a similar predicament.

With Fastmail I get a lot of messages purporting to be from Fastmail threatening account termination/verification, something along those lines. Most of them are automatically sent to spam.

It's an okay system but apathy has resulted in abnormalities, such as the A5-M1 Link Road leaving a bunch of routes in Dunstable out of zone. The A14, as conceived in the 90s, has always started out of zone because that was the easiest

Maybe it's just me but I don't like hanging things on my arms, it's uncomfortable and distracting.

If social status is that important to someone then I think a second-hand genuine iPhone in decent nick would send a better message than a fake new one. Maybe even an old 6000 series Nokia. Like the person is more authentic and looks after t

My typing is much faster than my handwriting, so if I am able to type I always opt for that. Slide changes when my notes for them are unfinished are really annoying.
