Yandex is pretty good for image searches.

This change must be region-limited, or just takes awhile to roll out. In Canada, I tried searching for 2 of the sites on DDG the story said were removed, and they both still show up.

Word of advice, this is interesting and worth paying attention to. However, hearing loss has already been successfully cured before decades ago. I remember reading back in the 80s that it was only 10 years away. It actually worked.. only pr

Oh absolutely, well said. I miss those days when time spent at the screen was intent time. For a long while now for me, it's basically just been a TV replacement.

Let's say you want to print something, all you need to do is pop open the menu and can quickly scan for the printer icon which is a recognizable shape. Without the icon, you have to consciously read the lines in the menu to make sure y

You have to start further back than you realize. Almost all computers nowadays ship with a second dedicated CPU and OS that you can't access or shut off. They are network self-aware and it is a backdoor. The most well known one is call

It is interesting to contemplate how much of this problem is artificially induced by executives in suits screaming at people to "innovate". Strangely enough, we don't seem to mess around with steering wheels in cars.

The flatness of some UIs along with the removal of some visual cues has happened that I have tapped on things that aren't actually a button thinking that they might be one. When I make my own apps one day, I am going to ignore design f

I am only a sample size of 1, but twice now ascorbic acid about 1 or 2 teaspoons worth drank seems to have stopped a visual migraine after 15 minutes.

Not about a console, but sometimes manufacturers or developers change the UI of the system or valued apps. Examples: Sony removed Linux OtherOS from the Playstation 3 firmware because even though it didn't have a GPU driver, they were

Curious to know what was created here. Are Flatpaks copyrightable?

These fellows did work for free for Microsoft? Very generous of them.

On Windows, you can use PowerToys (from Microsoft).

I love the old interface. The new one is impossible for me to use. I can't read a thing on it.

The best browser on Android is usually Samsung Internet Browser. It will work on non-Samsung devices. It has dark mode, it has adguard block addon, it's chromium, etc.

I'm still driving 88.0.11, last version before the UI re-design. I have a current version installed in parallel as well to keep an eye on things. One problem I have with some applications these days, and now Firefox as well, the techni

No, it doesn't. It doesn't seem webrender can be disabled anymore.

Interesting that you are so opposed to it. I like lists because it lets me follow topics without having to "follow" an individual, or just to have a subject-matter-focused feed without having to sort through the messy mishmash tha

Be aware with lists you still need to select between show top tweets and latest tweets with the icon in the upper right. Chronological is not the default setting for lists.

The point is Firefox has preferable ergonomics. For example, Firefox allows an end-user to specify their own fonts and colours. Chrome/Edge do not allow this.

Install Samsung Internet Browser. It's Chromium and it will run on non-Samsung devices. You can install the AdGuard add-on in it. It will let you put the bar at the bottom too. That said, I use Firefox on my desktop.

Set the OS to a higher scaling DPI. I use 150%. Then, in the Firefox browser uncheck "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" this will allow all websites to display nice legible text. You can also

I ran my Sony monitor at 100 Hz back then. The mouse movement sure got much smoother when I clocked the PS/2 port to 200 Hz.

Emulators don't display the old games/game consoles the way a CRT can. CRTs had better colour and much less lag. On top of that, games meant to be played on a vector monitor just won't look right on an LCD. iPad Pro is a 3:4

You're still in the honeymoon phase. Wait till later when you're at the shopping mall and receive a text to come home now because they know where you are and it's been deemed a non-essential activity.

I contacted the implant manufacturer when I became aware of the issue.. apparently there is even a warning that ultrasonics can damage it.. but it's not clear to me if that's just legalese or if it's actually a clear and pres
