But why does it matter if you "cheat"? That makes no sense. If you can type 95 wpm using keys with letters on them, then that's all that matters. Your goal is to be able to type effectively, not to type with a handicap.

Some older machines just have a "look" that is different than anything made today due to a different design language being used.

People get attached to their machines. It's like a car.

The internet is supposed to work on a server-client model where you can FTP to someone's site, etc. NAT is nothing but a workaround that has caused problems.

Fun game, my compliments to the creators.. there is one variable for me that makes it more difficult. Anti-aliasing. I turn it off on my display because I like sharp crisp fonts without blurred edges--and in fact, the higher resolution your

Not inflammatory no worries, and I have. It's a head scratcher, and a lesson to me. It happened when I disconnected and reconnected a cable while the system was turned on. I thought maybe the HDMI port or chip broke because it is somet

I'm having the weirdest problem with my old PS3.. the HDMI chip got overloaded in some manner and I can't get it to connect to my monitor anymore. My monitor is fine with everything else, but on the PS3 it is just a black screen.

So they could be angry at people for not accepting friend requests from their dog.

I am skeptical. The reason is because I worked for a bank that had a policy of deleting data after 7+ years. The thing is, a number of database tables were just simply removed from the index but still existed and if you knew the name of the

It's more anachronistic than that.. people don't really use that much paper anymore that they need paperweights. Maybe a keychain ornament.

Maybe the latter. They have people on the list who have been dead for 76 years.

One big problem I have with Facebook, is that other than poor mental health which they contribute to--that is documented in their own internal documents (e.g. Instagram)--is that as a for-profit corporation they do not seem to have a value

Will be interesting to see if WeChat will actually allow account deletion.. last time I looked years ago, they did not.

1995 is still recognizably modern. Now drop them in 1985 instead. No video on demand or highspeed connections or cell phones. CONNECT 1200.

Where I live, the banks talk to each other to make sure that they're paying roughly the same for a given type of position. Every time I or others complained about our perceived low pay, they said that they don't give cost of livin

I am not impressed by Google's response here. I am not so sure that this recruiter deserved termination. They were hired to find personnel. I haven't seen this "do not call" policy, but it seems unnecessarily restrictive

That's why the T-800 Terminator's code was from Nibble magazine. SoftTalk didn't want to create Skynet.

What was it like being a columnist in the 80s? Did everyone work from home and hold meetings over the telephone, or did they have a shared office space?

I miss those days so much. 80s computer magazines were exciting. The web is great, but it doesn't have the anticipation of waiting for the next issue and then sitting down to dig into it with focused attention to see what was fresh and

I am reminded of one of the Trump rallies the other year. There was a fellow in a plaid shirt who was ejected and detained by the SS for not manifesting suitably ecstatic facial expressions. https://time.com/5390792/pla

I don't think the current hate for ProtonMail is justified. Like I point out about Signal, it's a privacy messenger not an anonymity messenger (in reference to the phone numbers). That said, the web-generated encryption keys in Pr

To the Framework laptop owners in the thread, I have a question about the power button light. In the image I saw, it seemed rather large (square) as it outlines the fingerprint reader and likely perceptually brighter as a result due to the

It's disappointing to me that Netflix keeps reducing the bitrate on their videos.. they're not the only offender but the most prominent.

I have some concerns with Qt. Not the functionality, but the implementation of some of it. My primary concern is that it doesn't respect the OS's anti-aliasing settings. It defaults to making fonts anti-aliased, even if you don&#x

Apple has a history of taking features from apps and calling it their own. Instapaper is an example.

I would rather use an unsupported device that has the ability to do a variety of things than a supported device that doesn't allow various features which is the case with iOS for me. With Apple, it's their way or the highway.

Still not going to be decoded in hardware on iOS.
