Glad you and I now agree that your attack on the developers were unwarranted. Have a nice day!

Wasn't this exactly what people were hating it for? IKEA used it for print and lots of large prints at that, not just pixel displays? I never said or wrote anything about it as far as I can remember, but I do think it looked worse than

Effectively all software experiences security issues. If you think "never has any disclosed attacks" is a sign of quality, then that speaks more about you than it does these developers.

Why do you think so? $259 is less than a day’s worth of freelance invoice by the hour. Web forms and especially the business logic powering them in the backend can quickly become very complex. Just check out some templates you get out of th

I agree actually, my use of "medium-sized" was not best, in my personal view a medium-sized company is in the 200-500 employee range. These are definitively larger than that, however I assumed the person I replied to took "me

The EU has basically said that it's better to have a handful medium-sized companies in competition for customers than one or two mega-corps owning and dictating the market. And to resolve that they employ two things, one is the DMA&#x2

If running costs are so low as you claim, why does both the Swedish Government as well as plant owners such as Fortum claim that the only way to be profitable on the market is for the Government to subsidise the cost of running the plants?

Sometimes it seems USA truly is the home of cutting-edge tech, yet sometimes not so much… Checking the iOS App Store reviews on the local taxi app I am currently using they go back to 2011, and that's not the oldest one. It has also be

Oh, thanks, it looked like a string such as a hash or base64 encoded data, not binary. Don’t think I have ever seen a use case for binary data like this in a header before.

Available-Dictionary: : =: It seems very odd to use a colon as starting and ending delimiter when the header name is already using a colon. Wouldn’t a comma or semicolon work better?

I initially downvoted you, but on second thought I’m actually a bit sympathetic to your argument. We see a similar pattern happening elsewhere. E.g. US citizens being round up by paramilitary forces and shuttled without due process to place
