I never had to configure anything for Thunderbird to successfully erase attachments... it has some annoyances (like the fact that the original message is still there marked as deleted, and temporary mispositioning of messages in threads, wh

There are water valves/taps that can be controlled remotely using Bluetooth or Wifi... never used one of them, so I can't comment more on it. There are quite some different brands/models and having different applications (e.g

Isn't Brave based on Chromium (i.e. still some Google behind)?

Worse, some advanced settings are just unreachable now with the new interface. It's a disaster.

So true... some people seem to appreciate the their "aesthetics", but many 2022 UIs are just much worse than what we used to have with... Windows 3.1, or System 7 on Mac. They had uniform keyboard shortcuts (at least Windows, no i

Looks great! Is there a plan for a lightweight native app? (I mean not Electron)

Why should using different languages for front-end and back-end be a problem? I rather think that it is better to use languages that are appropriate for the given problem. It is not premature optimization to have parts of a back-end imple

In the article, I didn't see any information about what ink (and what printer type) can be used for this... any clue where such IR-visible inks can be found? EDIT : Actually, found it in the full "manual"! https:/&#x2F

If your screenshots are intended for documents, don't change the format to JPEG. Depending on the document (e.g. a PDF file) that compression can happen at a later stage. You can always compress a PNG into a JPEG (it's a lossy ope

It also depends who the users are... given that Firefox tends to be used by many technically-inclined users, sysadmins, etc. (at least according to what I observe around me), it might be users you might want to consider, depending on what y

How does it compare with MicroPython? In any case, can be good for PoC or similar things where your microcontroller is largely oversized for the application, but in practice you hardly can exploit your microcontroller's power using suc

Regular telephone audio is usually filtered 0.3-3.4 kHz (this on analog phone lines). Digital phone lines use PCM with A-law (or µ-law in the US and some other places) logarithmic sample encoding, with 8 kHz sampling rate, getting more or l
