Very nice! Just, I'm not sure that users who stick to Excel despite a web app do so just because of Excel's interface... sometimes it is because it is much easier to work with files than with web sites. And sometimes the way to ge

Yes it is. I think the author was supposing that the phone system will listen for DTMF tones only at that specific moment. But in fact in most cases those tones (at least nowadays) are detected at any time in the call (and of course ignored

Relating to this sentence in the article: > I've never heard of a call center system that can accept touch tones seamlessly while a call is active, and it would take extremely sophisticated audio processing capabilities to be able t

You can't enforce real isolation in user mode, you need the kernel to do it.

I would be fine with Firefox packaged as snap. If snap would have the decency of working fine with the typical configuration used in managed systems (NFS home mounts, LDAP auth and similar stuff). But it doesn't. Until that day, snap i

My impression is that many configurations not commonly used by home users (but used by power users, schools, companies, etc.) are not properly tested in Ubuntu. In the past we had a lot of problems with pam_unix2, which was the only module

VSCode was the one that made me uninstall snapd on the installation image for our classroom...

by ale42 5y ago
... on our systems we removed snapd on purpose, because we only have problems with it (we have NFS-mounted homes, and many snap packages don't work in this configuration)... now Firefox on snap doesn't sound good for us.

Awesome, I was looking for this a few days ago. I can't understand why such a basic function is not integrated in Windows directly!

The idea of using a VoIP provider would be to _avoid_ using one's phone, e.g. to get better rates... And the reply-to number, it's unfortunately not the way telcos work... and changing all the infrastructure for this would be very

by ale42 5y ago
It's not as easy... For example, it is possible and legal to use your own number to call from a VoIP provider, so the recipient can call you back on your actual phone. On the other hand, it should be possible to detect at least a perce

Except that for many users IP is unusable, only the TCP and UDP layers are actually properly handled by most "home" device. SCTP? Maybe over UDP... definitely not as protocol 132 inside IP. And CGNAT makes things even more complic
