It infuriates me when Google search result pages jump around as I'm trying to click on links!

I also have so many questions... I've lived in the UK, South Africa, and New Zealand and have never had an opportunity to try one before.

I have discovered ClassicPress - https://www.classicpress.net/ They have forked from WordPress 4.9. I'm not sure yet about their long term feasibility.

I agree, unfortunately. For me, it's been on a decline since wordpress.com came along and from then it's felt more and more like Automattic is driving development to suit their business model. I still run a large-ish blogging netw

To be fair, this has been on the cards for the last couple of years - should be no surprise to anyone. Also, if there's a genuine need to keep IE around for longer, then you have some options, e.g. deploy Win 10 LTSC for specific legac

2.5mm is already pretty common in the audio industry, so the size of the connector shouldn't be an issue.

I'm curious about this too. In the past I've used the free themes from Bootswatch: https://bootswatch.com/ e.g. Flatly and Darkly can be swapped in and used as a light/dark theme easily. Also, means your site

Azure definitely has subscription types that have payment limits. I have one subscription that has some credits on it, and if I go over the limits all services are suspended (i.e. compute, storage, etc) and I can't do anything unless I

This is a clever system. I remember reading about a similar system in Australia that used excess solar power to lift giant concrete bricks, and then these bricks were lowered to the ground in the evenings to drive generators. Not sure if th

This article is full of gold... "In fact, there’d been no conspiracy to take down the sites; they’d crashed because of a technical glitch with VanwaTech, a tiny company in Vancouver, Wash., that they rely on for various kinds of ne

That's awful behaviour! I've been researching NAS devices and until now, Synology has been on my preferred list. Reconsidering that position now - I've never heard of a company breaking something so significant with a minor v

Similar experience here, except most people who moved to Signal were tech-savvy, while all my family and closest friends have stuck with WhatsApp. Given Signal's recent changes in direction, I'm considering just giving up on it an

Great to see a dock properly integrated into the settings app. The first thing I do in Pop_OS is track down and install the dash to dock extension and fiddle with the settings until it's sitting on the right-hand side of my screen just

"Yes, the command line itself has ads for the store sprinkled throughout it." - this is a bit of a leap... Those helper scripts have been mostly applauded in the Python community for offering an easy way to get Python installed on

This is cool. As a side note - I recently found my old MiniDisc player in an old shoebox. Popped in a new AA battery, and it still worked perfectly! Some funny notes... I can't believe it lasts for ages on a single AA battery. And, I h

I don't understand why it's so important for them to open source their server-side code? Even with an open-source codebase, surely they could still be running something completely different on the server-side, and we'd be non

Not sure about Google, but Azure has it with some subscription types but not all. I have an Azure subscription that gets some free monthly credits. When I go over the limit on that subscription, everything freezes until I sort it out.

That doesn't appear to be his style. And even if he did update or amend old posts, there would still be archives and copies floating around that people could refer to if they felt the need. He has changed his views on some topics over

I agree 100% with the article, but I will just point out that the outrage ruins everyone's lives, not just the ones conducting the outrage. This is why it's difficult to ignore, even if (like me) you eliminate/reduce social
