Isn't it obvious? Since Firefox 69 or so, loading of userChrome.css and userContent.css is turned off by default, and must be explicitly enabled in about:config. Which is where features go to die.

The UI is different in other ways as well. One of the replies mentioned a setting to turn off hiding toolbars when you scroll. But I can't find it on iOS. In and of itself, I don't find it strange that the UI is different between

Interesting, Firefox on iOS doesn't seem to have this "scroll to hide toolbar" feature.

This annoys me as well, but I checked on iOS and Safari is much the same. It seems that mobile browser makers prioritize screen real estate above access to the user interface.

I have this regularly. My catch all gets emails from a bot that tries common first names at my domain, but sometimes really weird ones as well, seemingly random such as a23ssaaaa@example.com

Or: look-but-failed-to-see-errors, which are an "interesting" cause of accidents. When I took my motorcycle driver's test, my driving instructor sometimes warned me that I needed to make movements in a particular way. He clai

It has a bit more range as my Renault Zoe. Which is now 4 years old. It feels to me that this Lexus is nothing more than a compliance car.

Except the problem is that you can't really back up Google documents. The file format is closed. You can, of course, periodically export them into common document formats. But you can't restore the same Google document and expect

I did this. But after the learning phase, it wasn't more satisfying. Turns out it's the learning process itself, that makes the work joyful for me.

I get why you like the freedom to take longer road trips without meticulous planning, however when I look at how I use my EV (Renault Zoe), it's not that bad. Basically for normal daily usage, you don't really care because the ran

You're also making assumptions, though. Here in The Netherlands, most big cities really appreciate electric cars. Thus, in streets where the demand is big, they add additional charging stations. It's not like charging needs a gara

Just curious, what's the kWh price for this? Here in The Netherlands, we get charged about 0.33 euro per kWh (= 0.40 US$), and that's for overnight charging of cars, where you typically draw no more than 11 kW.

Even if you think it's important, it's not equally important for all names. In this case I dare say that this project is going to be typed about more, rather than talked about.

I never thought about that. But really, why do you think so? Have you ever heard people comment on other people's email addresses?

Incredibly expensive compared to what? These are specialized tools, and the cost of organizing the engineering of these tools is easily running into the millions. These costs need to be recouped.

You write as though the AWS lawyers' advice is binding. However the article starts with a trademark violation and apparently in that case, the AWS lawyers didn't have the upper hand internally.

I'm not sure if I'm following you. Who exactly has the idea to live without hurting some other living being?

Fascinating story, especially because the writer has real experience. The bit about how she felt about this loss was poignant to me.

Indeed, it's a cushion that gives incredible peace of mind. Not only job-related, but also gives the option to deal with all sorts of other life-related problems.

OK yeah, you're right about that. Some thing that _will_ be easier though, is your laptop. When you get a new one, get one that charges over USB-C. That option was obviously never available with micro-USB.

This. And I'm guessing there's a reason why Anker hasn't made such a move.

> because I'm going to have to replace everything You mean, you'll have to replace the cables. Not the devices themselves, unless you want to be able to use USB-C-to-C cables everywhere.

by bartvk 6y ago
Yup, it's a shame that there aren't any USB-C type fit drives. Obviously it's a question of space. But I love it how the USB-A connector is basically now able to house an entire flash drive.

I still use it for our family photos (150 gigs). The par2 files cost about 5% additional storage, which I don't mind. My backups are online, on external SSDs and harddrives. I've had unexplainable corrupted photos before and I wis

Since you have a new account, I'm just pointing out that shallow dismissals are mentioned in the guidelines (link at the bottom of each page).

I have the feeling that it's not going to be on the charging cable. Benson Leung often comments that extensions and modifications to USB-C cables are not compliant with the USB-C standard, which Apple helped write. What I could imagine

I also like to see Swift outside iOS. It was an interesting contest though, which came down to personal preference: "in the end only Rust and Swift were serious contenders. I finally chose Swift because of readability"
