   How come your Windows use case didn't require Zadig? I couldn't get any USB device to work via WebUSB without it.

   What I can say is that the Android app performance is horrible compared to what it was 5 years ago. When I bought my OnePlus3 it was amazingly fast — basically instant, now it takes up to 20 seconds for it to become responsive. Clicking on

   Same here. Which is extremely weird because the house numbers can be CLEARLY seen in the street view!

   I have to say that the guy raised a huge red flag for me already in the first paragraph: "I hit the gym, pursued the most interesting and important ideas I could find, and started looking for a wife." Ho boy, I'm getting some

   It's much bigger than you think. If I'm building an electron app, it's because I need native code running in nodejs/V8 as native addons, often in the render process, or I'm using bleeding edge APIs not available on

   I've made a custom search in Chrome with the "r" hotkey, that searches Reddit in the past year. Sites are also starting to just fake the dates so I'm getting really old results on regular. This takes care of both: ht

   I've tried searching for some technical details on some of my car's components. No matter what search query I used, the first few PAGES of search results were links to non-original parts on ebay, amazon, aliexpress etc. To get the

   I don't get what's so bad about an orange dot in the menu bar? Hopefully they are running the presentation in fullscreen mode anyway?

    I'll probably switch to a system-wide adblocker like Adguard. It's already a life-saver on Android.

    Neither the macOS swift app, nor Unigram on Windows does this in my experience.

    One thing I can't stand is that it's the only messaging app out there without a presence monitor. As soon as I receive a message all of my clients will start pinging. It's the reason why I avoid it. I talk to someone on the d

    Feels like this is kinda doing some of the same thing as first-class React primitives like suspense and server components.

    How can this be integrated with react-query and react-location? Seems that it's tightly coupled to their variants (SWR and react-router). React Query is IMO a must-have on any project that already warrants using React (and that isn&#x2

    That's why I try not playing competitive video games anymore. Matchmaking is set up so that you have a 50/50 win/loss rate. When you take into consideration all the outcomes you mentioned, maybe 1/20 games was fulfilling

    Doesn't have to be. Doing canvas work in a web worker in Chrome caused the kernel_task to skyrocket. It's fine in the main thread: https://video-canvas-worker-4k.netlify.app/

    So WASM seems to be in a good place when it comes to code portability and performance, and now WebGPU does as well. It's great to see how the web is giving back to the native platforms.

    How is the integration with things like a dev server and tools present in create-react-app like react-fast-refresh? Also, in case of working on an Electron project: How well does it handle main/render/preload compile targets and h

    It's the same thing with most tech these days. Just try thinking of examples for voice assistants or any new tech. Most of it has this weird "Friends" but with a "rich millenial from SF" flavor marketing to it. Ever

    An important thing, as far as I'm aware of, is that if you have a Gsync monitor, you want vsync enabled, but you don't want your GPU to max-out usage-wise or reach the max refresh rate of your monitor: https://www.youtu

    Wonder if they'll support timely major Android version updates for 5+ years like Apple does.
