Depends on the distro, I guess. The last time I checked these buttons were not enabled by default on Fedora. Ubuntu probably has more sane defaults.

Yes, but then you realize you cannot make mouse back-forward buttons to work.

I think most people saw the annoying little flag in the notification area letting users to "reserve" the upgrade, so here's your reason: it won't go away until you do upgrade.

Strange, Samsung 840/850 evo/pro are considered [1][2] among the best consumer SSDs. The issues article mentions do not exist on Windows, the SSDs are very reliable there. I suspect it's not only Samsung fault. Are we sure Li

Why 'confusingly'? It's only natural to keep drive maintenance in one place. You don't ever need to invoke defrag/trim manually as they are scheduled to run whenever PC is not in use.

Ah, typical Linux article with an obligatory insult for Windows. Hope OP realizes Windows disables defrag for SSDs, and basically does everything described in the article without needing user intervention. Next, you don't have to over-

I don't think the problems of running a specific distro in a VM applies to general population at all ;) Only a small percentage of developers will ever face the issue, and googling a fix is faster than re-installing whole OS.

You could just add linux-kernel to ignored upates list, that would have solved VM tools breaking.

Why won't any browser's Incognito/InPrivate/Porn mode be enough? You need to prevent associating search queries with your logged in social accounts, Tor is kinda overkill for that.

Extensions have access to browser APIs not available to webpages and run on your every request. Thus they are inherently more dangerous. So installing unsigned extensions from questionable sources makes you clueless, yes. Vanilla js running

Not an option. Concrete examples: anything webgl, image editing, games, even a simple curl app from yesterdays post (curlbuilder.com). Implementing curl app server-side would require double work which is against principles of progressive en

Right, but these problems are not specific to javascript requests. Any request can fail, be blocked, interfered with, or partially received. Users can switch off CSS, too. Html page may not load completely. So what? Some of these issues are

Why do you even mention Windows 7? It was released in 2009, sure it's not designed to handle retina. Win8 introduced Metro apps, all work nice with any screen. Legacy software it up to developers to fix, it's not Microsoft's

Hmm, cool, Matias actually looks like a modern keyboard and with their own switches even. Okay, I guess it refutes some of my statements :)
