The most pressing question: why does Outlook.com just silently discard some emails?

Apple/Google Pay also implement the EMV standards, so at least in theory, it shouldn’t make a difference. In practice, I don’t know and I can’t check, unfortunately. It’s possible that they chose not to implement this particular tag. I

When the payment terminal asks the EMV chip on your payment card for tag no. 5F20, it will be told the Cardholder Name [1]. That, in connection with your PAN [2], is a pretty stable identifier. (Not if you are using prepaid cards, obviously

I'm very fond of Notepad2, but development ceased in 2012 and the fork that I'm using, Notepad2-mod [1], had its last release in 2017. I wonder how many buffer overflows are lurking in there. I just discovered Notepad3 [2], which

Seriously, uBlock Origin is the one "endpoint security" product that's actually useful. I install it on practically every machine I ever touch.

One of the attached screenshots made me deeply nostalgic because it reminded me of a time when GUI icons were both elegant and easy to comprehend and distinguish: https://bug213945.bmoattachments.org/attachment.cgi?id=30701.

You have to know HTML in order to know where things end. Otherwise, you will see nested paragraphs here: <p>Hello <p>World</p>!</p> when it’s actually two consecutive paragraphs, an exclamation mark

Doesn't the "L" of the "KLOTZ" neon sign also flicker at some point, strongly evoking the connotation "KOTZ" ("PUKE"), just as Evelyn Hamann feels slightly overwhelmed after tasting too many Klot

Windows Sandbox is really great, I just wish it could coexist with VirtualBox.

Actually, that's exactly what I did and the energy meter will gladly measure a 1W LED bulb. That's why I think consumption is <1W most of the time. At the end of the day, everything <5W or even <10W would be pretty great.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure I can use my fingerprint for Outlook.com login through Chrome on Windows 10.

Actually, I just put a used HP ProDesk 600 G3 Microtower (Pentium Gold G4560) into operation, and my energy meter shows 0.0W most of the time (which can't be true, but apparently it's something <1W) with Ubuntu + TLP installed

If it's FIDO2, then you don't actually expose biometrics to the site. The verification is done on device and unlocks a key saved in the TPM/secure enclave. Of course, once Face ID/Windows Hello logins on the web become a

But you might have to put "stty -ixon" inside your .bashrc (or does nano take care of this?).

While we're talking about Private Relay: with it enabled (on an iPhone), Google won't show me search suggestions. Both google.com and Safari's address/search bar are affected. It's a small feature, but a feature tha

What do you mean by ‘a provider like gmail’? Because Outlook.com arguably is a provider like Gmail and it accepts and then silently discards emails all the time. My experience with them is exactly the same as kilburn’s.

Indeed, I have wanted to switch away from Gmail for a long time, especially because of the stories of randomly terminated accounts, but the straw that broke the camel's back was that Gmail somehow managed to break the compose window: w

On the upside, Fastmail is the one e-mail service that I have tested that is actually more comfortable to use than Gmail. How they manage to incorporate practically every feature I could dream of while offering a totally neat, snappy, intui

I believe that both TeX (Knuth-Plass Line Breaking Algorithm) and InDesign (paragraph composer – expired US Patent 6,510,441) do this, so there is at least one open-source implementation that could be used as a starting point. Unfortunately

Note that em (current point size) and en (½ em) spaces are both wider than the regular space character (typically ¼ em). An espace fine insécable (narrow no-break space) is even smaller, usually as small as a Unicode thin space (⅕ or ⅙ em
