Doesn't work for me on Firefox in Windows either. I've tried a number of things and it seems it just doesn't work on Firefox at all.

I can relate to this as something I never thought possible either, yet in a pretty short time (one hour a week for ~1yr) I've made progress that almost feels magical. I've studied piano as an adult for about 5-6 years (with some p

As someone who has looked extensively into this for marine use I think it’s highly unlikely this is Iridium. Standard Iridium is 2400 baud (no I did not leave out any zeros). Their new Certus service is much faster but the cost is $1600&#x2

How about we let the US government fund or negotiate a better price for health services instead of hoping that the free market will solve everything? Seems like everyone should have free access to something that has such great benefits to s

I wonder though, could they and still get approved by Apple? Apps have to have some level of minimum functionality to pass review. You can require a sign in but I wonder if you could require tracking.

I was inspired by the recent Forth-week on HN to dig up a minimal Forth that I created a while back. It is so minimal that it only runs one statically declared Forth program but that also makes it really easy to understand how little there

So I have an iPad Pro that has a degraded battery life after 4 years. Really, that's the only issue with it and we've determined that it's not software. It just lasts much, much less than it did a year ago. So I tried to get

I'd feel about the same as I would if anyone copied my apps and took away business from me - not happy. But if you're trying to point out that it is somehow unfair that Apple has a special position that they can do this and not pa

Yes, I am also using Firefox with uBlock Origin locked down - no 3rd-party scripts, 3rd-party no frames, etc... Local network also has a pi-hole. I should clarify that it was an overlay style popup - not an actual browser window popup.

FYI, I thought this was not possible either but if you bought it from Adobe you can log into your account, see your past purchases, and download the v6 installer. I just did this like a week ago when I realized I lost my v6 installer. But y

And not just that, now you have to have a way to put all that energy back into the batteries each day. This is hard to do from solar or wind alone if you need any sort of real-world range (20-30nm/day for instance). It may be Ok for a

I choose Apple devices because I believe Apple looks out for my interests. I say that as a consumer and a developer who publishes on the App Store as a business. I've seen the kind of nightmare that Android can be and no thanks. If thi

Equifax muddies the water here with “lock” vs “freeze” terminology on their web site. One costs money and one is free. The free is the mandated government version, which is a lock but I think they call it a freeze and can be done online. I’
