This website has those features disabled in Chrome or Brave. Apparently the Zoom option will only appear for "sites that support this feature". This is because they set this header in the meta tags: user-scalable=0

I assumed it did something like that, but I honestly don't even know what it actually does, because the moment it gets loaded or anything like that the phone locks up and has to be manually reset using an obscure power button combinati

What do you think the standard is for standardization?

by ddtaylor 7mo ago
I disagree. Modern C with C17 and C23 make this less of an issue. Sure, some vendors suck and some people take shortcuts with embedded systems, but the standard is there and adopted by GCC, Clang and even MSVC has shaped up a bit.

C allows most of this, whereas C++ doesn't allow pointer aliasing without a compiler flag, tricks and problems. I agree you can certainly just use bytes of the correct sizes, but often to get the coverage you need for the data structur

I look forward to seeing more abusive tactics by the US government powered by AI and the language OpenAI will use to confuse the public into thinking they aren't responsible.

The PR strategy described here is often referred to as "The Overton Window Shift" or "Strategic Iteration." Essentially, OpenAI (or any entity using this tactic) enters a negotiation or public debate by asserting a posit

It helps when you have a video posted on social media the day you cancelled and a video of talking to a clueless AI customer retention system that seems to not agree or understand how time works. Also, chargeback dispute is limited to 3 rou

You are incorrect. Chase uses a "provisional credit" system, but for small amounts, this credit often becomes permanent almost instantly. Wells Fargo utilizes an automated system called the Wells Fargo Dispute Manager which is als

Story time! I actually cancelled my ChatGPT subscription in late 2024 and documented the process, kind of as a social media thing because it had gotten so bad and I realized nobody in my family was using it anymore. I asked my wife if she w

PR spin/lying while behind closed doors agreeing to it. What's hard to understand about OpenAI lying? Altman publicly claimed he had no financial stake in OpenAI to emphasize his mission-driven focus. In 2024 it was revealed that

These are fairly common problems for newer apps in Android which has been changing quite a bit in the recent years. There are multiple ways to do "safe area" viewport stuff. It's reasonable to make these kinds of mistakes.
