This reads like a comment from Slashdot, circa '97. If you have a "toxic" relationship with inept/malicious application software, break ties with it now just as you should from Microsoft. Even under your rare worst-case

Hmm, I don't agree, with terminals post 2000 or so. My GUI text editor is currently showing about 8 tabs out of a dozen, with ◂ ▸ at the ends. This is comparable to the number of cells in my terminal now, ~100, i.e.: ◂│doc_one.t

Agreed on your first paragraph. I use Mate which allows me to sidestep ~80% of gnome's abuse, however some still leaks in through GTK, I think. Re the second, I haven't built an app from source since about 2005? or so.

Poor security design. App installers should definitely be sandboxed, "sip" or not. Preventing the local admin from making any changes due to lack of that, is fixing the wrong problem. Or perhaps not in a granular enough way.

Yes, the side facing Asia, rather than the side facing America. AKA the round side, not the peninsula side.

We downloaded the 95 betas from the internet to test them before rolling them out.

Also reminded of the Norton DOS tools, which were interesting in themselves.

This is usually handled by tabs today... not sure that has been ported back to libs like turbo vision yet. I don't think so.

Also influenced by the original Mac UI, which influenced Motif, which influenced later toolkits. It was a great time for standard interfaces, which has gotten worse since, imho.

This looks awesome, but not packaged yet? For a decade or two I waited for a good CUA editor on Unix. One that took advantage of 1990s PC hardware. Like DOS Edit, but better. Built my own striped-down SET/RHIDE editor in the early 2

Unfortunately EV stations make a point to know their customer, extensively. Is it even possible to pay cash and not have your car identified by the charger in a significant number of stations?

Could probably afford one with a 18 year installment plan. ;-) Also, hand-me-downs.

They don't monitor your everyday traffic, so it is a huge number of additional data points for profiling. Everything in those documentaries were considered conspiracy… until they were proven correct. To anyone that is reading, I also

Right, I mean a "giant expandable box" never goes out of style on some level. But it simply no longer needs to be quite that big now that cooling requirements are a fraction of what they used to be. Maybe they'll take it do

I don't think the requirements of working, fit for purpose hardware, updated semi-annually is significant burden for a technology company, post 2010. In fact it is about the minimum I'd ask for. They did make this bar with iphon

From a user standpoint, information should be given out on a need-to-know basis. We're in a post-storage-scarcity world, after 2005 or so. Data is collected for everything and no longer deleted if it has any value. The fact that orga

It may be time for a book, but it has been changing so rapidly I'd not want a hardcopy yet.

"No one goes there anymore, it's too crowded." Silly, Python was always second-best at everything and promoted as a prototyping language from the beginning. But that's more powerful than you've given credit for. Y

No, they don't have info about me, at least that part. That's the point. I don't need to switch between accounts, but screens, my client work is on a separate laptop. Try navigating even hundreds of objects on a mobile devic

This doesn't quite address my statement. The problem was you couldn't buy a high end MBP without touchbar and defective keyboard, or a non-obsolete Mac Pro for years, at any price. Yes, use a PC was an answer to that for a lot

It's interesting now that they've solved the "thermal issues" of the traschcan shape via ARM XPUs, they gave up on it already. Not that I care strongly about the particular design, but I find Apple's frequent flip-

No, I have thousands on my desktop, and none on my movie tablet and prefer it to stay that way. Not to mention I use safari on the iphone. I don't want work or personal mixed either. Even if did want some of these, companies are not t

I tend to agree, although this is moving the goalposts from the original statement.

Most kids and some adults aren't interested in old stuff. Not until they get older.
