Celts were on the Isle of Man long before the Vikings, but I'm just nit-picking. I agree that the history of Vikings is way more fascinating and complicated than what's typically paraded about. Shoutouts to Tore Hund!

Any examples? Would love to try some.

… which is also why the cookie banner scourge shows how nefarious companies are these days. They don't need identifiable information for their analytics, they're just all super greedy.

I don't understand this viewpoint, but I've seen it a lot so you're definitely not alone. A large part of what's useful about SASS are the mixins and functions, not just nesting - do you just not use those?

Very cool, I wish I could do this sort of thing.

Are those fake chargers/cases compatible with the genuine earbuds? I'd have no qualms about getting some of those if so.

I did try browsing around and changing the themes before making that comment, but the only theme for me was pain.

Interesting at a core, but I'm too fickle to browse a site that looks like it was made to intentionally be a painful viewing experience.

Yeah, I'd buy their megadora ones ideally, £25+ per screwdriver is too expensive imo.

Cheers for the recommendation. Doesn't seem to be JIS though? It can be hard to tell and I'm no expert at all, but they seem to be normal Philips.

This is the issue for me.

Been looking for JIS screwdrivers which don't cost a fortune here in Europe, not had much luck. Don't quite need it before a few months from now but it's still frustrating!

Oh dear. Better that it's official than just swimming in ambiguity sea though I guess.

Struggling to put much weight on an article that can't get the name of the company right, despite it being plastered in massive letters on the side of the ships in the pictures. Lithium batteries are scary when they're damaged tho

Good observation! Hope this wasn't an attempted, and failed, grammar 'correction'?

Pretty cool. Struggled with some expression related things, but I'm sure it'll improve rapidly. Will give it a proper go when/if they release a browser add-on.

I really struggled with moving to macOS for work, but a couple of utilities helped a lot: AltTab - Windows style tabbing between windows, including thumbnails and tiles for each open window of an application[1]. brew install --cask al

Things like this being opt-out make my skin crawl.

Thanks. Looks like the title on HN was changed to something which misses the entire point of the post.

It's more than just that it's opt-out - It's that the setting is even named 'opt in', while not being opt in at all.

Forgive my ignorance as I've never set up anything like this, but how do you then deal with the potential for extremely long passwords? Can that be detrimental on the back end?

This is would be entertaining if it weren't simultaneously depressing.
