It's actually the extension injecting itself into the webpage, often to interact with it. (I imagine much of this is just looking for global ExtensionName objects.)

What everyone is missing is any org who pays Ubuntu or RedHat for support is going to buy officially supported hardware from Lenovo, Dell, Framework or etc. Asahi is a cool project, but there's zero money in it.

Questioning this, because I worked with a sysadmin who was in an @Home/CableLabs DOCSIS beta region at about that same time, and we all envied him of course. That was in San Jose, CA. So what's the real story behind your piddlly l

I have a vague recollection that HN also doesn't use a database, it serializes the data structures or something.

Reminds me when I had the high-end 2016 fruittruck with the sticky keyboard. All sorts of bizarre shit happens when you can't type your password.

Yeah, there were a bunch of floppy games which only ran on an original Mac or maybe a Plus. No go with even my Mac SE.

What a ridiculous statement from an obviously over-privleged phony. You are actually doubling-down on being completely isolated. Kids face a lot of new problems these days. They also face some old one, like sorting their legos.

Successfully would be big business, because everyone and everyone and the F1000 uses git. Or at least it could more of a feature than a product, and gets merged into some other VC company, or some Jira feature or etc. Who really wants cheap

Looks like it, but isn't this site famous for being a "classic" storefront? Some CMSs would auto-generate sprites. If you are showing most of them, it's still a positive, I'd assume. And, if it ain't broke, don

OS/2 had a similar bug, and people used that as a server, so I'm sure it bit some people.

With the classic OS, all the windows were supposed to work this way. And it seems most apps still do remember their window positions, making it easy to find them. (Expose even keeps the positions consistent when you 'zoom-out'.)

by flomo 6mo ago
Right, Macs always have had the premise of "spacial window management" (or that's what Siracusa called it), so that's probably how you are 'supposed to' do it. Full Screen Mode was their answer to maximize, goi

VB could bang on any Win32 C API, so there's no reason to disbelieve this. In the modern sense it's like saying you couldn't write this in Go. Direct question: do you know what you are talking about, or are you just spewing k

Good for you. Good for the guy who sold disks at the flea market too. DVDs/BRs/etc were always a scam imo, unless it your favorite movie that you will watch repeatedly forever. For most people buying DVDs was just expensive PPV. A

If "they" is Google, this is just a really pointless middleman proposal. Android does all the cert stuff. Also Chrome trusts like 300 CAs. Does that work? Probably not if you live in 200 of those countries.

Yeah, I predict that "developer mode" will eventually be a setup option in the trust store, so you'd have reset the phone to get to it. With billions of Android users, there's only millions of people who need or really w

Keep in mind that Android has like a billion users who have never touched a Windows computer. (And unmanaged Windows was/is also a disaster zone.) Coming at this from a internet forum perspective is missing the scope of the problem. &g
