Thanks, I didn't know about mail-tester.com and similar tools. I am definitely not spamming people, and I had SPF, DKIM and reverse DNS set up, but I don't think I ever did the blocklists part. Something to keep in mind if my proj

Indeed, that works, thank you :) I had previously tried "vscode" and other variations, but it appears the executable name is the super-generic Code.exe. There's still the problem of VS Code opening when I wanted VS, but for t

I used to send emails from my own servers, with everything configured according to the best practices, as much as I could. This was for account management emails: things like verifying user accounts, resetting passwords, etc. It seems my em

Visual Studio Code has nothing to do with Visual Studio proper other than the name, the logo and the fact that both are Microsoft projects. It's a pretty good text editor, actually - it's my Go IDE, thanks to the vscode-go plugin.

I have read that in my country, one of the reasons why metro systems (and perhaps bus too), which for now are state-owned, are not more automated/driverless, is workers' union pressure for it not to happen. In fact one line was fu

Indeed DuckDuckGo's timer appears to be quite nice, I have it as my main search engine but didn't notice it had that. It's probably a recent addition. I agree that having to keep a browser tab open is not much of an issue, bu

Yeah, but I don't have Google mapped to a keyboard key, but even if I did, googling for "5 minute timer" (and similar variants, like "1 minute timer" or "30 seconds timer") yields the usual search results

You don't need to talk to use Cortana. I had Cortana disabled until the Anniversary Update came. If you don't agree to letting it see your emails/calendar/personal stuff, it will become a limited version of itself (in fa

As someone building a cross-platform battery monitor that depends on APIs like this being available, I think the best solution would be to treat battery status like the location information, where the user is asked on a case-by-case basis w

I bought a Surface Pro 3 to use OneNote, and I'm quite happy with it. I think the best part is that instead of having to carry both a laptop and notebooks or paper sheets for taking notes, now I just carry a light laptop. My back is mu

Cemetech user here, although I pretty much stopped going there, as I was more into Casio calculator stuff and nowadays there's not much development activity for these. I must say I envy the large community support for the TI calcs, esp

Depending on the model, Linux drivers do exist, even if they aren't all in mainline kernels yet. Just a week ago I booted [1] on my Surface Pro 3 from a pendisk (didn't even need to disable secure boot) and pretty much everything

Well, yes, it allows for that :) The main idea was just to build a hashify.me "clone" that didn't require JavaScript to be enabled in the browser. I knew this would be easy to code in Go and indeed it was: just a matter of pu

The problem, as always, lies in the fact this is powered by an AllWinner SoC. They are not famous for respecting the licenses of the software they use, namely the Linux kernel, and things like graphic acceleration are usually hard to get wo

You are ignoring the fact that it's not just mobile devices that take advantage of fast mobile data connections. Being able to bring a LTE hotspot on long out-of-home stays is pretty nice, and while you may not want to do big downloads

Paint and Wordpad are two of the "classic" utilities that stayed untouched in Windows 10 - even though Paint could benefit from some touchscreen-friendliness, for users with touch screens, that is. But Microsoft already has someth

The phone company doesn't place adverts on your calls, nor suggests products based on the subject of your calls, does it? Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc. all need to curate so that their platforms stay family-safe, in order to please a

I'm curious about future versions too. It's possible there will be no more, and Windows 10 is just a rolling release. If that is going to be the case, then you'll need to wait until people tell you that the updates up to that

I too find it to be a step up from Windows 8, but it broke some things related to tablet use, which Microsoft got right with 8. I did a similar personal review when 8 came out, and did not write about it, because while Metro was outrageous,

I don't find it very different from having the "Windows" brand shoved in my face with Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, Windows Internet Explorer (formerly) etc. or the "Microsoft" brand shoved in my face

I simply stated facts, I did not say WebRTC should be dropped or restricted because of IP address leaks. With that said, now let me express an opinion (not a fact): for every technological innovation there are downsides and upsides, and it&

Knowing the local area IP lets advertising companies and other "less liked" parties distinguish the devices behind your public IP, without having to use e.g. cookies. At the very least, it's another data source for helping wi
