I've been using the Neutron media player app for years now. It allows you to play most file formats (including opus), supports navigation by files, and allows you to upload files via FTP to bypass iTunes. It's also one of those ra

That is known as Selective Availability and according to the US Government there is no intention of enabling it again [1]. New GPS satellites are apparently being built without the Selective Availability capability [2]. [1] https:/&#x

The other nice thing is that it appears it might be possible to change the batteries in the WF-1000XM3. ( https://hifigo.com/blogs/tws/deep-dive-teardown-of-true-wire... )

Programs such as Inkscape put a lot of extra information into SVG files that is not actually needed for them to render. File size reductions with SVG minifiers can be significant. For instance, the applications-internet.svg icon goes from 3

When I first saw this I assumed it would be some locally-processed feature of Firefox that could give you some statistics about your browsing history. That actually would be interesting to look at, and it shouldn't require any violatio

A large number of these can be blocked by enabling the annoyance-blocking lists in uBlock Origin.

For anyone on Windows stuck doing this, I've had decent luck with the Snappy Driver Installer. ( https://sdi-tool.org/ ) The project is open source, can store a complete collection of all drivers offline, and can detect

I've been pretty happy with it. I migrated my website to use it and I'm also using it for a new project. I've found that I'm significantly more productive with it than when using React or Angular, since there is two-way

I've never liked how much Crossover costs to stay on the latest version. I only pay for an upgrade when if it breaks. (You can use the last version you payed for indefinitely.) They also will occasionally have discounts. Prior to havin

Im my case, I use Crossover and a VM. They work well for my use cases. > Word/Excel documents I run Office 2010 in Crossover, which works very well. (I have a copy of 2016 as well, but it is slower.) You can also try WPS office, whi

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is some users might consider subscribing to a more expensive (like $20-$70/mo) streaming service if it has content-sharing deals and a promise of no ads or availability windows. There is defini

This makes me more interested in using Plex for podcasts instead. It doesn’t have some of the bells and whistles such as silence removal, but it has a web app and works on mobile.

There are also lower latency bluetooth codecs. I use LDAC with my headphones on my computer, and I don't usually notice any latency.

Most of these opt-outs are nearly useless because they require so much effort. (And of course this is by design.) I personally prefer just using uBlock Origin and a DNS black hole. It's less effort, and it's more likely to prevent

Interestingly enough, Plex is running something very similar to this to support SSL for all of their users. a-b-c-d.guid.plex.direct will resolve to a.b.c.d. (Where guid is replaced with a guid, without dashes.)

From what I've heard it's getting to be difficult to find a model that can be exploited with the bootloader exploit. Given that Nintendo also bans units that have been detected playing pirated games, buying one used seems like a r

I've found that the 2to3 script will do this. The real pain is finding everything that now has to be bytes instead of string.

I'm not sure how well this will actually work against a determined attacker. The browser challenge takes less time and money to automate than the already existing captcha solving services that use actual humans to enter the captchas. A

Most modern websites end up allocating an absurd amount of RAM. Although there are certainly some that are more lightweight. I have found that Firefox uses less RAM than Chrome for my workloads. That being said, if you have limited RAM, the

Usually this is done by sending an nonce that must be sent back with the request to delete the account. The attacking site won't have the nonce, so it cannot delete the account. Currently, you can also get a similar protection by requi

In my experience, it is easier to automate a workflow using command line applications. The GUI versions of tools have to try and predict every possible workflow, while terminal applications can be easily combined in scripts. That being said

This is one of the more frustrating limitations of the iOS mobile browser I’ve had to deal with. You can work around it by live streaming the music to the client, and handling track playback on the backend. Music Player Daemon is a good pac

I picked this up as well after seeing it here a few days ago. I rewrote part of my site to use it from React, and I really like what they've done with the component authoring experience.

I wrote a script a while ago that automatically creates a subdomain on a domain I own and registers a Let’s Encrypt certificate for this exact purpose. I’ve found it very useful as it will work even for local addresses and dynamic addresses
