The best use case of tmux for me is Azure Cloud Console, where there is no good way/cumbersome to open multiple sessions at once.

I'm glad they are still asking for permission to upgrade the firmware. I was successful at declining that for a year or so already.

Very sad to see this service go. I've never pirated since my subscription. I still have 100+ movies in the DVD queue which will likely never be streamed.

The best part of ADT is when the sales guy spends an hour face-to-face with you and you learn about 3-year commitment next day, from the installer guy, who (wisely) asks whether you are aware of 3-year commitment before wiring anything.

The obsession with monetization will put otherwise good system to grave. I used all Windows versions over all these years, but even my patience is wearing thin. Search, Bing, search, Bing! In every effing square inch of screen real estate t

Wow, this brings memories... When I was a kid in ex-USSR, I've spent enormous amount of time gluing together things resembling PCs and some of the house AV equipment! Very crude, not alike the ones on these pictures, mind you. My dad h

I'm not implying anything. My issue with TFA is the "absolutely no prior user permission or intervention" claim. My counter-argument is that clicking without reading through the EULA and/or the out-of-the-box experience

Then buy another OS/laptop? It's not like there're no other options.

They definitely should. But also they should NOT make misleading claims like "absolutely no prior user permission or intervention". Look, it's not that $1T company needs my defense, but it's a rather safe bet that CYA ex

There're other laptop/OS manufacturers that may serve needs of privacy-conscious folks better than Windows laptop. Whether one likes it or not, there's no constitutional right to use this specific laptop/OS combination.

Thank you, I edited in (dark chrome) for clarity. "Chrome" here refers to windows and widgets surrounding content, not the browser specifically.

by jimbobimbo 4y ago
To me, the biggest issue with dark mode is that it doesn't differentiate between chrome and content. Dark chrome helps light content pop, reduces distractions. Unfortunately, the moment one turns it (dark chrome) on, the content goes d
