I also share this opinion. I think we are in a local maximum with tabs. But getting out of it request a lot of coordination between browsers and each desktop environment so it is unlikely to ever happen. Maybe less portable browsers like GN

Well that bothers the linguist in me, typically only relevant information is included when contrasting two items. So while in general you can't assume the negation of the implication, in conversation it is generally expected that if I

I think public matchmaking and local play are different. I can mostly get behind anti-cheat for public play. But for local and optionally for friend games it should be possible to extract, edit and play with your saves.

A nice feature of Chromecast is that the device was really just a remote control. After starting a show it would continue even if your phone caught fire. This is obviously great for battery life but also means that multiple people can contr

If you want to get very paranoid most instructions probably use slightly different amounts of power for different operands which will change thermal output which will affect CPU throttling. I'm not sure there are any true constant time

Trademarks protect against confusing consumers. I don't think any reasonable person looked at this website and thought CrowdStrike launched a rebranding or was in any way involved.

It lets you opt-out per domain. But it doesn't let you have it off by default and opt-in per domain.

Because if I'm sitting at my computer working and realize that I want a file from my phone it is much easier to just open Windows Explorer than 1. Find my phone 2. Maybe need to find a cable 3. Plug in phone and cable.

A JVM with a moving GC can have wildly difference performance characteristics than C. A moving collector can use a bump allocator which can result in these independently allocated chain nodes ending up adjacent in memory which will mitigate

I used to feel similar. But then I realized that my browser's password manager also can't get hacked (or if it does they have full browser access anyways) and it is actually easier to sign in with a pre-filled username and passwor

Yeah, BTRFS is really not good for any sort of redundancy, not even very good for multi-disk in general. 1. The scheduler doesn't really exist. IIRC it is PID % num disks. 2. The default balancing policy is super basic. (IIRC always wr

That is sort of true. Definitely over something like Ubuntu with fixed cycles and often unreliable version upgrades. But I think NixOS is never re-installing on the next level. But after about 5 years I would start having problems on my Arc

This seems to work for me on Firefox on macOS. Haven't seen any issues and don't know why Firefox on any other OS would be different.

Maybe Windows Defender should also not have the ability to crash the kernel. Instead Microsoft can provider proper hooks to pluggable drivers that can be used by both themselves and third party AV.

They aren't over windows. They continue to be incredibly interested in and actively developing how much money they can suck from their users. Especially via various forms of ads. But yeah, kernel features are few and far between.

Yeah. But if you can afford to store a certificate of that size you can afford to store the password. Also worth noting that for most types of certificate (like RSA where 2048 bit keys are common) there is much less than 2048 bits of entrop

I really don't understand why people want to tie their messaging to their mobile service provider. This seems best as two jobs for two companies. Then I can switch either at will. 1. Mobile internet access. 2. Messaging.

If you want to use Firefox sync IIUC you can define a new pref services.sync.prefs.sync.dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled. However this has always been flakey in the past for me. (I think maybe the sync prefs themselves don't

And of course this setting doesn't sync to new devices by default. So you need to remember to opt-out on every device. The underlying pref is dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled. I'm going to force this off in my policies.
