Lots of comments on here about turning off the lid close behavior but, last time I tried that on Windows, a long time ago, because I was using vnc from my main desktop, the thing ran horribly slow because it did some other "power savin

Does anyone still use eBay? They've sucked every last penny out of any sales that make it worth the effort. When they started charging different rates for different types of items, I stopped using them completely. Middle-men don't

No company will ever do that. Even if they did, no one on the planet should expect it to play out as described. The whole anti-DRM position is based on the fact promises aren't worth a damn thing.

I'm actually quite baffled they even still have RSS. I use it, but I expect it to quietly die at some point. I wonder if they keep it around because, without it, someone would be make and even less efficient means of getting at the inf

Don't want it. Tracker/Ad blocking should forever be an extension, maintained by someone with zero obligation to, or association with, the ad/tracking industry. A USER agent.
