Your font rendering remark stands out as a odd remark. I use Firefox as a daily driver across my own PC (Windows), my work laptop (Mac) and on my phone (Android). Font rendering looks fine across all three platforms. Perhaps it seems better

Interestingly, when we had lockdown in my country I tried using Google Meets in Chrome and it just shat itself. Switched to Firefox and Meets worked so much better in Firefox. Very strange...

I only have 8GB, and its also instant for me. Performance is generally very good across the board. Only trouble I have is with certain Google properties... I do wonder why...!

These aircraft are always owned by a specific airline and not the alliance itself. Just look closer, you'll see the airline's branding somewhere on the aircraft. The alliance branding is just meant to promote the alliance. These a

Yep. I've booked several flights originally scheduled to be operated by a 737-300 or a 737-400 and had it swapped out for the other on the day (as the airline operated a mixed fleet with both types regularly swapped around to better ma

Not Europe, but here in NZ I find most Apple owners use iMessenger. Android owners seem to prefer WhatsApp. However I'm finding more and more people using Facebook Messenger. As an Android owner I only really SMS with my husband's

SMS is very reliable here in New Zealand, even more so than any IP-based systems. I've had SMS get through easily in one-signal-bar situations where IP data was nearly inoperable (especially if I happened to be attached to a 2G GPRS ce

I have worked both part-time and full-time and honestly I prefer working full time as it feels less stressful. When I am working part-time I have to coordinate heaps more with other staff if they are taking over my role during the times I a

Second the recommendation to stay on Mojave. I do this for my $WORK laptop and it still gets back-ported security updates. $WORK's IT department has advised Apple users to hold off upgrading to 10.15 and it seems they have good reason

Consuming a lot of power could be a show stopper for organisations where lots of staff are on older equipment? Zoom works flawlessly even on older hardware.

Teams has video conferencing? Wow never knew this and I use Teams often for $WORKPLACE. I find it a bloated mess with little things that don't work very well e.g. opening Word documents opens in a weird HTML editor which stuffs up the

Would you suggest organisational video conference meetings of e.g. 25-100 people over Messenger...? There is a niche Zoom is occupying very well.

Does it have the advanced features present in Zoom? At my $WORKPLACE we use the Spotlight feature so to ensure everyone is watching the right person (fairly important as we have lots of Deaf people and they all need to be watching the perso

As someone who prefers BSD, I feel right at home on the macOS command line. Although it has slowly been moving towards Linux, e.g. macOS now defaults to bash for the shell.

They have POPs in parts of the world DO doesn't have. E.g. they have a Sydney POP which attracts customers from Australia and New Zealand. Location was pretty much the main reason why I chose Vultr over DO as I found everything else wa

by kiwijamo 7y ago
Vultr has a POP in Sydney and seem to manage just fine, offering plans similar to DO. I like DO but as I'm based in New Zealand, it's a no brainer to go with Vultr due to their Sydney POP.

Did a DDG search and there are no ads. Just the Wikipedia infobox and a list of insurance companies in my country (and the Wikipedia article for Insurance at #3). It makes a very good starting point for someone wanting to get quotes from a

I find the Bitwarden extension is very good. The advantage of using an independent password store is that you can use it on other platforms. For example, Bitwarden provides iOS integration which provides autofill in both Safari and even wit

I recommend FastMail if you're willing to pay for your email services. They have an excellent import tool to help with migrating your email from Gmail.

67% for right time (i.e. <1min late) arrival seems to be pretty average. I’d be more interested in the % of arrival at destination within 5mins as that’s the standard used in many countries and thus easier to compare different systems.
