The problem isn't just HTTPS, it's the ever-expanding array of various APIs and technologies that "must" be implemented to be a "real" or "complete" browser. Even Firefox, that's been around for

Perhaps you should get some better laws in your country to prevent this, instead of ruining the web for the rest of the world?

It's part of the culture of making everything web terribly complicated, which has resulted in the death of all but three web browsers. It's now practically impossible to write a new web browser from scratch, unless you're a m

It's obvious I need to spend more time researching Gemini and similar things. The "web" is going to be a true monoculture very, very soon.

What about photos? It's been a few years, but last time I checked laser printers were still way behind ink in terms of photo quality.

Upgrades should already be possible, using bundles and the Complete My Bundle functionality. It's not terribly user-friendly perhaps, but should (in theory) work. A bit more expanded at http://www.eiman.tv/blog/pos

I recently found out that to enable screen time features in Win 10, each of my kids need their own Microsoft account. A tad bit annoying, imho.

There are also a couple more levels in a physical supply chain, each adding their own percentage: manufacturer, distributor, probably a few more I don't know about.

It's likely they add 30% to what they pay their supplier. At least that's what it was like 15-20 years ago when I worked in a games store, for PC and vide games. Board games have better margins.

This is the only reasonable solution. I've got an OLED LG "TV", connected to an Apple TV and a receiver for proper audio (using HDMI ARC). To turn everything on, I press a button on the Apple TV remote and everything is up an

I can no longer configure "my machine" to use DNS a specific way; I have to configure my system plus a number of specific applications to use DNS the way I want. Splitting this configuration into multiple places is bad. In an ente
