Looks like grid view of open tabs[1] will also be available on Android. It's good to see the Android version improving together with the desktop version, since it's pretty much the only mainstream Android browser to support exten

I found it to be my USB mouse. I'd already disabled the option to wake the PC in the mouse device, but then found out that you also have to do that with a separate "keyboard" device[1]. But ever since disabling the option o

Looks interesting, but seems to be based on electron. I use avidemux[1] for lossless video/audio editing, works really well. [1] http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/

Sounds interesting, but the video doesn't seem to be available anymore. I'd be interested if anyone has a working link!

Is it even possible to access about:config on Android? In the new Daylight Firefox, I just get an error page. There are a whole lot of other options I'd like to set...

Yes, there is, but it requires you to scan a code with your mobile phone before you can use it!

Snapdrop[1] works quite well if you're on the same network. It's cross platform, you only need a reasonably recent web browser. [1] https://snapdrop.net/

The author talks about "top notch Microsoft Office compatibility", including formatting. However, something relatively simple, such as "Center Accross Selection" cell formatting in Excel does not display correctly in On

It killed my Android tablet running Firefox! First everything slowed down, then the status bar disappeared, then... black screen. Had to restart.

Yes, this is a good option for some. However, the ZOOM web client lacks quite a few features, including viewing the video of more than one participant at a time. I believe it's also not possible to share audio. So if you need to do a

Looks pretty good, but it also seems to have stagnated. Latest commit was in January 2019. It would be nice to have a shorter URL for rooms, so it's easier to share with others.

Sounds very related to the situation with "left-behind children" in China[1] (留守儿童), where parents leave their children with their extended family so they can work in larger cities. This has already caused massive social problems

The major problem in China is that Duo doesn't work at all, where as FaceTime works quite reliably.

Many laptop manufacturers seem to be doing this already. For ASUS laptops, there is a Windows store app that lets you control the setting: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NKCLN5X4RR9

I would very much like to use Duo, but that's not available in China. Whereas Facetime works very well in and out of China.

Not sure if "to bisect" and "to draw and quarter" are so similar here. I mean, if you say that someone is bisected, or drawn and quartered, the meaning is pretty much that he's dead!

Windows now has "Nearby Sharing"[1], which should at least solve this problem between Windows computers. I think the idea was that it would eventually also be available on Android, but I haven't yet seen an implementation of

So does anyone know what devices would typically use the Realtek wifi chips? Mobile phones? Tablets? Routers? I'm less worries about PC's, as driver updates are less of an issue there.
