I wonder if there's a large overlap of people using Firefox on Android and people blocking StatCounter. I thought I'd look up Mozilla's public telemetry stats to see if they have any addon info, but I couldn't find anyth

I thought Firefox on Android already did something similar to embedding, via GeckoView? The issue with embedding seemed to be that Mozilla really hated having complaints that their APIs were very unstable and kept breaking. In contrast, the

Thanks! So it sounds like it may work, but it's very unclear it'll keep working. (Also I happened to be more personally interested in the APs rather than switches, and it's unclear if that also has a local management mode.) I

Hmm, that looks like it must be centrally managed from the internet? Not saying it's not an appropriate replacement for Ubiquiti, but that seems like an opportunity for the same issues to show up… something that isn't remotely man

My understanding is that the full test suite is actually proprietary and it's part of how sqlite is funded — the maintainers can provide better claims. There is a public test suite but it's a subset of what they do. https:/&

The Ars article mentions people losing things in Sheets where they didn't have a Windows client at all, though. Of course, we have inadequate intimation to determine if it's the same issue.

It's more likely to be the name of the QA person that checked it. Writing a literal "OK" is so much easier if they just wanted it mark it as good otherwise.

GitHub Actions seems to use Azure a lot under the hood; given that they seemed to use AWS for older features (attachments, releases, etc.) it seems likely that it actually needed Microsoft. My best guess, with no knowledge of what actually

It's not even that great, typescript doesn't even have a good reference. There are random features that are only documented on release notes. Working with TS has been somewhat frustrating.

I suspect what will actually happen is that they'll take your money, but once you need the coverage _then_ they will suddenly realize that you're predisposed to that and refuse to hand out the money. That is, they will take the be

Sorry, I should be clearer: to login to Google on a new device, you typically need to accept a prompt on an old device. But if your old device is dead, that's not possible. Authenticator does TOTP and things, which is typically not ad

My fear is that your phone is also the primary MFA device, so losing that could mean you can't log into your account anymore (and therefore can't restore the cloud backup)…

Only one Chrome user successfully reached a developer in a position to do something about it. Who knows how many encountered it but didn't notice, and how many more noticed it but couldn't find a way to file a bug that would get n

Who's name is on the patent lawsuit doesn't need to be related to who's funding the patent lawsuit. Being able to pay for somebody else's lawsuit and get a share of the profits is occasionally (but not always) useful; th

FWIW, you can disable that in settings (both the power button thing, as well as the auto-dial if you prefer to get to that page via buttons). At least, if the 8T is similar to other phones.

Unfortunately Mozilla seems too afraid of giving up control. As far as I know, up to the point Persona went away the official deployment instructions were still "don't host your own copy, use Mozilla's, because it might chang

For VMs, I find RDP to be on par with SPICE (which is more of a qemu/libvirt thing). Both have support for device/drive mapping, I believe. That's both over ssh sessions (I know RDP has encryption, but I'd rather not tru

It's not their app, but you might be able to use OSCAR (derived from SleepyHead). See their supported machines list at https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php?title=OSCAR_suppor... https://gitlab.com

Sometimes forking and using the main branch on the fork (or tags and releases) can help. And if you're on a team, nobody else needs to be aware of the noise that is you throwing trivial changes at the wall. It gets painful if there are

And if you're working on workflows that need to be in PRs, you can make a PR from your fork _to_ your fork.

Thunderbird never quite used XULRunner, I think; they always built their own binary (though at some point quite a lot of the shared stuff moved into the XRE stuff). Think of it as they had a fork of Firefox (much like Firefox had a stripped

Existing IP comes with existing baggage seems fair to me. If they did something original people wouldn't have those expectations, but in return also not the existing fame.

As you say it's very context dependent. Trello makes sense as an SPA because the user stares at the same page all day (the board view), for long stretches at a time, and often requires interaction like dragging cards around. For Google

Not all kernel modules need to be GPL; that's why there's a license field for modules at all (if everything needs to be GPL, then the license would be implied). The issue here is that nVidia wants at least part of their module to
