If I remember correctly, Chrome started all this BS with the infamous burger menu. With traditional designs, I can easily find what are the operations available and now I have make at least one extra click to discover that. Making it worse,

Windows 10 control panel/settings app is FUBAR. In some versions, tasks as simple as change ip address etc. became mission impossible. There are two sets of UI, neither is working...

Oh well M$! Would you please stop massing around by breaking existing functionalities and provide something really works? The core utilities such as diskpart etc. used to be rock solid, now there are quite a few subtle but really annoying b

There was an article talking abut histories of Mac OS X and BSDs. It has been over a decade, so I'm really not sure how much is left ATM.

Okay, event you are assured that the source code you see are the origin of the binary you run, still no one can guarantee you there are no security concerns. The reason is simple: software are written by human, at best they were created wit

MacOS was really just FreeBSD with a fancier UI. Not sure what is the behavior now, but I'm pretty sure FreeBSD behaved almost exactly the same as a power loss rendered my system unbootable over 10 years ago.

Adobe is for sure one of the worst dark pattern practioner. Was trapped by them once and had to talk to their support. And it turned out their terms were much malicious than it looked. So once you get past the 14 days trial period they will

It's for sure super strong ATM, but already in the death spiral IMO, just a matter of time.

I'm not sure if this a good idea. USB-C is way too delicate for power tools and has way too many useless contact in given contexts. Anyone would expect lots of small particles or dusts in the environment, the socket should be able to t

If I remember correctly, Chrome started this minimalism sh*t. It was kinda make sense as most people like me only had one single 17" CRT with 1027x768 resolution by that time and thus the screen estate was quite limited. But not things

There are also Function Tests and Integration Tests. Seems the author took Unit Tests for all three.

I probably have around 100 NiMH AA batteries at home, around 30 AAA ones, most of them are Eneloops, around 20 are Energizers and around a dozen are some misc. brands. Most of them time they are good but still a couple of Eneloops died just

Why only 2022 really? Put all other subtle things aside, myself feel it's getting harder and harder to distinguish Ads and genuine results without reading the contents carefully.

Hmm, since those land is already own by Chinese, they can easily get detailed data on those. For all farmlands, wouldn't satellite data be good enough? So why would they need it anyway?

Cannot agree more. We don't need the malware but AV venders do: if there were no malwares, AV software would be useless. So why should we install something from someone with conflict interest in the first place?

Why bother suing them? Simply uninstall and reboot, problem solved once for all and you will have a much more responsive system as a bonus. I stopped using AV software over a decade ago, haven't really encounter a malware so far.

Kinda, but not completely. The problem is really with the hardware, switching OS can only alleviate but not resolving it. But really, we don't have choices unless we want to stay with fairly old platforms.

No problem for me, as I'm on the verge to say goodbye to Windows anyway. But I'm pretty sure it would be a problem for most of the people using Windows.

I'm not SublimeText user neither. IMO the problem was really #2 and #3. It's perfectly fine to switch the license model between major versions, and it might even be fine between minor updates as long as the committed maintenance

You were probably right. But I got that from my interactions with one of the AV vendors over a decade ago. Since then, the only AV on my machine is Windows Defender. It's not because I need it or trust it, but rather it cannot be easil

Ransomware is still malware IMO. Put the conflict of interest aside, if current approach to detect malware does not change, no matter how hard we try, we will still be one step behind. If we can keep the system up to date, configure the use

Similar dark patterns are now everywhere, e.g. now most phones are with irremovable batteries. Someone might argue that is to make phones thinner by remove the back cap. Unfortunately that was not the case, I did see some phone with removab

I did not know much Jerrycan at all before reading the article. But nonetheless when last time I was in a hardware store trying to get a fuel can, I took Jerrycan in the first glance from whole bunch of different styles. I was wondering why

Well, let's take it from a different angle: We don't need malwares but AV vendors do. If there were no malwares, there would be no AV vendors too.

I really thought antivirus software was helpful and was naively reporting samples of malwares I found on my machine to one of the vendor I trusted. Things like that went on for years until one day I found something suspicious on my machine

Totally agree. And two cents to add. The so called smart bolt adds movable parts in side a part supposed to be inertia and at the same time might compromise the strength in comparison with ones with the same profile and body material. And w
