Exactly! I love getting free stuff. I don't care if it's a crappy company-branded pen, give me all the free swag!

This is why I've been using Firefox forks like Zen or LibreWolf. These forks will disable/strip out the AI stuff, so I never have to see it.

Even if they do, I'd assume they wouldn't read any of that feedback and just keep doing what they are doing anyway.

Whenever I type, be it on my phone or on a computer, I always use double spaces after a period. Like you, I'm just used to it and un-learning it is hard!

I don't understand why removing menu icons is a good thing. Firefox did it and I absolutely hate the change: https://blog.mozilla.org/ux/2021/06/content-design-considera... I actually use Zen browser an

I never played the 1st Grandia, but I had Grandia II on the Dreamcast and I absolutely loved that game. I'll admit that I was never the best with (J)RPGs and never played it for that long per-session as a kid, but I did eventually fin

I didn't go that far, but I did take the back cover from my old (stickered) laptop and hang it on the wall.

Hmm... I wonder how many of these are ThinkPads. I found this site a few days ago and uploaded my laptop, which just so happens to be a ThinkPad X270. Mine: https://stickertop.art/content/images/2025/11/1

The worm was unleashed November 2, 1988. I was born exactly 7 days later. Coincidence? Yeah, probably.

> Microsoft said in a statement it regretted the way it handled the situation. Is there _actual_ regret here, or is it more of a "sorry we got caught" type of thing?

Do you mean "metaverse" as just a avatar-based game (like Second Life), do you mean that you'll link with what Facebook/Meta is calling the "metaverse," or do you mean adding other "web3" based things

I just noticed that I said "I knew", when I meant "I never knew". I guess I accidentally a word there.

As a kid (ok, as an adult too), I knew what the "CH" on floppies meant. I was curious, but never asked or tried looking it up. I forget when, but one day, it dawned on me that it said "HD"! I guess most of my floppies h

What problem? All these AI devices seem like a solution in search of a problem.

Hello fellow RIT alum! I don't think I knew about this class when I went there, though I started as a Computer Engineering student (eventually switched to Computing Security).

I've gotten plenty of emails from blockchain/crypto/web3 companies and I just delete them. It's entirely possible they are real, legitimate companies, and even if they are I'm not sure I'd want to work there.

Don't forget when everyone was adding "blockchain" to their apps, regardless of what that did or meant.

I guess they aren't "fake" per se, but there's no way I would ever let a random person who just emailed me use my computer/account.

I guess I don't know all the settings/permissions that SSH can do. I assumed that once I was connected, I could just do whatever I wanted (or whatever my user had permission to do). Thanks for the information!

I'd understand if there was a firewall rule to prevent me from port forwarding to another machine on the same network, but this is the same machine (localhost).

I've gotten my fair share of fake job interview emails. I don't think any have ever tried to get me to download/run some code. Mostly, I think they are just trying to phish for information or get me to join their Slack. I r

I was playing with it, and you can do this, which looks a little better. const greeting = pipe('hello'); greeting | upper | ex('!!!'); await greeting.run(); // → "HELLO!!!" Since it u
