I'd be willing to put up with it if it were free, like the good ol MSN messenger / AIM days.

When I was in high school and not allowed to have a cell phone, I had to use email via Gmail in my PSP's web browser in order to message people. I relied on these addresses so heavily and many people gave me weird looks for "oh bt

I'm not going to say that this isn't disappointing or isn't a real problem, but to say Google sucks at making hardware is a bit unfair, as every device has design issues. If this is the major hardware issue this generation, t

I definitely have one on my screen, but I really have to look for it. Doesn't really bother me much.

I just retired some drives out of my home array. 3TB WD Reds with 10.5 years of power on time, no logged errors. Ran them through a full block check and had no errors.

I've been working with getting games from 1995+ working on modern systems over the past two years, and honestly the biggest incompatibilities I've seen have been in the registry. Combined with some redirected filesystem calls, I r

I don't understand why 5K @ 27" is so sought after. My partner uses a 4K 32" display currently and if I'm at a normal sitting distance, I couldn't tell the difference between it and a 5K Studio Display. The 32"

I'm not old, but things like this make me go "back in my day we had a CRT with one input, VGA, and it just worked". Obviously we don't have to worry too much about a monitor's supported modes anymore (though that wa

How much of the savings has also been a result of users leaving the platform?

I think he does get it, though. Windows 11 is the most touch friendly version of the OS to date. While Windows tablets aren't as common as say, the iPad, they're inherently more useful. I will say, they do need to get their heads

Can your 20 year old Mac even decode high definition H.264/5 videos?

Honestly I love Home Assistant and rely on it daily. That being said, I'm not sure I'd trust it controlling a pressure cooker.

Throwing my hat in saying I agree with you. There are certainly aspects of Blazor that need to be improved, though. Sometimes Intellisense has an aneurism and syntax highlighting completely breaks. Debugging needs some TLC in instances wher

It depends on the crowd. If you're just sampling the general population, yeah you're going to have problems. The best conversations on Twitter are done in more niche communities.

This is the "trust me bro" argument and while trends have shown that Apple supports stuff longer than most other manufacturers, there is no guarantee.

I think it was more of a rebranding, at least from Pixel 2 and onward. Nexus devices were often primarily designed by another manufacturer with Google oversight.

Looks like there's some discussion about the first one in the GitHub repo: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/15939

It's sitting on some old drive somewhere. I'll probably do some digging at some point and put it on archive.org, if only for preservation.

I cannot overstate how wonderful it is to have a proper terminal in Windows these days, along with everything that properly utilizes it like PowerShell 7 and OpenSSH available as a feature.

The summer workshops for HS students at DigiPen helped launch me into a programming career :) No experience with Zero, but when I did the workshop in 2008 we used the .NET-based engine. I forget the name of it and the backup I have is in a

Most games that _do_ use the registry use it as a data store that may or may not be accessed by external applications. It provides a very reliable pathing (at least at the time of the game's release) to access typed data. For instance,

Maybe I just glance over them now, but I don't see any ads in Windows at the moment? My start menu just has the applications I installed. Notifications are just from my apps. The most egregious thing I can think of is the news app (whi

Of course. Ideally we'd be able to have all appliances be polarizing agnostic and write that into any standards, and then be able to enforce those standards.

Clarifying what you mean, all acronyms are pronounceable, otherwise they're just a sparkling initialism.

This is certainly alleviated a bit on Android by having most of the core apps updatable separate from the OS itself. I know people who are running 5+ year old Android devices that are only just starting to think about upgrading.
