Cool! I didn't see it listed on the main page so that's why I asked. Are there a lot of languages similarly supported via plugins? Are they all listed somewhere? Edit: Also, how are comments treated, in general (especially if t

Without criticizing or implying any conspiracy theories, I did find it odd where the news release quoted "a spokesperson at GrapheneOS" without attributing it. We badly need alternative(s) like GrapheneOS, and I want to see it suc

Since this is getting downvoted, let me explain: I don't want any cloud service to be my passkey provider. I'm not comfortable establishing that kind of dependence on a company I don't trust. I'd be content to keep pass

Is it possible to disable passkey support in Chromium and have it tell websites that feature is unsupported? So you no longer get prompted to create them? (On a global or per-site basis)

The Ribbon is a disaster. Compared to conventional toolbars, it fails across several metrics. When it first came out, I did studies of myself using it vs. the older toolbared versions of Word and Excel, and found I was quantifiably slower.

I don't much like the official Outlook app. Been using Nine for ages, it does everything I've needed.

I've been seriously contemplating reviving my old Palm device. No notifications / nagging, no ads, in many cases better apps, hardware buttons and a security posture exotic enough to basically not be worth targeting.

Is it safe to assume LTSC versions of Windows will not have this crap shoved down their throats, as they don't get feature updates only security patches?

Sounds like a smart kid, is part of you secretly proud of him for his tenacity? Is it impractical to keep an eye on what he's doing on his computer, i.e. physically checking in on him from time to time? How about holding him responsibl

There are small suppliers in Hong Kong who sell refurb enterprise drives at less-exorbitant prices. I've had good luck with this over the years. I stuck with reliable, well-known models like the 4TB HGST, 16TB Seagate Exos (X16), etc

I would love for a self-service broker to materialize. i.e. Where you upload your paperwork, fill in and certify the forms online, make a payment, and the broker just feeds all that through. You do the work, they're just your gateway
