Thanks. Do you ever experience any 'false positives' i.e. flashlight turns on when you didn't intend? (A few other people in the comments mentioned that)

I'm on Android and just wish I had a simple button (or switch) dedicated to the flashlight. Back when I ran LineageOS it was easy to commandeer a physical button and repurpose it for this. It is still difficult to do so under stock OS

It's an awesomely inspirational vision, but within 2 minutes of trying it out I found it's lacking a lot of little features (at least on the web build)... e.g: Ampersands in button labels don't create an accelerator (e.g. &a

I did extensive work in Visual Basic 6. Nearly all of the GUI's I created had resizeable windows that scaled gracefully. It was really straightforward to hook the Resize event. I considered this table stakes for any thoughtfully-writ

But that's exactly what I would want in the first place. Take my square and make it look like a circle (not a square with rounded corners).

So it's basically what I would expect to get if I asked for a generic Bluetooth dongle.

I never had interest in history when I was young, but developed an appetite for it lately. Learning how and why people reacted the way they did during times of growing political instability has helped me reconcile some of the trends I see i

Great job writing up the prognosis. I've experienced a few subtly nuanced Gboard and text input bugs on Android with quite unintuitive and frustrating symptoms (eg. keyboard not coming up when it should, copy/paste context menus

This is awesome. I miss the ISA bus and its simplicity. People raved about PCI's Plug and Play, but in practice I found it very straightforward to set IRQ jumpers and the experience was free of the quirky issues I encountered with PnP

Are there any more in-depth resources for the rationale and debate behind this legislation? I'm curious for the justification behind artists getting this special protection, but not the rest of the general population. Also why existin

I'm surprised yours is the only comment from this perspective. I get the draw and innocence of such videos, but I agree spreading them knowing they were most likely uploaded accidentally seems a violation of these people's privac

We've always been lazy. To the point I've seen people here argue against striving for quality workmanship, in favour of efficiency. But like any other trade, some of us are craftsmen who really care about our work.

Canadian here. Disappointed by the lack of transparency. First, no corporation should be unilaterally shut down without a clear explanation provided, including facts & evidence (which would normally come to light during due process).

Finally, adjusting the flight’s launch window to the late afternoon at Starbase will enable the ship to reenter over the Indian Ocean in daylight, providing better conditions for visual observations.

The blurring distinction between local and cloud has gotten so bad that not even a nerd can tell if their device is respecting the privacy border.

Any way to bring that up without logging into a Google account? I hate how many products have become login-walled gardens (eg. Twitter, Instagram, various forums and newsites that render differently to crawlers than to me, etc...)
