Perhaps I am wrong but in my experience Chrome, Firefox and the platform included browsers all set the browser language to the OS language by default. While not a perfection solution I feel if the user is able to understand the language of

I always wondered wtf the browsers language setting is for. Can a website not query this for the preferred language rather than make a language decision based on an IP address geo lookup? I am English, my browsers language order is to set E

I really enjoyed MQ. It is ridiculous but also quite true to life according to my wife who is a video game producer. A lot of big personalities, egos, etc. I loved F. Murray Abraham's character. Quite the departure from Dar Adal in Hom

I respectfully disagree. I feel it is safe to say that Zoom have some serious issues in their development process. It seems every other day there is some new issue. Install fuckery on macOS, lying about E2EE, including code they did not pro

IMHO working from home only really works if you are alone (or the other people are also working from home, i.e. quiet and considerate). Sure you might be able to get an hour or two of quality work time while your partner and kid are watch

Not always. Shockingly (or I guess not shockingly by todays standards) some MiniDiscs have copy protection on the track listing! However a majority of CDs I owned with CD-TEXT would happily label everything correctly. This was the reason I

The new MacBook Air looks really nice as well. Here's hoping we see a new 13/14" MacBook Pro in the next day or two as well. I want to upgrade from my 15" but I don't want this form factor anymore. 14" in a sli

Fair point however as someone moving from a Nokia N95 to the original iPhone I recall things very differently. While it is true the N95 could do a lot more than the first iPhone I hated using the N95 and iOS, while more limiting, was a br
