That can happen if you have a mapped network drive which isn't immediately responding or which is offline. If you hover over the drive in Explorer (even accidentally) it will immediately try to query the network location. This can caus

Can someone please tell me why on earth people pay $10/month per user for what is basically just a chat service? There are countless free alternatives available. When did paying for group chat become a thing?

The people at these companies probably do realise that literally nobody has ever tried to watch a video like Rick Beato's to simply listen to a piece of music. Anyone who is watching a Rick Beato video is watching it because of the t

The first example on that page ("Contacts" box) looks way better in the "before" style. Turns me off their entire proposition because it's obviously incredibly subjective.

Are they surprised? Why on earth would anyone want to switch to 11? Getting rid of the customisable/movable taskbar and replacing it with the god-awful Mac-style centre menu was an absolute travesty of design. Similarly, replacing func

Just tried both the ones you mentioned and I have to say I absolutely hate the movement. It is extremely floaty, meaning there is a ton of acceleration and deceleration. Maybe that's the point, but it's not what I enjoy at all. Sa

My dream is a user-friendly network-level firewall of some kind which can selectively block requests to domains on the entire network level. Something like uMatrix but for your entire network. Imagine being able to block `ads.google.com` or

That's when you immediately stop using the website and, if you care enough, write to their customer service and tell them what happened. Hit them in the wallet. They'll change eventually.

Dunno why you've been voted down; you're totally right. The method you mention is called token/cursor/keyset-based pagination.

My response would be it doesn't make any sense. There are so many reasons why blocking rooting is a stupid idea. Just some of them: - If you're capable of rooting a device then you're capable of understanding the risks which

Wow, Media Player Classic has come a long way. I knew it could play most types of videos but this is next-level compatibility.

Nothing in the article, the video, or the manufacturer's own blog post explains what this thing actually does . Seriously. This is an ephemeral marketing puff piece. As far as I can infer, the thing's basically a smart speaker wh

Anyone else angered by the fact that these military companies have named themselves using words from Tolkien's works? Andruil, Palantir... it makes a mockery of the things that Tolkien stood for and I hate it.

Not trying to sound like an asshole but articles like this always confuse me. "Experimenting" with no-build web apps makes it sound like web apps require build steps by default. The opposite is true. The idea of building/co

As a web developer of too many years, I just can't get my head around the need for these kinds of reactive libraries. Re: the first example, the reactive counter. First of all it mixes content and JavaScript which is a sore subject but

As someone who recently tried to use Blender for an extremely simple task... Blender's UI is absolutely terrible and should not be used as an example of anything except how to design an unintuitive UI.

eBay's listings are no longer free. They are now extorting their pound of flesh via a so-called "Buyer Protection Fee" which forces buyers , rather than sellers, to pay extra when purchasing items from private sellers.

Really - a massive, fuck-off tablet serves as the interior controls? I thought car manufacturers had realised that touch-screen interfaces are simply terrible for drivers, and I thought customers were largely agreed in their hatred for them
