I remember comparing AutoIt and AutoHotKey to pick which one to learn. The community being really open and seemingly twice as large at the time was why I selected AHK. Shame about the language syntax though, I still fight with it. But it is

Funny. I've had people hovering over my shoulder comment how my PC is so much faster than theirs when it was actually an RDP session to another PC, which seems to disable almost all window animations by default.

Bumblebees always seemed pretty docile in my experience. Come to think of it, I can't recall ever being stung by an actual bee. Asshole wasps are another story.

Supermarkets can probably only do this to a very limited extent. Moving entire aisles of product has a large human labor and training cost they would need to pay for, not to mention physical space and plate wiring limitations. They can'

Telemetry shows moving the option around results in higher use of the start page thing. Every time it moves less people can find it and the uptake of the new feature improves.

Those services require coughing up your phone number to use. And since recovery emails are apparently the weakness used in proton's case, not the encryption of the mailbox, that sounds worse.

Any payment system will be used to track and unmask users. Then they'll double dip selling your even better identified user data to whoever wants it. Probably while still showing you ads. You can slowdown bots with proof of work. A cry

I haven't commented really since afavour has mostly articulated my position for me. I don't use Apple products as I am philosophically opposed to the control of the hardware. And my life goes on fine. WEI alone is enough for me to

Yeah, this does seem to line up more with the Windows8/Windows phone failure more than anything. Despite people having a better opinion about Edge Chromium it didn't seem to stem the decline.

Edge seems like a blunder in general. Prior to the initial Edge introduction IE seemed to have 20-25% of the desktop browser marketshare. Nothing like the crazy 90+% it had at its height but certainly not a browser you can ignore. Now they&

There's this weird narrative I see that "computers just aren't powerful enough" to do things I remember them already doing on Pentium 1 class machines in the 90s.

This thing sounds useless even if you don't put bleach in as an ingredient then. Sounds like some one wanted to write "with AI" on their resume more than any great desire to build something useful.

I feel like most people just want to pretend the privacy respecting alternatives don't even exist so they can give up. See the endless parade of excuses about why people can't help but use Chrome still. The battle is well and trul

Its the wrong priority anyway. Windows is utterly infested with far worse telemetry at this point so it would be like fixing pinhole hull leaks in the titanic after the ship had snapped in half.

It sounds like a proof of work rate limiter similar to something hashcash. I don't think it will stop a bot machine, just make it very expensive to use. Which is actually all regular captchas do anyway. Whenever this comes up as an alt

It is probably used to confirm how effective dark patterns are at tricking people into do things they don't want to do.
