30 here. On my iPad, if I bring up an app in the floating view, I often have to rediscover how to dismiss it. I just tried to do it now and this is how it went: My first instinct was to flick it up from the bottom, but that brings up the re

I'd only agree with that if part of that is also a law that forces ISPs to cut off anyone who's been taken over and is part of a botnet.

If you're not using keyboard shortcuts, then there's much less ingrained in your muscle memory. You're using more conscious effort to perform tasks which means that when something changes you don't need to put forth extr

Root access used to be a concern for me, but it became much less useful when Xposed had to enter the cat-and-mouse game against SafetyNet. And now that unlocked bootloaders can't be hidden from SafetyNet, I don't even bother with

dd is one of the most dangerous ones I was thinking of. I hadn't even thought of swapping if and of though, just mistyping the target drive. I would feel so much safer choosing from a list of the drives shown with good identifying info

There's a lot of operations from the command line that are too easy to screw up. As much as I love having the power available and I'd certainly not give it up, I can't deny that GUIs (or even just TUIs) are much safer since y

At least ctrl-r shows you what command you're about to execute. I often see advice about character sequences in bash that expand to the last command or arguments in the last command, but I have never felt comfortable using them because

As someone who's returned their 2020 XPS 15, I can say that it hasn't gotten better. I can't speak for how well the hardware endures but it does have various flaws. Also didn't find the speakers to be good. Sounded worse

What if your router needs some manual configuration through the web interface? I'm not convinced there is much to gain from letting Edge be uninstalled through normal means as long as it's not consuming resources other than some d

It's one of the most impactful AVs when it comes to file r/w speed, especially on lots of small files. I have no idea why I still see people calling it lighter and faster than other AV options. It's not even like the performa

Embarrassingly I let checking the URL bar give me a false sense of security and got phished for the first time just a few days ago. They put a fake URL bar into the page and made it look like a proper OAuth2 URL. (My 2nd factor saved me fro

Good to see someone else is having this problem. I thought I was failing at entering good search queries because I get full result pages of SEO garbage. I switched to DDG a few months ago so I don't even think to compare results to Goo

Based on the kinds of things I see people posting on social media, I think the attitude regarding amendment #2 stems from fear. Guns make them feel safe. Including feeling safe from the government who they fear will come to try to do things

Try BetterTouchTool. It has window snapping built-in and it has all sorts of options for hotkey actions for snapping and moving windows between desktops. Also you can use it to get middle click on a MacBook trackpad and to completely custom

Same. It's very easy to mix them, sometimes on lines entered minutes apart. I'm used to double quotes in C#, C++, Rust, etc. so it's just my natural fallback when coding in Python. I find myself doing it with SQL occasionally

Even if self-hosted email was easy, I don't find it to be a great idea. I ran my own for a while using mail-in-a-box but ended up moving to fastmail because I didn't trust myself to maintain the setup. I need my email system to ju

Even if it's not a full design in writing, important decisions should have a trail. It can be hard to adhere to that, but it's very useful. Life if there's something that you think could bite you, but a manager is very pushy

I think it's important to make it clear when you were against a plan that ended up failing exactly how you said it would. Because otherwise you can end up taking the blame. No one is going to try to pin it back an you as not arguing we

"Invalidates" might be a bit strong, since it still does show that white on black isn't a great choice. It just doesn't follow from the study that the average dark theme is worse than the average light theme.

I don't understand what Apple is doing with the touchbar. Before I used it, I was thinking that the gimmick didn't look as bad as people were making it out to be. After I used it, I returned the laptop. Why does it activate withou

Me and a coworker found that uBO blocks it. Also from my tests without uBO enabled it didn't scan every time (seemed to only scan when logged out, but that could have been a coincidence)
