That was… a very interesting thought experiment you just sent me on. I’d never considered this, but it immediately sounds plausible upon hearing it. Thanks for mentioning this “off topic” idea :D

WebKit browser, on iOS, with (most) Firefox and Chrome extensions possible.

Y’all are welcome :D (also @AllYourSmurf)

Yeah, code editors really missed the memo that the XDG tried sending out, that (… mostly) works so well on Desktop Linux

Link? And where can I upload a PDF* of the site to share with you? tmpfiles.org’s short duration probably won’t cut it…

*Although I’m certain The Saver™️ would only do full webarchive zips, for us casuals, the PDF export shall do (and be easier in day to day use)

Ah. That is a very neat design then. I thought it was just for the picks, but at that size, it makes way more sense to hold both!

And thanks for the explainer/vocab primer :D

Thanks!

There’s one part you imitate the keys’ teeth with, those are the picks with different patterns visible in the photo.

But then there’s the part with which you imitate the turning movement of a genuine key, and it has to be robust, as it needs to be able to turn the lock while still allowing space for the teeth-aligning-tool from above, so there’s higher forces on smaller surfaces. That’s why I said sturdy :D

And it kinda looks like the longer part in your pic’s pick (sorry :P) in the back, but I’m not sure.

That pick is very sleek! Much lower profile than mine… got a link?

Also, is the, uh, sturdy part (never learned those terms in English) detachable?

Is that fidget self made?

I have Orion (macOS only for the time being) and it’s sooo good.

The amazing part is that it even works as a daily driver if you’re a not-so-techie person/normal user… but then on top there are all these little extra features and optimizations that make it like Safari if Safari was actually good.

I would at this point a) not be able to go back to either Safari or Firefox (edit: nor Ungoogled Chromium) as well as b) immediately trust an Orion user on most of what they have to say about a “tech” related opinion :D

… which is then displayed in a longer comment…

… where have I seen that before? Genius!

Nothing ever happens rule

Germany, 20s, yes (and up until recently exclusively drove manual transmission cars from like before 2010)

I’ve tried using wireless charging in a friend’s car on my iPhone SE a few weeks back.

Result: notification that charging had (!) to be stopped at around 50% due to overheating and was poised to continue once the iPhone had cooled down sufficiently. It never continued as that was all I needed to know about the current state of wireless charging with light usage on the side.

Good point on the wireless listening and ear pieces needing a battery as well, though. I guess with those it comes down to convenience for most buyers.

They will not, at least not in the EU.

The difference with wireless listening vs. charging is that the former doesn’t need close to 2x the power of the cable-bound method and doesn’t destroy the phone’s battery in the process, unlike the latter

Even worse, my default browser was changed to Bing after an update.

Is this not literally quite almost what their first big antitrust case was all about (shipping their OS together with Internet Explorer, back then) that almost got them broken up by the state?

Wonder why email as an identifier wasn’t sufficient…

I really miss a somewhat niche forum about a video game I’m playing… but I also don’t find the time to put in the effort of re-creating and moderating it myself here again.

Also to add to what you said, switch away from (Google) Chrome everyone!!

Imagine this message, but on every website, and it literally cannot be prevented, as the browser itself will sooner than later just straight up tell the sites “yo, your content has been modified, maybe block the user from viewing”, snitching on you.

Come to think of it now, I wonder if this will affect poorly implemented sites using that feature to accidentally (or intentionally…) disable dark mode/reader extensions.

And then, due to Chrome’s market share, if left unchanged, web developers/companies will at some point just not bother anymore. Imagine “this works best in Google Chrome, download now” you see for some web apps today, but even with the most basic text based site that can’t prevent you from using your Adblocker in e.g. Firefox or Safari.
