You know it's coming.

.exe is so s.exy

a bad deal [...] similar to [...] keeping a balance on your VISA

Huh? Elaborate?

Trusting Google with your domains is honestly nuts.

CloudFlare and Internet.bs are no-nonsense registrars I like at the lowest prices on the web.

It sounds you haven’t used anything past Photoshop 7 then, which I must remind you came out in 2002. First thing that comes to mind is content-aware fill, which came out 8 years later in CS5, if I remember correctly.

I'm confident that either this already exists in Japanese or that apps/tools can do it.

Japanese Children learn Kanji with Furigana, so there are solutions for them.

Some examples I found:

it would shock me if Vietnam was a leader in this space

Don't be too shocked. Vietnam is little China in the region. People are still ok with it because Vietnam has been seeing tremendous growth in the last couple of decades… sounds familiar? Lots of tech companies are also setting up shop there… it's a 100% dejavu. I just hope it won't suffer the same fate in 20 years.

> I hate everything about iPadOS

Does this person ever look at reviews

Forget reviews, the iPad has been out for 13 years and the capabilities haven’t changed much since then. You’d have to have lived under a rock to not know what it can and can’t do. Did they have an android phone?

Safari mobile SUCKS. Not having extensions is excruciating.

Safari does have extensions. The problem is that they’re nowhere near Chrome’s in quantity, but userscripts and shortcuts are also available without limits.

What if one is really into ducks?

But it is almost the opposite

It feels like I only hear this on tech forums. Everyone outside trusts Google and that’s kind of the issue

What can HA do that Google/Alexa can’t?

It’s my money, it’s always an investment hoping to get some return, either happiness or convenience. It’s not meant to be taken literally.

Time to start using Text Replacements. I have:

- fuck -> fuck

- duck -> fuck

Note: I do like ducks but they’re generally less common than fucks.

Everything is down. How can this happen? Many of these services are unrelated, like even the brand-new Codespaces and Copilot are completely down. Do they all have a single point of failure? (Presumably the git server)

Tongue in cheek, but

Amazon Web Services, Inc. is a subsidiary of Amazon

So it’s technically another company.

Another comment seems to confirm this akshually comment ^_^’

This is my worry, but you now you just have to make sure you can access your keychain.

Test your keychain access today, “lose your devices” and see if you can still get all your keys through other methods. This is especially important with 2FA.

It is true that you cannot probably access your password without a new “owned” device though, gone are the days where you can hop onto a fresh device and type in your password of your email provider.

the overhead of multiple files is gone

Unfortunately not. Gzip is applied per-file and multiple small zips aren’t as compressed as a single zip.

Additionally, you get a cascade of downloads if you have multiple levels of imports, so it will download a file, parse it, download the its dependencies, etc.

Now this may not be a big deal in some cases, but the overhead is still not gone.

Side note: server push is gone so there’s no way to avoid the cascade.

minify - i don’t care since i gzip anyway

That’s not how it works. The two things are complementary. Minification can drop a lot of dead code and comments, gzipping alone won’t do that.

A whole industry has sprung around charging back end developers for basic networking tasks. They will quite literally pay for anything that means they don't have to place a server in their basement. The irony is they are taking on a ton of overhead with multiple services instead of learning how to plug in the Ethernet cable and turn the server on.

Historic tidbit: Mozilla had a slew of "internal" prefixes to be used in their UI and extensions, but Apple really broke new ground and made them mainstream when the iPhone came out and really needed CSS to be useful. That's when stuff like -webkit-transition` and the fabulous `-webkit-box-reflect` were pushed out without waiting for anyone.

-ms- wasn't really a thing until IE10 if I remember correctly, when they started prefixing their own IE5-era properties like the DirectX-based `filter` [citation needed]

I get to be a few cycles behind the state of the art in software commoditizing their users.

Have you been on the App Store lately? macOS and iOS are relatively clean, but the most apps in the stores are out to get you.

make you choose between “Chrome”, “Safari”, or “the default browser [Safari]” every time you click a link

Apple oughta put a stop to this nonsense.

1. There's a global default browser setting: follow it.

2. Almost no app needs an embedded SFSafariViewController just to open random links

2b. Extend this to photo pickers (especially those that expect access to the entire library)

I don't understand what you're complaining about.

Staff does it for you but complains about those who don't and make the Staff’s lives harder. I think you're barking up the wrong tree.

Can someone explain what is the point of having long lines of satellites traveling on the same path?

I think you’re conflating separate issues. There’s barely any difference between iOS/iPadOS/macOS app stores. I can ship the same app for iOS and iPadOS in the same binary even.

The issue you’re describing is just the lack of investment in adding multi-pane views to android apps.

Reading your comments made me realize how a service like DDG could never succeed. The only people who care about its advantages are the same users they lose for anything that remotely helps the company grow.

Apple is a regular company and gets points for adding privacy features. DDG? “Nah, F that, they suggested I run code on my device for a brand-new unrelated service. Reprehensible.”

You criticized my comment as being “inappropriate” without reviewing the content my comment was referring to.

It could happen, they recently forced banks to use 2FA for some operations if I remember correctly.

To be fair, it’s easier and more convenient to just tell the user to download their own app than having to set up any other 2FA service.

Authentication has been a solved problem for decades but no bank is going to ask the general public to use their SSH keys.

It seems that you didn’t watch the episode, which is exactly about losing your home due to code violations like the ones described in the article.

HOA or not, chipped paint or garden gnomes should never lead to foreclosure.
