I think this is some (new?) social media trend, my school started doing it too with their images on facebook. Half the image is just a border so the actual image is really low res. I have no idea why they do it though.

It's still not like Android though.

- Respect the user's prefers-color-scheme (HN fails this one)

- Make sure your text is not to small (HN also fails this one spectacularly)

- Lines should not be longer than like 132ch

- There should be left and right margins as to not have letters directly on the edge of the screen.

- For fonts, I prefer that a site just uses "sans-serif", "serif", and "monospace", but most people don't choose their browser default fonts, so for a general audience I'm not sure on this

(as someone who doesn't use an iphone or whatsapp) What's the purpose of this? Surely if you want to call a phone number you want to make a phone call?

> it doesn’t magically give it a pair of twin touchpads to make generations of older mouse-and-trackball games work.

I think the touchpads are the reason why many (like me) chose the Steam Deck instead - and I use them for controller games!

I used to use excel in school in hungarian and at home in english.

I don't think there were bugs in opening files, but I sure got some useless error messages when I used the wrong language!

I see markdown for a second every time I load this page; if you say "raw html" at least convert from markdown on the server!

I think it's also EOL/not getting updates now?

I mean I never used it, their only selling point seem to have been hype.

I've always found this weird - when I put my phone down I hit the power button to turn the screen off/lock it.

I have an userscript installed that turns the instagram video player into a regular html one, so in case I end up clicking an instagram link, I don't go insane while trying to watch something.

Meanwhile Microsoft is telling everyone to ewaste their perfectly good PCs and buy new ones?

Preventing ewaste like that is more important than designing products like this, in my opinion.

Some people called it the hash symbol, and then they used it to mark tags (as in categories or keywords). So technically, the symbol is not the hashtag but the entire #tag construct is.

I have been using this for a few years now. Has all the keys I could want. Actually makes ssh-ing from termux not a bad experience.

My mom (not a programmer) uses it as well because she is able to type much faster with the swiping than with a regular touch keyboard.

Google still works for me. I don't know if it's because I am in the EU or because uBlock Origin gets rid of the promoted results, probably both.

Also, if you are searching for something time-specific then "after:" and "before:" work great.

oh no

Why is there an 'Â' after every sentence?

The blue effect on the right side makes the page very laggy for me.

It's still better than other manufacturers. If you look at HP's website their laptops are literally just named like 'HP 14" Laptop', without a generation/year.

Also, for Lenovo - https://psref.lenovo.com/ shows their products without marketing filler.

Just sit up if you want to use your phone in bed?

For those using firefox's autoplay blocker, http://astronaut.io/ doesn't work at all unless you whitelist it.

Interesting. It's not just the oil rig itself, the whole lake's satellite view is the same blue colour, while other bodies of water are more detailed.

> The Steens knew that their son was an avid gamer, but they'd not grasped that for nearly a decade, he had had another virtual life in the game World of Warcraft.

I had to read this sentence a couple of times before it made sense. If you ignore everything after the last comma, "knew that their son was an avid gamer, but they'd not grasped that" is an oxymoron.

The same could be asked about browser devtools - on desktop they're now standard but as far as I know only one mobile browser has it (kiwi).

The amount of ads on this page is insane (and I'm using ublock origin!)

I use https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard

> This is one place where static typing and primitive types fall short.

I can't reproduce it here, but I found it really funny that "short" was monospaced, like it was the type.

Technically an empty awk program is an implementation of cat(1) (before it came back from berkeley waving flags, anyway).

Of course no awk will run an empty program, so the article's '1' or '"a"' or other truthy value is required.

Pretty sure file:// is very broken in different ways on every android browser.

For example, on kiwi browser typing in a file URL causes it to be searched, but using the "go to URL in clipboard" button (with the file url in your clipboard) works. Except when you randomly run into some weird android file permission issue and the browser just can't see certain files...

A lot of (younger?) people seem to think that you need JS when just a regular html form would do.

When I was creating a password for online banking, it required me to include at least one special char - but apparently they didn't consider the dollar sign ($) a valid character...
