bugfix··on YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki is stepping down
Many videos had the dislike count collected by the extension and stored before YouTube completely removed the counter from the videos. That number is now combined with dislikes sent by the users.

New videos will only show dislikes sent by people using the extension. There's no way to know the real number anymore.

bugfix··on Google to pay $60M for misleading representations
Microsoft now is doing the same with Edge. If you want to change your default browser on Windows 11 you need to individually click and select it for every file extension/protocol.
bugfix··on Google.com tests a busier home page with a row of info cards
How long until they go full Yahoo?
bugfix··on Show HN: You.com, private search engine that summarizes the web – built for devs
Honestly, I won't install your extension because I don't know who you are. Having it as an option would be great. People here have seen _many_ stories about extensions being silently updated with malware.

I really hope you reconsider. So far I've got great results for the queries I ran in Incognito mode, but I will not install an extension just so I can change my search engine.

bugfix··on Reversing LZ91 from Commander Keen
You might not get the exact same code, but it is certainly possible to generate C/pseudo-code from the binary.

IDA Pro and Ghidra can identify functions and generate the equivalent C code. I know that this is not the original code, but it does help a bit when you are trying to get an idea of what a large function doing.

bugfix··on Starlink review, four months in
What about an SSH connection? Do you have to reconnect when it switches satellites?
bugfix··on Nepalese student learns HTML, JavaScript, CSS using just a mobile phone
The high fees are used to discourage imports. Here in my country they say these taxes are used to "protect the local businesses/manufacturing", but it makes absolutely no sense, because most (tech) products aren't even made here. They usually charge you 60-70% of the retail price.
bugfix··on Windows 11 laptops will require front facing camera in 2023
I think it has been over 10 years since I've seen a laptop without a webcam. Even the long dead "netbooks" had front facing cameras.
bugfix··on Police officer plays Taylor Swift song to keep a video off YouTube
You can upload it to YouTube, but you can't monetize it.

I've seen some videos of people following officers around with a camera and harassing them trying to get some sort of response, so they can post the video on their Instagram/YouTube and make money from ads.

bugfix··on Introducing Windows 11
Just enabled PTT in the BIOS, but the tool still says my computer is not compatible (but it doesn't tell me exactly why).
bugfix··on Introducing Windows 11
Apparently, my 3yo desktop isn't compatible (Gigabyte Z270X Ultra). I really doubt people will upgrade their hardware just to use Windows 11.
bugfix··on Vivaldi 4.0
There is a noticeable delay when opening a new window or moving a tab out of the main window. This happens instantly on Chrome/Edge/Brave.

I've tried switching to Vivaldi at least 5 times since release, but can't get used to this delay.

bugfix··on Google fined €100M by Italian antitrust over Google Play abuse of dominance
It is actually pretty easy. As long as you don't use any private APIs, you can completely change the behavior of your app after the review by changing server side settings.
bugfix··on NSFW Server Designation
Any app with "Unrestricted Web Access" gets a 17+ rating.
bugfix··on Wuffs’ PNG image decoder
The title changed multiple times. I've seen at least 3 in the last 30 minutes (safest, fastest and now this one).
bugfix··on Syntax Highlighting in a Webpage Without JavaScript
What is so special about this? This is the way websites have been doing syntax highlighting before people started using javascript libraries.
bugfix··on I no longer trust The Great Suspender
Wow, my Chrome RAM usage went from about 2GB to 8GB after removing TGS.
bugfix··on Apple reportedly dropped plan for encrypting backups after FBI complained (2020)
So why not give users the option to encrypt everything if they want to?
bugfix··on Create bootable USB drives the easy way (Windows)
You can use windows Disk Management. Just delete all the partitions on the flash drive, create a new one and format.
bugfix··on Create bootable USB drives the easy way (Windows)
I've been using rufus for years now and have never had any issues. Also, the size difference is huge. Rufus: 1.1mb / Balena etcher: 124mb

0123 (octal) != 123 (int)
