Is there really a was without increasing power? The openly available frequency bands are limited quite a bit, so can the wifi alliance do anything here?

Google's marketing is sooo good.

Instead of giving Mozilla the benefit of the doubt, many people are instead instantly complaining that Firefox is not better and it's worth sticking with Chrome anyways.

Chrome has not been supporting proper content blocking for years. E.g. Chrome will not wait for content blockers to initialize before sending out requests, so the first website that opens when you start Chrome is probably not content blocked.

> Github operates independently of Microsoft. (To Microsoft's detriment... they offer Azure Devops which is their enterprisey copy of Github, with entirely different UX and probably different codebase.)

GitHub Actions is basically Azure Pipelines repackaged with a different UI, so I don't think they mind much.

Microsoft is luring in non-tech companies with Active Directory and Office 365 and then catches them with promises about good integration into all services. Once the companies are in the Azure dashboard, why not try those fancy services they offer?

It's all smoke and mirrors but it works.

Firefox for Android can install uBlock Origin and do this.

When I was young I didn't care how much hassle I had to get through to get stuff I wanted for free. Mostly I didn't have money as a 12 y/o.

Depression can hit anybody at any time, even the most productive. Burn-out is also something quite a few people suffer from.

Why would anyone want to push somebody into homelessness or into permanent reliance on government subsidies because they cannot find work only because they screwed up?

Imagine saying something controversial on social media and having that plastered all over the web.

Microsoft Terminal is actually pretty good. I was surprised when I configured git bash as my main shell there and when opening it via right-click in Explorer, it correctly translated the path and opened the shell in the correct folder.

> How would investors even ask for that?

What do you mean "ask"? They demand because it's their capital that fuels the company.

It's not like a VC gives money to a company and then cannot do anything but wait for returns.

The time I saved because I don't need to double check if VSCode found all symbols while refactoring a large Angular app is worth multiple times the Jetbrains license...

They haven't had a "point-and-click adventure UI" for years. Pressing left Shift twice has been able to find ever single setting, button, code symbol, tool window, etc. since at least 2020.

I initially really disliked the new UI but since they trimmed the negative space around icons and even introduced a compact mode, I switched. My only dislike is that all buttons are monochrome.

I don't know how Amazon employees could refute anything like this with confidence.

There is no way of knowing whether a small NDA-gagged analytics team exists inside Amazon that is constantly feeding the C-suit fresh data about competitors and investment opportunities based on AWS data.

Or maybe they know that their plans to connect to the fediverse will leave them with tons of personal data they wouldn't be allowed to collect under GDPR. Although that doesn't matter since the EU is considering any company worldwide to be subject to GDPR when they collect data from EU residents.

Have the prices come down lately? When COVID hit, it was nearly impossible to find cheap new bikes.

> What actually never happened, to nobody's surprise.

Unless they provide feature parity, it will never happen.

A working WinForms designer for third-party controls (read: any control not provided by the framework itself or NDA-ed vendors) in Visual Studio would be nice, for example.

.NET Framework is still officially supported and targeting anything higher than 4.7.2 is unnecessary since there are no new APIs in 4.8. 4.8 is just a drop-in replacement for 4.7.2 with things like better high DPI support.

In that post [1] some commenters said that the backlight technology for LCDs is the hot stuff at the moment, apparently.

You don't want an OLED PC monitor because it will very quickly suffer from burn-in at the typical locations of taskbar and window controls.

I don't want my data in the hands of the NSA as much as you don't want yours in the hands of the BND, FSB, or the People's Liberation Army.

I'll give it 2 months at most until Reddit will claim that their own app is now accessible enough to shut down the other apps.

I've been developing a large Angular application and I got fed up with the flakiness of the Angular plugin in VSC. Sometimes jump to definition works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes error indicators are correct, sometimes they aren't.

With webstorm I don't have these problems. People will mock the indexing shenanigans of jetbrains IDEs but they get results. WebStorm can reliably refactor where I get anxious in VSC because it often misses some template references and webstorm's symbol search is reliable and fast.

All my career I have worked in 1-4 person offices with enough window space on one or two sides. When the sun comes around, close the blinds a bit.

It's possible, just not with open floor plans and cubicles.

In Germany all major power providers have their own charging networks and they all suck and are very expensive.

You cannot roll up to a charger and pay, no, you need an app and an account for each charging network. Then there are multiple kinds of subscriptions where each kWh costs more or less depending on the base fee and much more.

All those charging network owners threw a fit when German legislation started requiring new stations to be equipped with a card reader to accept digital payments without apps from July 2023 onwards by the way...

The biggest problem is almost always not the hosting costs but the content moderation.

Not many people like removing CP when growing past a certain size.

Mercedes' system will always give the driver a 10 seconds warning before disengaging. Enough to put away your phone and assess the situation.

I really hope it's not Discord... Discord is screaming to be next to go public and throw everything free out and then you will have to do everything all over again.

Forums before the mid-2000s were pretty cool.

These storage boxes have very narrow concurrent connection limits and are not suited for the problem in the OP without additional hardware/services.

7 billion USD for 1 GW? No so far off of some modern nuclear power plants.

Hinkley Point C is currently estimated at £32.7 billion for 3.26 GW.

That's exactly what my team did at a former company. We generated reports through a legacy document engine because some customers cannot switch/update their report templates and so we moved the logic out of the monolith into a service to get rid of a large portion of our dependencies.

Moved the monolith to .NET Core, kept the report service on .NET Framework. A win for everybody.

The only thing MS Teams has going for it is that it is included in Office 365 subscriptions. That's it.

It's a garbage product that's slowing even the fastest computers down to a crawl. And don't get me started on all the bugs. Horrible.
