I got around that by using Switchresx to supersample on non-Retina screens. It’s not perfect but looks better than jaggies

Why do they even do that? What’s so bad about pasting into a form? Does the person who designed the form think your password isn’t secure unless it is written on a piece of paper kept in a bank vault?

It looks like an iMac. That’s why people used to shell out big bucks for Apple-branded displays back when they were a thing

ICE Trim Extended Range and Trim Poor have the same gas tank, but Trim Poor’s firmware won’t use your last 10 liters of fuel

> Apple's mobile devices haven't been that interesting since the iPhone X / Watch Series 3. Nothing really has felt like a 'must have' upgrade. iPhone 12 & series 4 watch was definitely an improvement stylistically, but that's about it.

Toyota had a lot of trouble after the 2011 earthquake, I'm sure their decision to keep inventory is related to that

Rotten.com (really) had a great tool that showed connections between people on a graph: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NNDB

There’s a kind of person who just likes having power over others

What part of Asia? Japanese are far less prudish when compared to USA or UK et al

That's what the marketers want you to think

This article and the Sun article linked within it are extremely similar, I wonder why

Taiwan’s military is strong enough that PRC’s only route to “winning” in a war is to turn the island into a smoldering crater

Coloring names with escape codes sounds like a John Carmack feature

If you told Markus Wolf in 1989 that in 2021 most citizens in the world would write each other private and political communicatons via a tracking device that can’t be turned off, and that device has both microphones and cameras, he would raise and eyebrow and ask “How did we win the Cold War?”

A short squeeze is how Taco Bell won the fast food wars

I am sick of Dropbox advertising to me and am going to cancel my subscription. I wish there was a “leave me alone” option for paid accounts, I was perfectly happy in the days before Dropbox decided it was necessary to remind me of its existence every few days.

It’s not much choice when the site will find some way of forcing or tricking you to allow tracking

I still enjoy Jurassic Park, but can't unsee a mental image of plucked, frozen supermarket chicken every time I look at the dinosaurs

Windows ME

We’re there any returning POWs who weren’t considered to be criminals?

Modern day version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airstan_incident

Not really. If they had stayed in the camp they would have died anyway or sent to the Gulag when they got home instead of “just” being disgraced for a decade

I’ve been a Dropbox paid subscriber for many years (since it was Dropbox Pro). I’m not going to renew it. The constant upsell nagging is too much. Dropbox would be perfect if it just STFU and synced files.

One of my clients opening files I shared by Dropbox on their mobile phone successfully got dark patterned into signing up for a paid subscription. That was a fun mess to clean up. Mission accomplished?

> What happens if they actually take Taiwan? Or try?

A serious military alliance of countries in that don’t want to be dominated by China (again) but have been happy to take Chinese money until now.

Arnold Schwarzenegger smoked weed for recovery in “Pumping Iron”

In rich countries outside of the US it’s called “the government”

In “The Hidden Fortress”, which Star Wars plot and characters (minus Luke) is mostly based on, “Obi Wan” humiliates “Darth Vader” by refusing to kill him after beating him in their duel. The Emperor horribly tortures Darth Vader for losing, which convinces him to switch sides and help Obi Wan and the princess escape, and the ending is the three of them rejoining the rebellion, ready to fight another day.

Add Gary Kurtz to the list. He said the original plan for ROTJ had no Death Star, and Wookiees instead of Ewoks.

The DS was way better IMHO. I got overhyped on the GBA because of how it was marketed as a pocket SNES. Only two face buttons and the shitty sounding music were a big disappointment to me. The games did look nice, whenever it was possible to see them.

I’ve found that in themes that use WPBakery or ACF for layout is that there is definitely a happy path that involves swapping your text into one of their provided templates and calling it a day.
