shinji97on New Windows 10 Devices From Microsoft

didn't find out why but resizing the browser (from fullscreen to something smaller) fixed this issue. Of course you can resize it back to fullscreen afterwards.

shinji97on “In-browser and email notifications as you near the 300 GB per month limit”

I feel your pain... $10 for extra 50G sounds so much reasonable than what we are paying...

btw if you are with Rogers, I believe they can give you unlimited data for $30/month, or $10 if you are also using their TV and home phone.

shinji97on Simple user styles for popular websites

A problem I found with dark-background sites is that majority of the website use light background with dark text. As a viewer, switching from a dark-background website to a light-background-text can be a little painful, especially after spending a long period of time on the darker page.

shinji97on Ask HN: What laptop should I buy?

+1 for "staying away from HP", seems like everyone around me with a HP runs into hardware problems (maybe that's the reason why they are slightly cheaper?)

My favourite would be Dell, they just released 15z a while ago, seems pretty nice.

I would also recommand Lenovo, Asus and Toshiba. I'm using a Toshiba Satellite A660 at work, pretty quiet and stays cool.

shinji97on I don't know how to IE6

The only sites that should support IE6 are the download pages for the newer browsers.
