Say what you want about Mozilla's propensity to shove useless features into Firefox, but I've been loving some of the recent addition to tabs management. Split-view tabs, vertical tabs, tab groups and tab pinning have made my work

I know how to disable it. I should not have to. The setting is (intentionally) confusing too: "download and keep" implies that photos always have to transit via iCloud first, and the default is ambiguously named "optimise sto

Not that it's any excuse, but Apple does something similar by saving your photos to iCloud and deleting them from your local storage without telling you. I have seen the following scenario play out twice already: - The free iCloud ti

I have never read an ending that was as sad, happy, clever and beautiful as the ending to Rise of Endymion . To this day it's one of the very few books that made me shed a tear. Now, over decade later, I am in the middle of re-reading

Oh goddamn. We keep Messenger around in my family because one family member does not use smartphones (and Whatsapp requires one to use the web interface). This is obviously an attempt to get more traffic to facebook.com, but the chat UI the

Same here. Until recently I would get maybe 1-2 spams a month, and I just got 30 in the span of a few days. They’re the very obvious, very obnoxious kind of spam, and Gmail still correctly sends them to the junk bin, so I wonder if they we

Sure, but what confidence do you have that what the "dumb" LLM says is worth any salt ? It's no different than aggregating the results of a Reddit search, or perhaps even worse because LLMs lack the intent or common sense fil

Evangelists keep insisting that healthcare is one of the things that AI will revolutionize in the coming years, but I just don't get it. To me it's not even clear what they mean by "AI" in this context (and I'm not

I should get one of those Ruuvi Tag...I use a similar cheap Xiaomi sensor currently but the battery doesn't last anywhere as long (probably because it has an LCD screen and isn't made to broadcast via BLE continuously).

The backup phone is a good idea, I do this too but unfortunately some banking apps refuse to allow more than one "authorized device" for 2FA :/

One thing I love about my Thinkpad is the dedicated middle-click button above the trackpad. Such a simple feature, but so much more reliable and convenient than two-fingers tap, three-fingers tap, corner tap, double button press, or whateve

For someone who is "increasingly bothered by the lack of rigor in the current discourse", the author sure has no qualms about using LLM outputs as primary sources. This is an immediate red flag that discredits the entire article.

In theory yes, though depending on the complexity of your game you may need to bundle a lot of userspace libraries and other programs along with your kernel to make it work. Most graphical applications expect a display server like X11 or Wa
