I generally avoid extensions that can read all sites (even if technically necessary), so use the suggestion found here [1] instead. A few bookmarklets: javascript:(function(){if (location.host.endsWith('x.com')) location.host=&#x2

What's wrong with the title? Seems 100% accurate, and the article itself was well quoted to demonstrate it.

Yes, same company. Appears they really like the name and want to repurpose it for something shinier.

Sad to see it go, has been by RSS reader for many years and haven't found a replacement that does multi-column like they do.

It seems that many don't realize at least Samsung and LG both have an option (albeit buried deep in the menu structure) to turn off the smart TV functionality. One of the first things I did on my new set. It now powers up set to a sing

What do you use for a capture device? I'm currently using a Tivo Roamio (with lifetime subscription) and love it, but it's at least 7-8 years old so thinking about what's next. Only real complaint is remote viewing needs a re

#1 - Yes, much better! For #4, I expected it work more like HN does, where it shows 30 articles but has a more button to get 31-60 and so on. At least 3 pages would be nice for those of us who keep reading past the first page.

Great idea, I would also regularly use this with a few tweaks: 1) Main one - Separate stories more clearly. Maybe slightly outdent, enlarge, or bold the title, or add a little more space between stories so they don't all run together.

After using a 3rd gen for 8 years, I just replaced my Nest 3rd gens with Ecobee Premiums. Used to be a proud Nest user, they even shaped my choice of a new home HVAC system to be something compatible. However, they (and their software) have

Regardless of the passionate feelings against Spotify, it's hard to dispute their basic premise that Apple is deliberately creating a bad user experience just to preserve their walled content garden. The same thing applies to not being

I've switched from Firefox to Edge in the past year and it's been a marked improvement. I like the cross platform compatibility and syncing works great among Mac/Windows/iOS. Edge started really poorly but has developed

I read the title and had a vision of a "community" built in a mail - where you would walk out of your apartment and be able to visit your local coffee bar, diner, park, grocery store, etc all within a mall. That sounded fabulous a

It's much easier to state that HW is "Windows 11 ready" vs saying something like HW is "Windows 10 build 2110 ready"

Same story in the US. Back in the day there were multiple price engines that were super effective at finding the best price. I remember PriceGrabber and even Google Shopping being really useful. I think the affiliate links destroyed them al

Seems like an easy fix is to only sell prepaid burger cards. Set some number - 10x, 20x, etc. the cost of a burger. Keeps the locals able to frequent regularly and highly discourages anyone coming just to cross it off a list.

Well said... Two more I would add to your list of things to fix - 1) Windows always starts out great, but in a couple of years needs a reinstall to get performance back. It needs a way to really uninstall and not depend on an app to make it

Non-dev here, but does this replace/overlap with TFS? What was the driver to adopt Git?

Anyone seen anything similar on Roboform? Been using them for years but I wonder how much vulnerability testing it has gotten.

You would hope zero, but there are many Citrix or Terminal Services applications and virtual desktops that give remote users a limited (at least as much as IE6/IE8 allows) browsing experience.

It's because Windows 2003 support ends on July 14th, 2015, and Microsoft is enforcing a browser upgrade to the latest available version (IE8) even for Custom Support Agreements that take effect after that date. So in order for any cust

The WinSXS bloat has been fixed in the latest versions, so the disk space required for an OS is more or less static now, barring any new functionality that requires new files.
