Wow that was a blast from the past. I remember hanging out on the K-Lite forums back in the day and when a new release was exciting.

On Ventura here, and it only does that if you click the app icon on the dock or use Alt-Tab to switch apps. If you just click a window it does not bring all of the other windows from that app to the front.

You really think Apple's success with the iPhone is because of them manufacturing them in China? That has nothing to do with it, as hardware pricing is not why Windows Phone failed or even why Android is declining. If anything, Apple w

This is on par for Meta. Don't forget that Cheryl Sandberg was their Democratic Party liaison.

This reminds me of how as times changed, once illegal behaviors are now considered normal because "big tech" embraced it. Remember Kazaa, BonziBuddy, Gator (The OG adware), etc.? They were demonized for collecting data on all the

I've just encountered this happening today, except instead of something complex like coding, it was editing a simple Word document. I gave it about 3 criteria to perform. Each time, the GPT made trivial mistakes that clearly didn'

The music industry is 100% invested in streaming music services, so they don't care if Apple offered high-capacity iPhones cheaply. Rather, it's Apple who has intentionally been keeping storage capacity low for 2 reasons: 1.) Push

I've also read of exploits which found ways to burn out the Macbook LED light by somehow messing with the power being supplied to the webcam without damaging the camera. Thus afterward, the LED light no longer powers on when in use but

99% chance it will not stay alive for more than 1-2 years. Shazam is the only Apple acquisition I know of that still exists independently, and that's only because it promotes Apple Music on Android. Most likely will be integrated into

I'm still waiting for tech to return to the decades of UI/UX design guidelines they all ditched during what I call The (Not-So) Great Flattening. Actionable items were indicated by a button, highlight, or underline (hyperlink!). A

I don't think so. Mac sales have only grown and the whole "you need a Mac for creative work" hasn't been a thing since the 00's. I think this is more about having the team put advanced photo editing features into th

Thank you!! I pay for Office 365 to use desktop Word even though I'm a very basic user of it. I'm well aware that LibreOffice exists and serves most of my needs, and that Word Online and Google Docs could serve my needs. But they&

Part of the movie's point is that Mark wanted to be accepted and "cool" so badly, that he was willing to do whatever it took in his own way to achieve that. Even at the expense of things most others wouldn't give for it,

What data is left behind even after GDPR deletion? For example, data that is merely disassociated with your account but will forever live in their system.

For software engineering, I have heard stories from all around about the PIP culture due to an 8-12% mandatory URA quota. This results in gaslighting and forced firings to engineers that have a history of performing well. I personally know

That's the point. It was a sarcastic response to point out how ridiculous it sounds.

Ok, so your company ended up raising salaries because you were underpaying. That certainly wouldn't be the case if you found out your salaries were ABOVE average. You'd keep it the same at best, but most likely lower it. That&#x27

Google Voice was also supposed to revolutionize how many parts of cell phone service were to be provided -- signing in to an account instead of SIM cards, multiple phone numbers on one device, visual voicemail, advanced calling features. An

Apparently Google and finance firms are the ones that still ask dynamic programming. If any non-FAANG company is asking that, especially startups, I'd tell them to get off their high horse.

Honestly, the value in most business software isn't the actual technology. It's the customer base and data held by the platforms. Someone could already easily clone HubSpot relatively cheaply even if they hired developers, but tha

Back in the day, piracy was seen as a symbol of free speech and censorship much like how abortion is still a symbol for women's rights today. The premise was that these services didn't actually perform the piracy, its users did. K

The FOMO would only work if the content was exclusively available during that livestream, and not re-posted later. That being said, I think the last thing society needs is to make these platforms more addictive. The algorithms already do a

Apple's longstanding App Store guidelines always forced a certain level of "quality" and good customer experience, yet they're now allowing apps that are the exact opposite. Most of these apps use dark UX patterns to tri

You could say the same about "Chromebooks" -- but that doesn't matter anymore. Thanks to Chromebooks dominating schools and Google's general ubiquity, almost everyone knows what Chrome is if you've used a computer i

Very ironic coming from the same party that claims they need to "protect democracy". They aren't even allowing "open and fair" elections in their own candidate selection process, yet we're supposed to believe t

I completely agree, especially with the taking away the creative part and leaving us with the chores. Doctors have exams, residencies, and limited licenses to give out to protect their industry. Meanwhile, tech companies will give an engine

It's already become the norm in Big Tech for layoffs to avoid filing WARN notices.
