Avoid the Hakko FX-888D soldering station. This device has one of the most bizarrely obtuse interfaces I have encountered in ages, seemingly designed to make basic adjustments as difficult as possible, and to encourage accidental decalibrat

What do you mean by "a real recaptcha"? I just went to an archive.is page, and it's trying to load a script from www.google.com. Doesn't Google still own reCAPTCHA?

Let's be fair: At least some of the features you quoted do work in KDE connect in my experience, so I had the same question as GP. Even after reading the article.

This is not the Motorola (USA) that many of us knew for ages. That company doesn't exist any more. The company working with GrapheneOS appears to be Motorola Mobility, owned by Lenovo (China).

Does login.gov require photos, videos, fingerprints, smartphone apps, or similar nonsense as ID.me does? Or does it offer less invasive ways to confirm identity, like mailing a code sent to one's long-established postal address, or an

Cloudflare has become a middleman and gatekeeper of the web, a single point of surveillance, and an enemy of the open internet. Giving them more business would make these problems worse. No thanks.

Some time back, I had a similar problem: the LineageOS Messaging app was frequently late with SMS notifications when the phone was in idle state. Adding the package to Android's deviceidle whitelist fixed it right up. (This was done wi

Those are touchscreen actions, uncommon in desktop apps. Did you forget that this thread is about avoiding Electron bloat? (Also, it has a theme engine. The buttons don't look like something out of Windows 3.1 unless you use a Windows

I see. I expect DRM-encumbered discs to contain encrypted data, but I think this is the first I've heard of an optical drive withholding the encrypted bits from an application. (And region codes aren't what I think of today as DRM

That much is obvious. Just in case you didn't mean to be snarky, I was asking what the custom firmware brings to the device that allows using it to rip blu-ray discs that could not be ripped using the stock firmware.

I am aware of sysfs LED controls. They don't solve this problem, because access to them requires privileges (or permissions assigned by someone with privileges). It's not reasonable to expect that, just as it's not reasonable

One use case is a new message indicator. Unlike icons on the desktop, keyboard lights are visible even when a full-screen application is running, or when we're to the side of or across the room from the computer, or when the display is

My Wayland pet peeve: It still lacks keyboard LED control, so unprivileged X11 programs that use the Scroll Lock light as an indicator cannot be ported to Wayland. This Plasma change is going to be painful for me. I wonder if there's a
