I mean I consider all the big tech companies evil, but somehow meta consistently manages to raise the bar in that discipline. I don't understand how any dev left at that company doesn't feel like a spineless POS. And I don't

Yeah this, although it seems to have slowed down I development. Last time I checked, scrolling was really laggy on Linux, and the according bug report was quite old. Man I wish I had more free time to dig into stuff like that.

Huh I'm also on i3 but I never run into this problem. If any program would start stealing focus I'd just uninstall it and yell at the author/vendor.

Haven't used windows in a decade, but there is (was?) a registry setting that would disable focus stealing prevention. Some egregious tools "helpfully" changed that setting for you when you installed them, because they couldn

Appliances that only have touch controls and make beeping sounds for every button pre^Wtouch. UX design has truly peaked. >:(

Yep, on the rare occasion I deal with someone who uses Microsoft for email, I give them a heads-up that they probably miss an email every now and then. I remember my last employer's mails often didn't reach them, and at some point

What terminal are you using that doesn't support a mouse? Or is it emacs that doesn't have mouse support?

Made that experience once ca. 2011. I hosted a Minecraft server ona box with raid1. The "cool" part was that I ran a cronjob that rendered the map to a png file once and hour, and at some point a friend asked why there were holes

Yes, happens occasionally. I just wiggle it left/right or up/down so I can see where it is. No big deal. But put of curiosity I might still try that one day, with a more subtle effect though. ;)

You can use that app in different ways: 1) you dated a guy on tinder, he became all pushy on your first date, touched you inappropriately even though you said no. Or some guy became violent during your relationship and you even found out he

Most annoying to me is Google maps. On web it is wasting so much more screen real-estate when showing a route, I can barely see the map itself. The app has much smaller ui components. (android)

Yup, though it's been never such a good run for them by far. Granted things were moving much faster back then overall, but amd has been dominating for 7 years now.

I mean, I get the idea that you want to skip the whole configure step for webcam/mic if it's embedded somewhere, but I still expect cam/mic to be muted on join. Isn't that what most conferencing tools do, no matter wheth

To add to the pile: - The web client doesn't load any images/media anymore for me in new sessions. I log in, I cross authenticate with another client, no images load. At work I've a very old browser session going and everythi

Imo it wasn't that bad, but maybe that was just because code-centric sites like github didn't exist yet. It tried to provide you with a simple landing page for your open source project that can offer you a download button, centere

Fuck secure boot. A fun project, even if mostly for educational purposes, would be to collect all the different exploits that have been found over the past years and try to create a universal secure boot bypass loader that targets as many o

Most important reasons imo: 1) even though reality has proven us wrong time and time again, we can just not look at the dependency too closely and just act as if it's written and maintained by competent, caring people and is of highest

Cool project, kudos to the devs, even though (as other comments say) it seems rather pointless. Some things better stay in the past while you enjoy the nostalgia once in a honeymoon.

I think that was the first case (to go public), but I remember reading about this in game magazines a couple times after this, for both ATI and nvidia.

This is not what the article is talking about. It's talking about how the EOCD contains both the size of the central directory and the offset of the start of the central directory, which is redundant. So we end up with some tools honor

Like everything, this goes in cycles. When the iPhone launched, its UI was touted as revolutionary; simple, discoverable, not the convoluted mess that a typical windows experience was. "lol lolyou have to click start to power off y

Today I used chatgpt for winapi stuff - it made up structs and enums regarding display config. So not too convinced it'll be any good with 6502 asm.

I currently use photoprism, but it's moving rather slowly. Facial recognition misses a lot of faces, the automatic clustering works fine at first but once you tagged a few thousand faces the implementation grinds to a halt and the ba

I stumbled upon that feature in the (MS-DOS based) bios flashing utility for some mainboard, via some command line option. Just don't remember which one it was, it was ages ago.

Then you can't tell it apart from systems that were actually built by Asus. But given that most smaller shops don't seem to have access to the tool anyways, we'd then just have the opposite situation.

by iforgotpassword 1y ago
But that's exactly the point. Computer shops that sell complete systems are supposed to put their name in the "system manufacturer" field. If you bought the mainboard yourself and built your own system, then who do you think
