FYI web extension "Old Reddit Redirect" was just updated. Restores anonymous access and old reddit. I looked under the hood and it's just setting a "redesign_optout" cookie, so I'd say our days are numbered reg

My guess for privacy and anti-tracking is that trying to resist fingerprinting is, ironically, very fingerprintable.

Uh oh. Should I grab an iPhone now before those prices are raised?

Don't get your hopes up. The industry is well underway in migrating everything possible away from native apps to Electron.

Doesn't matter that's it's a myth, it's salient and has become a layperson talking point. This is an official post on nvidia.com that can be quoted: "The NVIDIA DSX reference design for AI factories has zero water c

>Other Chromium-based browsers like Opera and Microsoft Edge could soon follow suit too. Although it is not specified, Edge began disabling uBlock Origin back in February Cmon, it's in the article.

Thinking that Gmail thinks anything about you is giving them too much credit. The only reason for any of this is the desperation to juice their AI usage metrics.

For real. There has to be an RSS fan high up in the company, because RSS allows users to bypass the very thing YT are pushing so hard for i.e. recommendations and shorts.

Yes, it's very good. However, basically-every-current-multiplayer-shooter is a big missing category.

> At the start of the year, Microsoft generated a lot of goodwill among Windows 11 fans when it announced its big plan to fix the operating system in 2026 The only thing generated was boatloads of incredulity and some laughs.

So why did they make taskbar bottom only in the first place? Too difficult to implement? Branding? No room for ads when it's vertical?

I'm in the same boat, have to use Windows at work. In addition to whatver MS is doing, every workstation is encumbered with various EDR and antivirus software.

For sure, but 11 is on a whole new level in my experience.

Too late, idiots. Just as Windows 10 was being retired, you ran the craziest anti-marketing campaign I've ever seen and successfully coaxed me into switching my daily driver to Linux. Until this year, I've been using windows my EN

Author seems to enjoy writing posts that get lots of votes on site that I would describe as eye-rending, especially the "normal" yellow color scheme. It's aggressively unpleasant to read.

There are three browsers: FF, Chrome, Safari. I'm not on Apple so FF is the least worst option.

I use Firefox because I don't want to use a browser provided by an advertising company e.g. Chrome.

It's simple advertising. People have a higher chance to use a product if it is advertised to them. I don't think there is a microsoft app these days that doesn't have a copilot logo visible in it at all times (even Paint).

>Windows itself is about to change in a really big way such that it already requires AI-specific hardware The AI models that everyone wants to use are cloud based. What is the purpose of AI hardware on users' machine?

by protoster 10mo ago
Nothing. MS decision makers are fulfilling their duty to maximize profit by utilizing Windows to funnel users towards their most profitable, revenue generating, services of Azure and Office Copilot 365.

This is often the case with Google products because the A/B testing is rampant.
