I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned Web MiniDisc yet. This combines the best of web (WASM) and MiniDisc, allowing you to write content to discs from the comfort of your web browser and dispense with all of the awful Sony software. http

Web MiniDisc has added new life to the format. It lets you manage the contents of a MiniDisc ..from a web browser, thanks to WASM. Add MP3s, FLACs etc. https://stefano.brilli.me/webminidisc/

I agree that the Firefox change is recent, but not Safari. Safari has had 3rd party cookies disabled for many years now.

The irony of Google purporting to protect users' privacy while at the same time: - Chrome is still shipping with 3rd party cookies turned on by default (Safari and Firefox have them off, by default) - Chrome usage stats are sent to Goo

This is true but bear in mind that you can retain a view of the traffic with any of the web analytics plug-ins supported by AMP (all of the major analytics providers are supported).

by ronancremin 10y ago
I think that AMP as technical standard is OK in that it gives developers a format to follow that insulates them from the worst loading time issues that open-ended HTML can cause (JavaScript libraries and large images in particular). The per

According to Steve Gibson (SQRL's inventor) tiQr is quite different: "It superficially appears to offer a user experience similar to SQRL. However, as is every other such system, what's going on is actually far more complex a

Speaking for DeviceAtlas in particular I can assure you that detection reliability is better than most assume. The stated 99% detection accuracy rate isn’t marketing speak—it is continously verified on real traffic from all around the world

Confusing but not an oxymoron. From the point of view of the ICE the transmission is CVT because the road speed can vary (thanks to the electric motors) whilst keeping the ICE running in the same speed band.

Worth remembering the Yogi Berra quote: "Not all who wander are lost." I think he meant it more generally than just walking around, but a nice reminder nonetheless.

The author reaches a trite conclusion uninformed by facts. The user agent string is used by at least 90+% of the Alexa 100 to improve user experience. There is a silent evidence problem here. Successful use of the user agent string improves

Why? Because it can help improve the user experience (page payload, image sizes etc). There's a good reason why Google, Facebook, Netflix, eBay, Yahoo, BBC, Amazon etc. do it. It's also part of RFC 1945 (HTTP 1.0) and RFC 2616 (RFC 1.1). No
