  1. Yes, posting from Vivaldi now.

    It's the best I've tried.

  2. Re:User Interface on While Chrome Dominates, Microsoft Edge Struggles To Attract New Users (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    Try Windows 10S!

    It's a real product that exists and Microsoft is pushing right now!

    And the default browser is locked to Microsoft Edge and cannot be changed. You can install other browsers, but every link you click in an email, or in a store, or in a notification, or anything is going to take you right back to Edge.

    The future!

  3. Man, you missed an opportunity to throw his own statement back at him.

    "And with that your credibility is gone."

  4. Hi, you're talking about an entirely different processor architecture (Bulldozer).

    Zen (the basis for Ryzen and Epyc) is a clean sheet design.

  6. Yes, unfortunately I did have to recopy everything.

    As soon as you unlock the bootloader, the phone is wiped.

  7. I feel like there's some huge logical disconnect in your mind here.

  8. Can someone just post a table of the results they got. Not watching a stupid video for information I could absorb in 15 seconds from text.

  9. My wife's OPO is now running Lineage. That stock Cyanogen hasn't been supported since Cyanogen went belly up (but it was right until then).

    The Lineage update was fairly seemless (except having to hold a button combo after flashing the recovery image or it wipes and replaces with stock again, that part was annoying to figure out, but now fixed forever).

    Because Lineage is just an extension/fork of Cyanogen, support for the OPO is flawless under it.

    Or just get a Neato.

    I've had an XV-11 for 6 years, and it's still an impressive piece of technology.

  11. Re:I'm not seeing multiple processes on Firefox 54 Arrives With Multi-Process Support For All Users (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Looks like (on my machine at least) when I upgraded, the process count setting was 1. Maybe it only defaults to 4 on fresh installs?

    Go to about:config -> dom.ipc.processCount

    Check if it's set to 1, or 4.

  12. Android version on Firefox 54 Arrives With Multi-Process Support For All Users (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Now if they would just make the Android version multiprocess as well.

    It's a real pig compared to Chrome, but it's the only Android browser I know of that supports plugins like uBlock and Disable HTML5 Autoplay.

  13. Yep, that killed it for me, too.

    If you're trying to break into a market, try at least not coming in with fewer features than nearly every other player.

    "Thin"

  14. I mean, 68% of millennials are under the age of 30, right?

    And 44% are under the age of 25?

    I mean, assuming the range of 1981-2000.

    These numbers don't seem terrible unless you're a boomer who could get a good paying factory job out of high school or something.

  15. Re:Switched to Vivaldi on Former Mozilla CTO: 'Chrome Won' (andreasgal.com) · · Score: 1

    Replying from Vivaldi.

    Nothing more to add that you didn't already say, except "me too."

  16. Re:Portland Art Museum on PayPal Sues Pandora Over 'Patently Unlawful' Logo (billboard.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, they'd better sue Pandora before they lose their trademark on it.

    Trademarks have to be actively defended.

  17. Re:LEDs lighting is cheaper, but it's also better on New Evidence of a Decline In Electricity Use By U.S. Households (wordpress.com) · · Score: 1

    I mean, I've been seeing stuff like this in Costco for a couple years now:
    https://www.costco.com/Altair-..."-Flushmount-Light-Fixture.product.100354669.html

    But people have their floor and table lamps, or don't want to replace every fixture in their house, or (worse) their house was built in the late 60s and doesn't even have wiring for ceiling fixtures.

  18. Re:Interesting on Should You Leave Google Chrome For the Opera Browser? (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    This for sure.

    Opera was the first software I ever paid for! But after 12.15, the switch to Chrome made it totally unappealing. It lost its configurability, etc.

    That's when I jumped to Vivaldi and never looked back. It's the real "Opera on Blink" that Opera Software ASA should have released. Lots of configuration options (though still not quite back to the level of the old Opera), fast, and stable.

    I like.

  19. It's not really Opera anymore anyway.

    They sold off Opera to another company that is just running a Chrome skin. It doesn't seem to offer much extra reason to use it over Chrome.

    Vivaldi is where the Opera people went. If you liked Opera 12.x, you'll like Vivialdi well enough. Still not quite back where the old Opera was, but getting close. And with a rendering engine that doesn't choke on 50% of modern websites.

  20. If you're talking about sidewalks, it's illegal here (and most places) to ride a bike on them.
