What is up with huge screen sizes anymore? Before you had the galaxy S with a good size screen and left the bigger screens for the Note and Mega series. Now even the Galaxy S line is a monster to hold in hand, I guess my last Galaxy will be the S7 since its still had a sane and manageable display size.
Another, KB4038806, was a "critical" patch for Adobe Flash Player that allowed remote code execution.
People still keep Adobe Flash on their system?
Flash rocks! I play about a dozen flash based games, and on my netbooks flash videos are faster, use less memory and smoother then html5 videos. Heck I was watch full screen flash animation videos on my old Pentium 133.
I call bullshit! I can play Flash games and animations on a lowly Pentium 166mhz, And on my netbooks its faster and uses less memory at playing video than HMTL5.
I mean, it's not like Flash is one of the most widely used channels of attack across the entire spectrum of malwar, oh wait...
Shit.
Nevermind.
NPAPI Flash on Linux has always been updated getting updates nearly 6 to 10 times a year for the past few years. And its not like there not attacks on HTML and JS, more prone to malware suring with JS and using HTML than using flash.
Yes! Startpage and Ixquick are so much better than DDG in terms of privacy and search results, it a shame that somehow DDG got all the attention over them.
Palemoon is a thing that exists. If you're a Windows user, it's clearly the best way forward for those seeking refuge from Mozilla's mismanagement.
I'm not sure what Thunderbird needs. As far as I can tell, it's fine. It's not buggy and all the features I want to use work. Other than security fixes, what more do I want out of a mature mail client?
Palemoon is a slower, buggier, less secure and outdated fork of Firefox. Palemoon is good for the ignorant mouth breathers out there.
The Australis UI was the first step. Now this. Soon, a looming XUL deprecation which is an even worse idea -- I wonder what's the point of using Firefox will be then.
XUL needs to die, XUL and XPCOM is why extensions break every time there is a update to the browser. Heck even the guys that invented XUL and XPCOM say that its outdated ad crappy.
Good I say! Skype is nothing more than a spyware laden proprietary chat/messaging system with hostile government backdoors. The longer the system is down the longer its users can investigate freer and safer alternatives that have end to end user encryption.
My favorite feature of Firefox is load background tabs on demand, its a shame other browsers do not have this. I can start up Firefox with 200 tabs from the previous session and it starts up nice and quick, with other browsers if I did this I could go make a pot of coffee and it browser would still be loading when I came back.
I'm not sure if anyone commenting on this story is actually Canadian, but the Canadian Content mandate has existed for years. It's not about favouring Canadian production companies so much as encouraging Canadian content for cultural reasons. Being so close to the USA leaves us vulnerable to sort of being swamped, culturally.
Radio stations are required to play a certain amount of Canadian music as well. It's not really anything new.
Personally, I like the idea of that. It encourages and funds a lot of Canadian artists that might otherwise get swamped out of the market by monied American interests.
It just proves so called Canadian culture, art, music sucks and cannot stand on it own two feet. Canada would rather have American culture than its own shitty home grown crap.
I used ZFS under FreeBSD its was good for a few months until it got slow and I needed to defrag it, oh no ZFS is too good for a defrag tool so I zapped it and installed Debian with XFS, much much more faster and it comes with a online defrag tool.
One of the few reasons I stick to ext4 and XFS under Linux too! I got burned by having no way to defrag JFS, ReiserFS or UFS/FFS under the BSD's.
I personally think Anandtech does overtly good reviews of Intel CPUs. I think they never gave AMD a fair shot. Having said that I think it's one of the best resources for computer hardware reviews in addition to tomshardware, overclock.net.
AMD processors are just simply slower and their fastest can *barely* keep up with an i5 . I know the truth hurts, but there you have it.
AnandTech was and is still shills for Intel and Nvidia through out its history. Just shameful untruthful bentmark after bentmark. I would never trust an astroturfing site like AnandTech, they are liars and cons.

Why would vinyl want to degrade to CD quality?
Surely you jest!
No its hardware/main-broad problem.

Fake News? Like Republicans are any closer to being Libertarians than Democrats.
Democrat run cities seem to be the worst, you can check the stats on that one.
San Diego, Austin, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Jose, Charlotte all have Democrat Mayors they seem to be doing well.
No, Flash was a resource hog. .

Html5 video is slower than Flash video on my systems. YMMV
Windows is Microkernel based as well.
the WIndows NT kernel is about as much of a microkernel as Linux is.

Pale Moon is Firefox for those who like slower, crappier browsers.
Firefox is just a clone of Chrome at this point.
Using that logic Chrome is just a clone of Firefox at this point.

OpenBSD and it's security is vastly overrated. FreeBSD and Linux are more Secure than OpenBSD has ever been.
Currently I'm evaluating PaleMoon.
LOL a slower, buggy and less secure wanabe fork of Firefox.

Seriously, it's better.
Umm no its not. It's a hacked together outdated fork that is slower and more crash prone than Firefox plus a ton of add-ons do not work with it.

Amen to that!
Ubuntu is just another in a long list of Linux distribution sellouts sucking Lennart Poettering's tainted jizz coated code.
Gentoo, Slackware, BSD please save us.
