    You think FACEBOOK has been too small and without have enough ressources to remove anything Flash-related for the last decade?

    What is hosts file and how do you block things in it?

    Oh shit, now you've done it.

    Prepare for hosts-related spamming in this thread! Everyone take cover!

    And some places won't sell anything even if they could, because it's all tied into their inventory systems.

  4. You can have my paper money when you pry it out of my cold dead mattress.

    Even with the /sarcasm, it sounds strange. Was your mattress alive at one point?

    I have also not seen paper money in years.

    p.s.: I'm Canadian.

  7. I wasn't sure WTF I was reading, I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one.

  8. The more generic form is "the longer I live, the more I think most people are idiots".

  9. We don't go around calling your cities "Nouveau York" or "Laveington/Laverton".

    It's spelled "épée" not "epee".

  10. Reasonable and non-discriminatory licensing on Qualcomm Urges US Regulators To Reverse Course, Ban Some iPhones (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    The core issue here is Reasonable and non-discriminatory licensing. Qualcomm has patents on what is considered to be the best (if not the only) way for that wireless stuff.

    You may like or you may hate both Apple and/or Qualcomm, but let's discuss the real problem: is Qualcomm trying to screw Apple on the price because they're bigger than the other manufacturers, or is Apple trying to screw Qualcomm on the price because they're bigger than the other manufacturers?

    All I can understand is... it's what other browsers call "history"?

    Which is why every audio professional I know uses Amiga and Atari ST computers.

    Between this, and the other Mac issues (keyboard, audio), looks like my next MacBook Pro may be a Dell Latitude model.

    So apart from the thermal throttling, the flat cable display problems, the keyboard with a lack of travel and dust rendering keys unusable, audio lag/glitches, T2 locking down the internal SSD and the low-res blurry webcam of the 2018 MacBook Air, everything is okay!

    Sent from my 2010 Mac mini, which I upgraded myself.

    Yes.

    I call that "functionality through obscurity".

  19. Re:Buttons on Android Q May Change the Back Button To a Gesture (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    A swipe is easier because it uses the touch display that's already needed. It doesn't cost anything, it doesn't take any room, it can't break unless the display itself breaks.

    A physical button adds complexity, adds cost, adds manufacturing time, adds a potential failure point and takes a lot more room than a swipe gesture (which takes no room at all).

    If you're willing to move up into first person, there's nothing like Portal.

    Except, of course, Portal 2. Which is a lot better and a lot longer. My only hope is that they never make a movie, it's a story that has to be experienced to be appreciated.
