You click through two menus and end up in a system wide tabbed dialog with zillions of options for controlling various kinds of window behavior for all kinds of applications....
Are any of those zillions, "remember the last size and position of the window when reopening it"? When I last went through them, that particular one was not present. But as I mentioned twice so far, I'll check out the new version.
You certainly can't complain about missing features.
I can if the feature I want is not there. Quality, not quantity.:)
I am not talking about me digging through menus to *set* the size/position, but the desktop remembering the size/position by itself when I adjust it ion the desktop. I've been down the path of having to dig through menus set the size/position on a per-window basis, and it was not enjoyable.
Perhaps that's the rub. I went digging into the window control panel and came up empty. That and other expeditions proved fruitless for me. When I checked online, I saw some comments about the feature not being present because it interfered with switching hardware while the system was running (?!?!).
.
In any case, as I said, I'll try it again. I've saved your instructions. thanks.
Do ANY Linux desktop environments save window position? I don't think any of them do. It's up to the developer of the application to handle that, under Linux....
Really? None of the Linux desktop environments do it? Wow.
.
Why should the app developer care about where on the screen the window is? It's a user's preference on how the desktop looks and is used, and, as such, it should be done via the desktop interface.
... It's one of the little "fit and finish" things that Windows and OS X do so well...
... the last time I tried out KDE, I was frustrated that I was not able to configure it to remember any window's size and position upon closing that window, so that it would be the same size/position the next time I opened it. To me, that seemed like second nature for a desktop interface.
.
The best I was able to do was to get a window to be centered on the screen when I opened it.
When an app I installed went off and emailed all my contacts to tell them that I just installed it, and told them that they should install it also --- well, that was the last straw that really turned me off to mobile apps. There is just too much data harvesting going on with web apps.
I never "just trust" the little lock icon in my address bar: I click it and see who signed it.
That's one of the reasons I use TLSA on my website. It provides another check to the validity of my cert for those people who bother to validate it via TLSA/DANE.
...The state of affairs when it comes to online advertising and scams is very bad and will kill the industry very soon if changes are not made....
Exactly correct.

The whole online advertising technical model is little more than an unfettered and insecure conduit deep into the personal ecosystem of people on the Internet.
The system was developed and is run by people who are more concerned about the number of hits an ad gets than about the security of the person's device into which they have intruded.
...Yes. As long as some kind of payment is required, it is usually possible to identify the buyer. This possibility itself is a deterrent......
Bitcoin has changed that aspect of the algorithm.
Additionally, more traditional pay methods have become so automated and inexpensive to use that it is quite easy to change payment methods on a frequent basis, effectively making tracing worthwhile only for the most egregious offenses.

Unlike most other CA's, Let's Encrypt has a very short lifetime on their certs (60 days, I believe) so that an abused cert quickly falls out of the eco-system. I've read that Let's Encrypt eventually wants to shorten that lifetime even more, to 30 days.
Most other CAs have cert lifetimes of a year (or longer). Then the question surfaces - how useful is cert revocation? Do all TLS clients check for cert revocation?

Since the evidence may be for or against the police, the video should not be collected and archived by the police.

Otherwise there is always the possibility that video which puts the police in a bad light may have gaps in coverage, or the audio may disappear, or the video itself may be "lost".
The Dad should not blame Apple for making something so easy to use that a child can use it.
.
Instead, the Dad should take responsibility for letting a child use a device without knowing how and for what purpose that child is using the device.
This is nothing but a lack of parental responsibility.
The Internet has brought a glut of information, information packed in small bite-sized pieces, e.g., text messages, tweets, social media posts, etc.
.
Such a large amount of information has to squeeze something out, imo, what has been squeezed out is a lengthy attention span. The media audience just does not have anything approaching a lengthy attention span for reading anymore.
That's why websites are so anxious to sell whatever piece of your attention span they can muster to advertisers. That's why web page advertisements constantly try to hook and reel in your attention.
It's not an Epoch time bug, it's a lazy programmer bug....

So, in other words, Outlook is going to continue to suck.
This is just another example, in a long list of examples, why the copyright laws are a joke that has grown why beyond the original intent.

What happened? Did Apple mess up its development process?
