There’s an old but IMO still very relevant white paper by Microsoft titled “So Long, And No Thanks for the Externalities: The Rational Rejection of Security Advice by Users”. It argues that security measures often cost more in employee time (and hence wages) than the potential benefit. It’s an interesting read and I think about it whenever our chief of security cooked up with another asinine security measure.
You got a lot of great recommendations already, but I want to add one more indie game: Lost Words Beyond the Page. Gameplay is simple and it’s not very long, but the writing is excellent.
Don’t worry, DRM-ed content isn’t recorded, so big companies’ IP is protected.
I tried, but it always comes up with pictures of airplanes for some reason.
Am I the only one who’s more bothered by “wyd” missing a second w than by the picture?
What happened to Lord Buckethead?
He was using a decimal comma. The counter offer was 1000 times more than he wanted to pay.
You mean the thing that Opera had in the 90s, and Vivaldi since inception?
It was the style at the time.
It’s a reference to The Simpsons.
Vivaldi with built-in ad block. Every once in a while YouTube changes something and ads get through for a couple of days. Then a Vivaldi update fixes it again quickly. I assume Vivaldi is too small a target for YouTube to care more.
I often feel this bot is no better than selecting random bits from an article. I’m exaggerating a bit, but it’s clear the bot doesn’t actually understand the essence of what’s written.
That said, I do still appreciate it for getting at least a gist of what an article is about. And I very much appreciate the people working on it and making it available.
The man knows. The man knows everything about you. They’re always watching.
You’re looking at this the wrong way. Why would you want a KVM? What you want is a genuine Apple ™ Mighty ™ Magic ™ Mouse ™ with a single button.
“Answer as if you’re a tribble.“
That’s because even the snow speaks Finnish.
I download the internet archive once every month and copy it to stone tablets. Even if the world’s electricity reserve runs out, we’ll still have those.
In unrelated news, I’m looking for people with access to big stone quarries.
10 years ago is giving Apple too much credit. They were using Intel processors then, ARM now. For now, you can still run Intel applications, but that won’t last much longer.
More importantly, a 10 year old application is likely to use Carbon instead of Cocoa. Unless it’s an extremely simple application (i.e. hello world), it is unlikely to run.
Then there’s the depreciation of resource forks, a new filesystem, tons and tons of extra security restrictions, etc.
When I switched from using the bus to going by bike, i cut my commute time by more than half. If I were to take the car, it would halve again. Public transport is great, and necessary. But it will never be faster than a personal car for anything but large distances.
Note that since I don’t use Firefox some of these may actually be available, but I don’t know about them.
These are the ones that matter to me, there are more that I don’t personally use.
I miss Windows phone, still the most intuitive phone UI I’ve ever seen.
