What is your favorite web browser? (Windows, MacOS, Linux, etc.)
  • Ya basically the one that works on the most sites while also not being a PITA.

    Being older than the internet and having used mosaic, Netscape navigator, IE, Firefox, Chrome, several short lived mobile browsers and tried Opera a few times. Can’t say I have a favourite as any browser I like that becomes popular also tends to become bloated and slow over time.

    HACS
  • The ones I need, otherwise I always prefer core HA elements if possible.

    With recently UI improvements in HA I have actually removed several HACS

    Proposed Canada Post price hike could make sending mail more expensive
  • "Every year, there are fewer letters to deliver to more addresses, adding significant cost pressures to the Corporation on top of continued inflationary pressures," stated Canada Post.

    I wonder how long before it becomes a parcel only service.

    How could you best spent one million dollars, to materially help the world in a lasting way?
  • 1 million dollars doesn't go that far these days, at the world scale it is almost nothing.

    You could however make a lasting difference in your community by making a scholarship, building needed facilities, or doing something else where you directly make sure the funds go where needed and can't be used for other uses. Lets face it, if you give it to some charities 90% of it will just go to the administration.

    Would you think less of a potential partner if they didn't know first aid?
  • Other than the basics NO.

    The exception would be if you are into a lot of outdoor adventure / climbing / mountain biking / hiking where it will just be the two of you on an adventure. Then it is critical.

    If most of your life is in a uban setting it isn't a common or critical skill I would expect.

    Worst PC hardware trends that disappeared
  • Blower fans had a technical reason to exist that isn’t very relevant anymore.

    It used to be to keep the card profile low so you could have other PCI card slots populated. However these days everything including Wifi can be found pre populated on the motherboard. It is rare you put in any additional PCI cards in modern personal systems.

    Worst PC hardware trends that disappeared
  • Ya acrylic side cases where a trend, maybe 3D monitors but everything else in there was just specific technology that has been replaced by better technology..

    Haiku OS is what Linux used to be.
  • Reading through the comments on the video, the only "used to be" part the video creator is talking about is that it is a alien hobby OS that hardly anyone uses or knows about. Don't take that as a negative but he is just talking about the feels. Other than that technically their isn't a lot in common with Linux from the past.

    How good is the Steam Deck really? (Not a gamer)
  • The funny thing is that we started buying MORE games after getting it and filtering steam for the ones that work best.

    It completely replaced the Nintendo Switch as our party platform, we have been adding piles of local multi player games to it and using multiple Xbox controllers with it docked around the main TV most of the time.

    I think when it comes to how many titles work it is going to depend on your gaming preferences. If you play a lot of EA games or Ubisoft games it is clunky to get their store loaders going sometimes or at a min you get prompted to sign in via onscreen keyboard which is a PITA sometimes and there is lower support.

    Steam native games however are great.

    Steam Deck SteamOS 3.6.10 Beta 'Tenth time's the charm' fixes some real nuisances
  • Our steamdeck gets the most use connected to an external display with us playing local multiplayer games, the blank screen sleep / resume issues being fixed will be really nice, I am tired of having to fiddle with it every few sessions.

    Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads
  • For all the firefox fans out there it might be good to note there have consistently been more Safari users than Firefox users since 2014. Hell Safari has been the number two browser by market share since 2015.

    Browsers have to get very SHITTY or a new browser has to have a killer app to unseat a dominate one.

  • There are several common words and terms I would like to stop seeing posts about but only in specific communities. Having the words or terms blocked in other communities or global matches too many things.

    It would also be nice for the filter to be Title, URL or body specific.

    I was recently trying to get some of the 4 player local games I have to work remotely.. Some have native multiplayer but with limitations (castle crashers only lets two local and two remote players play) bople battle only allows one local player in remote multi player mode.

    However for both the above I was able to get remote play together working which basically let me map the remote player to a controller and play the game in local mode.

    This however only worked on these games, I THINK they are linux native.. Games that didn't work / provide no controller mapping for remote play together Streets of rage 4, TMNT Redders revenge did not work. These games show support for remote play together in the steam library but I suspect the limitation is on the steam deck?

    Anyone else have experience with Remote Play Together on the steam deck? It is nice as the remote party doesn't need a copy of the game and as noted gets around some of the multi player limits of some games.

    Any suggestions? Alternatives? Tweaks?

    www.ctvnews.ca Moneris resolves temporary processing issue after 'network outage'

    Major Canadian payment processing firm Moneris, responsible for widely-used debit and credit machines, resolved its issue with processing transactions after experiencing a network outage on Friday afternoon.

    Wouldn't be the holiday shopping season without some payment processing outages.

    Due to variable subject length and these items being part of the same line as the subject they get pushed around a lot which makes them hard to see find when scrolling through history.

    Would be nice if these links / scores where at the front of the subject OR the "next line" to be consistent.
