Thank you for answering

Hey, everyone! I found the grumpy old guy!

So, is the Bible saying you shouldn't swear oath on a Bible?

Sadly, this is true. And some are eventually drafted into the standard.

"Chrome standards"? Those are not standards. Those are things Chrome builds on their own.

How many Gb do you have on and how much do you pay for that S3 bucket? I'm thinking of doing that but I wonder what'll be the cost. I'm not sure what to put on the AWS calculator, becasue it depends on usage and whatnot!

I have been doing that for years as a nomad of sorts, but it kills your back. I recently bought a small keyboard so I can get a better posture and I recommend you so the same.

Why an app? An app has much more control over your phone without your knowledge. And this is also about desktop browsers, where there's less apps.

I loathe notifications and turn 99% of them off, but there are use cases for this and I'm glad that Apple has finally caved in to better support web apps and not only their walled garden.

Indeed! I don't know now, but Chrome didn't have that option at the time.

Pull to refresh was one of the reasons I moved to Firefox on Android. I hate it.

I can't count how many times I just wanted to scroll up and ended up refreshing the page.

Hopefully, Adobe has nothing to do with it.

No, it's not. For tech people, yes. For regular folks, most don't even know you can write after pressing the Windows key. Moreso, not everyone even knows the Windows key opens the menu. Folks don't use shortcuts like we do.

Exactly!

I agree with this. Regular computer users are fin and like these UI changes. Most professional users don't, because it hinders them. You want to have all the horsepower available and to be able to work quickly, not prettier.

But I guess we're the minority!

That's why it has Android! For that exact reason, so that you can stream from any service! And you can also have files, yes!

Yes, regular user, just do:

<Windows>+R, then write "calc", press <Return> and you'll be ready to use the calculator. Very intuitive.

Yes, everyone in the world starts applications by pressing the windows key and typing. Yes, that view isn't skewed at all.

> Am I strange to tend to like app and OS redesigns if they make things look fresh, even when they might slow me down slightly, or even slow my machine down?

It's not strange to like redesigns. But if they slow you or your machine down? Yes, it's strange!

Would you prefer a car that changed every year to a more "fresh" design, but each year make it harder to open the door and would let you go 5(km/m)/h slower? I definitely wouldn't and it's strange that you would, yes.

All your usernames start with k.

> The reason why lan parties stopped was because it was hard to move a tower around.

No, no. The effort played itself. As OP said, it was a cultural change with companies piggy-backing on it. Split screen is not a major reason, no, I don't think so. But luggaging towers? That's not the reason.

I'm curious why you started your answer with "no"?

So... yes?

Well, the new Mission Control is the same as the old Exposé, just a rebrand with a few changes. But you forgot Command-` (backtick) which cycles windows from the same (current) app.

That's not what we're comparing.

> If there are no GPUs available for MSRP and dozens or hundreds available for 2-3x MSRP.

If you want to extrapolate, it should be

> Last year's $100 model has been selling for $500 on ebay. The new one would cost $110 but because of that, we'll now price it $550, because people pay for that.

But hey, if you agree with that, you agree with that. I don't.

Yes, that's what I said.

Key difference:

> the only one available

vs

> all the tickets since day one

I think the premise is wrong because:

- "tickets are prices too low": What do you mean by "too low"? Is the price that's set by the people involved low? Or is it what they think the value of the ticket is?

- Can you imagine if bananas were now $50 per banana? I mean, if there was only ONE company selling them, it would actually probably have already happened. So that would ultimately be the "market value".

Hey man! Sending my beat wishes and virtual strength towards you! My kid is 13 months old now and I think there were 2 or 3 occasions where she slept more than 3 hours straight. I feel you! It'll get better! Or so I hope :)

Indeed.

Why would you need to fund several VPS instances? I don't understand.
