These gifs are meant to go along side web content in the 90s. They aren't sufficient to stand by itself as a social media post, so they have no plane on the modern web and so we don't see them anymore.

The old win32 UI exposes error messages that one could use to troubleshoot. The new UI just says something went wrong. It's infuriating.

I live in Canada, and it's strange that we are able to ban little things like single use plastic bags, cutleries, and straws, but not ban big ticket items like private jets.

Hobbyists are only useful during the growth phase when companies are competing with each other for Market shares.

The question I have been wondering is if they are hamstringing high value tasks to creating room for premium offerings or are they trying to minimize cost per task.

You are right that Google can't be sued for this. The only thing that the Gemini protocol/Gemini clients/Gemini community could do is rebrand.

Now that Bard is Gemini, it's going to be impossible to find any information on the Gemini protocol/Gemini clients/Gemini sites. It's not very nice for Google to use the same name.

The EV buyer wins/loses out depending on the price of fuel in the future, the interest charge for financing the EV, and the return on investment if the money was invested in another asset.

Yes, I also happened to run a browser which shares the same philosophy on RAM.

Once upon a time, QAs and developers also had a bit of cooperatively adversarial relationship as well. It's no more now as teams are restructured by business, so they cooperate.

That appears to show the position of the magnetic north pole over the years. Does the location of magnetic pole affect local weather conditions?

What I don't get is why doesn't the Chrome team want to implement support. Does it hurt Google's revenue somehow?

The current high-resolution cursor seems like a scaled-up version of the original cursor. Perhaps it's that way for compatibility reason since there are tons of monitors using 100% scaling.

Thanks for providing the space to archive this.

Is there a long-term plan for this archive? For example, if someone is reading this in 2035, would they be able to contact you or the person who archived this for a copy if other copies aren't available?

In other words, the designers are just engaging in screenshot-centric design.

Early on, I noticed that if I ask ChatGPT an unique question that might not have been asked before, it'll split out a response slowly, but repeating the same question would result in a much quicker response.

Is it possible that you have a caching system too so that you are able to respond instantly with paragraphs of technical information to some types of requests that you have seen before?

Don't forget to explain that some buttons are inside faint pill shaped shading (or it could be a search field in which they could tap without consequence) and that chips (to show options for a specific context, so they could tap without consequence) are rounded rectangles.

Except if the site is still on Material Design 2, then it is the reverse in which some buttons are inside rounded rectangles and that chips are inside pill shaped shading.

Are we confused yet?

We could just package the nodejs code and v8 engine together and ship them to the browser for execution.

> It motivated me to put everything on a timer that only turns power own in the evenings, since that's the only time they get used.

I was surprised to learn that a timer itself also uses power. I borrowed a Kill-a-watt from the library and found that an 2 decades old timer uses 2.3W while a newer one uses 0.6W. That tells me that I should just keep the old timer for the rare occasions.

> "We have seen that you can embed viruses into cartridges, through the cartridge go to the printer, from the printer go to the network, so it can create many more problems for customers."

If this is true, HP's CEO just publically admitted that their printers have some serious security issue.

In terms of load speed, the period between introduction of broadband and the rise of SPA was heaven.

One convention we lost was that text fields have sunken white background and other areas of the UI are generally grey. UI now uses bright white in most places, eventually causing the world to invent dark mode.

It's really gone backward.

Added humidity is definitely a concern. Perhaps we could fix that by covering the water with plastic to prevent evaporation, but I never look into it.

> unsecured (sometimes called open-source) AI systems.

I disagree with the author calling open-source AI models as Unsecured AI models.

> Usually "true-HEPA" is just a marketing term used when selling non-HEPA filters.

I don't understand how companies are allowed to add an intensifying or strengthening adjectives to a noun and ends up with a weaken definition of the noun. For example, Full Self Driving is less than Self Driving and now true-HEPA is less than HEPA. Could I advertise that a product as Perfect-HIPPA compliant then?

I have seen one web app [0] uses the remote storage library [1]. It does fit your criteria. It would be nice if the big cloud storage companies adopt this or create something similar.

There are always people who wants to unleash their creativity, but that demographic has moved from Web sites to MySpace to Video content.

Right now, the web experience for 2FA is very poor compared to using a mobile app.

I wish I could just put my phone on an NFC reader when a site requires 2FA, and then all I have to do is to confirm on the phone itself.

There are options to paying the custom broker, but none of them are really great.

He is allowed to do the custom clearance himself instead of using the shipper's broker. He just needs to get the paperwork and take them physically into his local CBSA office, then get the CBSA paperwork back to the shipping company.

He could also have the item sent to a mailbox in the US and then pick it up from there.

Of course, the person has a business to run, so it probably would make more sense to just pay the broker ($20 + percentage of the Tax for fronting the money) to do rather than to spend an hour on handling paperwork and lining up at the office on one item or drive to the US and back.

> the 'lower customer densities' twist is interesting. I wonder what creates that situation. Maybe people want to rush their purchases when in a crowd?

Another interesting question: Are people buying more food with this vendor now, thus displacing future purchases, or is the extra food ending up going to waste?
