Have Windows users ever wanted a single thing they added since XP?

The new terminal for example is a rather neat improvement over the old command prompt, especially with the integration of Linux systems. Winget also is rather nice. Just two examples. So yeah with all the valid criticism Microsoft deserves for quite a bit of policies, I don’t think your hyperbole holds up.

As long as it’s a easily toogled off as the search bar is, I don’t mind.

Them getting rid of the ability to have different windows of the same kind with full title bar next to each other IMHO is a much bigger pain.

And considering that veterans are over represented in the homeless population, they actively hurt those who have served the country instead of helping them. Shameful!

No worries, it’s quite an odd behaviour. It was the same back on Reddit. No idea if there is a good reason for it or if they copied it to be the same as with Reddit.

Next time use two line breaks after each line and it will work.

D4 really isn’t that different from current D3. In some areas it’s actually better. But of course both of those suck compared to D2 or PoE.

Well it matters when it comes to replacing ageing programmers with very few options available. It’s definitely not something taught in schools today, so one has to be very deliberately learn it.

Don’t get me wrong, you can make a lot of money in such a position. But you also have to deal with COBOL.

Sure, but how likely is this in this specific scenario. We’re talking about a system that’s not even directly controlling the train but just a display on it. The worst that can happen is that those displays won’t work until the system is reinstalled. That’s hardly a lucrative target for modern hackers. There’s way easier target which are worth something.

Well yes. You can code software remotely. That doesn’t mean the end system is reachable through the network. Given it’s DB, I bet these systems are still patched by floppy. Until very recently they’ve used floppy’s to distribute train schedules to be displayed in the train.

Frankly that’s nothing. In the worst case a train won’t start, which for DB really isn’t something unusual. It’s far more disturbing how the whole global financial market sometimes rely on code that’s still written in COBOL.

I certainly won’t trust Musk even as far as I can throw him with such stuff.

I suspect that he doesn’t read dyspotic science fiction novels as cautionary tale but as an instruction booklet.

Oh for sure. But my gmail address is pretty much a burner address for sites I don’t want to provide my regular firstname.lastname@provider.com one. So nothing big to loose there.

This is not a bug. This is by design.

I’d say it’s a bug in the design as it clearly fails to work with a completely fine email.

I like to use the Gmail feature where you can add +randomstring to your email and it still gets to the regular email to sign up to random sites. But this way you can identify and block spam if that email get’s compromised. Technically this Google catch all feature also isn’t following the email standard but at least it’s useful.

Nah, it’s just a old school chat bot following a predefined flow chart. And in this flowchart someone implemented an improper email check.

It’s pretty much the same as if there was just a website with an email field which then complains about a non valid email which in fact is very valid. And this is pretty common, the official email definition isn’t even properly followed by most mail providers (long video but pretty funny and interesting if you’re interested in the topic).

I have just recently bought a FP5 as well and I wouldn’t trust myself without it. Without a case it’s pretty slippery. And just because it’s easy to repair the screen doesn’t mean I risk it getting broken more than necessary. So the 34 Euro I paid definitely was worth it. Especially considering it’s made out of recycled material.

I feared that the fingerprint reader would be hard to reach with it, but luckily it works pretty well. A slight touch is enough to unlock it.

Wanna bet that they will somehow combine this with 5G conspiracies?

“It’s all just a wave after all!!!” ^/s

The pop up may have been triggered by a technical glitch before they wanted it to. But the whole feature of course was not only developed but implemented into the live version of the game.

Prisoners are found guilty of a crime by a court system and then safely put away, since they have still rights.

Yeah about that …

“In administrative detention, a person is held without trial without having committed an offense, on the grounds that he or she plans to break the law in the future. As this measure is supposed to be preventive, it has no time limit. The person is detained without legal proceedings, by order of the regional military commander, based on classified evidence that is not revealed to them. This leaves the detainees helpless – facing unknown allegations with no way to disprove them, not knowing when they will be released, and without being charged, tried or convicted.”

Oh of course they will still use the data of paying costumers. I’m sure that data is more important to them then any add revenue.
