It boggles my mind how modern gnome doesn't come with a traditional desktop that you have to install an extension to enable.
The Ryanair website is a who's who of everything you're supposed to avoid in UI/UX design.
Same! My PC broke down and I couldn't afford to repair it for several months. Yet I didn't miss it much as I had a Dreamcast with a keyboard and mouse. That web browser became one of my most used apps of all time. Good…
Whenever I was forced to interact with OneDrive, I couldn't help imagining the proverbial digital duct tape holding everything together behind the scenes.
Thanks to AI, Dylan and Brenda can finally end up together.
My first thought was "what year is this"?
The amount of overlap in Stelantis’ lineup is completely absurd. I can’t understand how anyone thought it was a good idea to develop seven or eight models in the same segment (this repeating across all segments) that…
I miss the crazy, unconventional Citroën of yore.
Even though I don't necessarily like it, I understand why they solder the RAM on the SOC: Higher bandwidth/greater performance, better power efficiency, etc. But they have no excuse for the SSD.
Vista was an absolute dumpster fire but in no way compares to the awfulness of ME.
I've lived through every evolution of Windows from 3.1 up to 11 and Millenium/2000 still remains my favourite and I will always consider it the most 'get-shit-done' UI that Microsoft has ever built. Up until W10 removed…
I believe that Firefox does it but not as frequently as Chrome does, but don't quote me on it. However, I am using a "tab suspender" addon on firefox to control how fast the unloading happens on tabs that are not active.
HN is as close to social media as my 3rd grade talent show was to Michael Jackson's Super Bowl halftime show.
Calling 2026's facebook, instagram, tiktok, xshitter, whatever "social media" is like calling a casino "the 3rd place that you socialise out with your mates".
There aren’t any 3rd party repair shops close to me that are in Apple’s Independent Repair Provider network, so if I were to choose a random repair shop my only real option with them would be a battery from a 3rd party…
In order to have my iPhone 11's battery replaced by my local apple authorised repair shop, inexplicably I have to leave my phone with them for days. Since the phone is old they have to order the battery from Apple and…
No kidding. Last time I used Enlightenment back in the late 90s, both KDE 1.x and GNOME 1.x were orders of magnitude more usable on my lowly Pentium MMX 166 with 16 MB of RAM.
That must be an american thing because I guarantee you that it doesn't mean anything for the rest of the world.
She and Technology Connections are two of my favourite YouTube channels. Also I love her geocities website so much: https://lauriewired.com/
My Linux computer now is my main gaming machine. I purged my Windows partition a couple of years ago and haven't had the need to look back yet.
Same here. My brain lit up with nostalgia when I saw Rennes-Le-Château mentioned.
Bring back Lilo!
Introducing Windows NNT (New New Technology).
Most PC laptops at Neo's price point (or cheaper) are essentially manufactured e-waste.
Those gestures have been permanently tattooed into my brain and muscle memory. So much so that I’ve set Gesturefy on Firefox to mimic the same ones from the old Opera browser.
