yea, that would be ideal!

yea, a daylight white in the kitchen, and in your hobby rooms,

A warm white in your living room and bedrooms.

i get that, but adding a gyro is really, really minor, just a couple modules on a PCB

whether they like it or not, it should still be included on a “premium” product, when the Wii U controllers had it!

really a cool tech, cant imagine how it would work. Could definitely make walking in VR a lot less cumbersome.

bad decisions, like making a truck that looks like… that…

Mozilla, the company behind Firefox and Thunderbird, has talked a lot in recent years about the unfair advantages that platforms give to their first-party web browsers. Platform Tilt is a new effort from Mozilla to show how Firefox and other third-party browsers stack up against Chrome on Android, Safari on iPhone, and other platform pairings.

Mozilla said in a blog post, “There’s a long history of companies leveraging their control of devices and operating systems to tilt the playing field in favor of their own browser. This tilt manifests in a variety of ways. For example: making it harder for a user to download and use a different browser, ignoring or resetting a user’s default browser preference, restricting capabilities to the first-party browser, or requiring the use of the first-party browser engine for third-party browsers.”

Mozilla is now outlining these “tilts” in a new “Platform Tilt” issue tracker database, while encouraging other web browsers to publish their concerns in a similar fashion. The main purpose is to call more attention to how platforms like iOS and Windows favor their own web browser over the competition, which is useful information in the various antitrust legal actions against Apple, Microsoft, and other big tech companies.

There are ten issues listed with Apple, including the Apple App Store forbiding third-party browser engines, no option to import browser data on iPhone and iPad from other web browsers, and difficult beta testing. On Android, Mozilla points out it can’t import browser data, some features open Chrome instead of the default web browser, and Google search results on Android are worse.

Mozilla also highlighted three issues with Microsoft. The process for setting the default browser on Windows is still difficult, and some Windows features forcibly open links in Edge instead of the default web browser. Microsoft also reverts the default browser to Edge during some Windows setup interactions. Most of those issues were recently made illegal by the European Union, but Microsoft is free to continue doing them in other regions, like the United States.

The new database is a bit like Mozilla’s WebCompat project, which documents the problems that popular websites have in Firefox and other less-popular web browsers. However, instead of specific sites creating a worse experience for Firefox users, Platform Tilt is about software platforms creating a worse experience.

You can check out the full Platform Tilt database at the source link below. It will likely continue to be updated as Mozilla sorts through its issue trackers.

would that be “The Dam Busters”? Only watched it the once, but now that you mention it i can see the similarities, especially with the… bomb guider…

Amen. Weird how people feel the need to insert it into random places. Cant think of any TV show that got hit from that!

always reminds me of Top Gun Mavrick: The poor US, with its last generation fighters, against some unnamed micro power with top of the line fighter jets.

Why they didnt just use missile, or a high altitude bomber, ill never know.

Thats great news, but the proof of the pudding is in the tasting, and we will have to see if Google makes any parts for their phones available. I havn’t heard of Google… digitally keying their parts the way Apple does.

Yea,

We mainly print stuff for D&D, and documents. Got a cheap laser printer. Printed thousands of sheets, on our second toaner.

When we need pictures printed, we just go to the local print shop and get them for $0.50 each.

I’ve started double checking the name of each article before reading, trying to suss out if it was written by an AI.

Its not foolproof, but it helps.

Unless its like Firefly or The Expanse (or The Tripods from the 80s) and taken too early from us

That’s really cool! It must have been hard to take that incredibly low res picture, and extract this much information out of!

I used to be a huge google supporter, and I’ll still take android every single day over an iPhone… but other than that google could go burn for all I care.

Oh, I’m hardcore anti musk, but I mean “firing watchdog staff to reduce overhead”, not that musk is financially literate.

If musk can fire his watchdog staff, thereby reducing staffing costs, other companies will want to follow suit. Just look at Spez admiring musk.

Well, musk showed he can just shirk duty and take home more money… so why not follow his lead.

For sure, but i assume that x percent of subscribers will donate. Doubling how many people donate, or doubling how much the average donation also works, but thats harder.

I would love to see this grow to the point where a full time sysadmin could be hired! Would need a lot of subscribers though
