    I loved Pentiment, but it was soooo much reading.

    Perhaps add "Tectonic" as a puzzle type? It's the same as Ripple Effect but it disallows diagonal repeats.

    The problem with history is that you need to know when to look. If you're looking for some old code that you know existed but you don't know exactly what it was, you can't just bro…

    There is no reason you can return that "no items matched your selection" with a 404 HTTP response code instead of a 200.

    For all intents an purposes it is, especially face ID. Also, courts in most countries can compel you to provide biometrics. But many cannot compel you to reveal passwords.

    I'm just using Bitwarden instead. My work still uses 1password for now, but we're in the process of moving to Bitwarden.

    I can't globally disable that "autofill" also hits "submit". I want to review what it autofills before I submit. I consider this a security risk. I can disable submit only on a log…

    I have been telling people for years that biometrics (face, fingerprint, voice) is your username, not your password. But people are easily swayed by convenience.

    Same. Sometimes I will play a givewayway game on EGS and like it enough to e.g. buy the DLC. In that case I'll buy the game on Steam, just to buy the DLC there too.

    I second Debian. All the good bits of Ubuntu have long since been ported back to Debian, and it has much more timely releases now.

    What's the software stack? Did you write an app for it? Jailbreak it?

    The difference is that with financing you're stuck with it (and your credit rating drops, at least in the EU here). You're not stuck with a subscription. If your income changes and…

    The MRSP for those GPUs is already inflated. There's a reason Nvidia is going to start making more RTX 3060 GPUs. Because people (and system builders) can't afford 40XX and 50XX GP…

    Even idiot investors eventually want their money back. And they will ruin you in the process with their idiotic ideas.

    I love Projectivity Launcher on my Google Streamer, but I can't figure out how to really replace the built-in launcher. Sometimes the device falls back to the default launcher unti…

    It also exist for e.g. radio. It's called compulsory licensing and people have been doing it for decades.

    No problem. The parent had it the wrong way around. OMZ will use main if it exists, master otherwise. So a bad move still works!

    There is also a very polular package manager called Composer. Do companies not search for name collisions? Or do they squat on community projects on purpose?
