    I've been trying to think what is the root cause of this sad state of affairs on Windows. Attacking the scammers is not going to work since obviously their scams are profitable (an…

    The problem this is trying to solve is an annoying one - so much so that I just wrote something similar a couple of weeks ago: https://github.com/suan/quick-debug Letters seems lik…

    Plugin author here. There seems to be many solutions out there which let a developer specify keyboard shortcuts code-side, but nothing which lets their users easily enter/change ke…

    On my Android 2.3 phone with stock browser, when I tap an image, the image _below_ it gets highlighted, even though the correct image is opened - horribly confusing. Also when an i…

    At first I thought the cube-like stairs were the part which dropped down into the floor when the knob is turned, like something out of a futuristic movie. Was just a little disappo…
