> What happened is that _software_ stopped bloating and inflating like a balloon, as was the norm through the '80s, '90s and early '00s. Is that true though? Windows might have got…

So the web is now going to be even more Chrome-centric than it is... I wonder if they thought about picking Gecko instead.

I believe it was the MS Research project Singularity which grew into Midori.

I am not sure if that'll be the case. The Multi Account Container ( https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers ) seems like it's dead. No new commits since end of March an…

I use Bvckup 2 ( https://bvckup2.com/ ) to backup on to a 4 TB external drive. I also have Duplicati ( https://www.duplicati.com/ ) running to backup those backups onto OneDrive an…

Genuine question - how is Bing a good investment? Isn't it essentially a non-factor in the search market?

F# got mentioned already but I would like to add another vote to it. C# is the first choice for most people when building desktop apps for Windows but F# works exceptionally well t…

Look into Cmder ( http://cmder.net/ ) for an alternative to iTerm/zsh. You can also try Babun ( https://babun.github.io/ ). Try Wox ( http://www.wox.one/ ) as a replacement for Alf…

God, I hope this never comes true. Email is not the right medium for this. Stick to blogs and webpages for this instead.

Flickr doesn't really do videos though. Yea, you can upload them but playback is limited to just 3 minutes and it doesn't really have tools to work with videos.

Don, Will you keep the current 1 TB free storage tier as is?

I looked a while ago to find alternatives when some of these issues came up a while ago but I haven't found any other viable alternatives. I thought PeaZip might be a good option u…

So much white space.... Why?

Is this going to be part of Bvckup 2 by any chance?

I stuck with WP as long as I could and I still miss it. The polycarbonate Nokia were tough as hell and felt solid in your hands. IMO the OS was really solid. If they just stuck wit…

Anyone know of something similar for Windows?

KeePass ( https://keepass.info/ ) and KeePassXC. I can use them in conjunction with Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc. instead of relying on yet another proprietary service. Plu…

Just so you know, this (the audit) was initiated under the Obama administration back on 2010. All Federal agencies were required to go through an audit but the DOD got a waiver for…
