Perhaps it's a bit silly, but it amused me that this line: " " made me ask whether the author was French. A very quick search for his name comes up with predominantly French (langu…

I have found the exported data to be extremely spotty in certain areas. Especially the YouTube history.

Not to mention that it appears completely broken in Firefox. https://i.imgur.com/1wgZlgv.jpg

I found out, in a happy little accident, that dgg.gg also works.

Just out of curiosity: how often do you find yourself using !g and then actually finding a better answer?

Why would France ever pay for the "privilege" of having US citizens living in France?

It's a deep, and scary, rabbit hole. If you're at all curious, it seems Sargon of Akkad and Thunderf00t on YouTube are not just slinging shit. I've watched some, and sources have a…

I've found NoScript a bigger part of my browsing habits lately. I wait for the moment when a site just goes haywire, maxing CPU cores, at which point I just nix its script privileg…

Not in the least. I spent a good portion of the past 15 years trying desperately to rekindle the flame that brought me into the business, but I just couldn't seem to do it. As of N…

You'll have to wait many years for that. The cow is noticeably thinner, but by no means dry just yet. They'll keep milking it!

It's interesting to me, seeing how many people are so deeply dissatisfied with the results. I switched a couple of years ago, and only had a very small (two-three week) period wher…

Which it seems is precisely what this addon solves.

A rather interesting use case, and one that I haven't been forced to deal with just yet. On a rather cursory search, however, I came across Switchy: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-U…

Ultimately there are very simple explanations for most things. You'll have developer/mapper playgrounds where they model new stuff and try things out before cutting them or impleme…

> They both transform to the most sensible html given the input. I'm going to have to disagree with you. Long before Markdown came along, the convention was to use asterisks for * …

> Not sure what you mean; Windows 10 is exactly like Windows 7 and Windows 8 here. You hit the start button / start key, you start typing, and the things you want start popping up.…

> People bitched about the new start menu because they weren't willing to see that there were better ways to find their programs. What exactly was the better way though? I'm still …

There's an addon for Firefox that does the job for you. It's depressing for people like us, but if you still want to get an accurate count, the name is simply "Open Tab Count". Pro…

> But I think you underestimate what many people are willing to put up with as their daily protein source. As far as I'm concerned, it's not even about putting up with anything. Re…

Swedish here, I write Z with the line, as well as the number 7. My first teacher was ancient even in the 90s, so that may have something to do with it?

Given that, around here anyway, solar powered "night lights" for use outdoors are very prevalent and only set you back about a dollar a piece... $5 certainly seems very possible. N…

I think the only actual Windows app I still really need is Total Commander. I know there's lots of commander apps available for just about any platform, but I've used Total Command…

> Don't reward this behavior by buying Windows 10. Or at least delay the purchase as long as possible. There's no buying if you've already got a valid Windows 7/8 license; it's a f…

Assuming you've clicked the Reserve-button in the little notification application that was rolled out via Windows Update, you'll just have to sit tight and wait. Check out the FAQ:…

Cryptonomicon was my first contact with Stephenson, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It also opened my eyes to WW2 crypto and a whole lot of other very interesting things!
