Hah, since 3 days ago it's now free registrations even for companies. [1] I strongly suspect that problems with SmartScreen are a not so subtle way to push us to the Store. Good th…

It's much more expensive on Windows side of things. DigiCert and Sectigo are now in the $700--$1000 range per year for regular OV code signing certificate. Microsoft has it's own A…

For a few weeks now, many Windows apps signed with Azure Trusted Signing (a paid service) have started showing a "Windows protected your PC" warning, prompting users to click "more…

The right answer is that these things don't really show up that much. Like I encounter something like that once in a year? Yes, it's infuriating that they show up during install, o…

Sure, but using modifier keys. What if I want to add shift to the mix to select, let's say to the beginning of line or document? You'll need to press two modifiers. That's not opti…

On the other, as a Windows desktop person I can't live without Home/End/PgUp/Pgdown, and in different combinations with Shift/Control. That's one of reason I can't fully enjoy MacB…

You can't abandon Windows because of software X, Y, Z. Over the years vendors move to multiplatform as more and more customers ask for it. These changes are slow but steady. And on…

No, it was not real Visual Studio on MacOS, it was rebranded Xamarin IDE.

The only negative side of Total Commander is I'm extremly used to it - been using it since mid 90s. When I compare alternatives on Mac I'm searching for exact keyboard commands, na…

That "significant danger" was a bit of dramatization on my part. I don't expect anything to significantly change in the short term. I was more referring to long-term tidal-like cha…

I'm using Raycast on Mac, it has a bunch of stuff included but I use it only for its Clipboard History extension.

Recently I'm finding MSN home opened in Chrome over night. Aparently it's connected to some "active probing" feature, and I do have scheduled nightly restarts in the home router. B…

This "make Windows better" push is far more political than technological. It's a fight with other divisions about using Windows as a marketing and sales channel for other products …

Core of Yugoslavia, still lives on in cultural space, where music, movies, and literature are consumed in all ex republics. Except probably Kosovo, which was not part of serbo-croa…

This kind of fraud would be impossible if revenue from each subscriber is distributed just to the artists they listened to. Bots listening to thousands of songs would not make a di…

Let's start with those who thought it's a good idea to give power over UI decissions to designers using Macs.

I'm still using subversion as it servers solo developer needs perfectly.

I almost drowned as a kid - in shallow water, and with a swim ring around my waist. I'll explain situation here as a cautionary tale for parents. That swim ring was a bit loose. I …

I believe parent was talking about translated book, not about the comment.

I was forced to purchase 73EUR priority ticket for few LP records few weeks ago. They don't fit into Wizair specified backpack, so I know it is against the rules if I carry them se…

Have you tried to install Windows 11 ARM under UTM on Mac? UTM is a kind of open source Parallels. Then you'll run x86 software using Windows' variant of Rosetta. Probably slower t…

That movie has one of the best soundtracks ever. Highly recommended - it was released as an album and you can find it on Spotify and similar services.

In retrospect, playing Rocksmith mostly improved my timing. And made me "keep the song going even if you miss a note". If you're just playing alone, without a metronome, backing tr…

Earshot NGO analyzed recorded sounds and found 4 of these videos "consistent with Vortex Ring Gun or Vortex Cannon": https://x.com/earshot_ngo/status/1901661518153781534 Note that …
