This bit me too. If I wanted a mouse-driven app, I'd use the GUI. I don't understand why they're trying to replicate that experience in a text environment.

And the footgun (although I haven't seen a smoking footgun yet).

Which are typically city approved, licensed, and taxed

I had this happen at the Shenzhen airport a few weeks ago. They confiscated my Apple MagSafe battery because it didn't have the CCC mark. From the looks of it, they were confiscati…

If that's the case, it's surprising they keep pushing Shorts so hard on the Apple TV app, because watching vertical Shorts videos on a TV is a uniquely terrible experience.

And a variant of ACCESS.bus lives on as the extremely widely adopted DDC that is a part of HDMI, DVI, and VGA.

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I can still remember how to play the original Doom after all these years (and where all the secrets are!) but the modern editions ha…

I think that's referring to the NT "Shell Update Release" which was an early beta of the Windows 95-style start menu that you could install on Windows NT 3.51.

This is covered in the linked article as well as Dave Plummer's video referenced therein. The Crowdstrike driver is specifically marked as critical to starting the system and so di…

If you use a wildcard cert, then only "*.domain.net" is recorded in the logs, not the actual hostnames you're using.

Not just credentials - account balances, account numbers, etc. There's a big difference between your browser history recording that you opened your bank or healthcare provider's we…

I had the same experience as you on a trip to the Netherlands. Ironically, the only place where it didn't work was the Apple store in Amsterdam. I don't know if that was an actual …

They could live outside the city where they would be connected to a local septic system instead of a central city sewer.

The Home Depot stores near me do this really well. Since they also sell a lot of bulky and/or oddly shaped merchandise, their self checkouts each have a wireless, handheld barcode …

He did say "When people say I changed the culture of Boeing, that was the intent, so that it’s run like a business rather than a great engineering firm" and he does seem to have be…

In QBert it "knocks" when the QBert character jumps off the edge of the grid. First, there's a sound effect that sounds like QBert falling, then a short time later a loud knock tha…

Yes, it's referring to the key with the Office logo on Microsoft keyboards, which sends the Win + Shift + Ctrl + Alt combination, regardless of whether Office is installed or not.

This was a fascinating read. One other interesting fact about the carbon in our bodies is that the sort of diet that a person eats over their lifetime can influence the ratio of th…

One reason given is that it was delayed so it wouldn't interfere with travel to the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

This argument makes me smile as someone who is old enough to remember when Emacs stood for "eight megabytes and constantly swapping".

The YouTube app on iOS does the same thing, putting "Chrome" first in the list of browsers to open links in, even though I don't have Chrome installed.

But it wasn't the FAA that placed the blame on the SpaceShipTwo designers, it was the NTSB. Hopefully there's a similarly independent agency that can lead an investigation of the N…
