Someone is a fan of SIEMENS SIMATIC PLCs, it seems.

But JSON doesn’t allow you to run it through an XSLT and get a normal webpage out of it, does it?

I’m waiting for the Gemini people to (re-)discover HTML 3.2 or 4.0. Maybe this then becomes a slightly bigger movement as all current browsers should support it and there are plent…

More like the EU and Germany’s version of the Digital Services Act. Google is just adhering to German law.

I've had my Fenix 5 Plus swapped once during warranty because of this. And the replacement's contacts started to corrode again when I sold the watch. It might not happen to all mod…

Also ask any serious Garmin watch user about their charging/data contacts. They start to rot away after 1-2 years of being exposed to sweat.

Twitter has it, too.

Magic Earth is 10+ years old by now. Only recently they've introduced a (very reasonable, I think) Premium subscription to cover their costs. I guess the live traffic data is bound…

iOS has Every Door[1] and there’s also MapComplete[2] which works as a PWA. [1]: https://every-door.app [2]: https://mapcomplete.org

URL parameters? They worked back in the old days, so I don’t see why they wouldn’t work here.

You should try Windows 7, then. Boots in no time at all, feels EXTREMELY snappy, and nowadays, there are UEFI loaders and a thing called VxKex-NEXT which adds the few new API calls…

Most of the people that want to rejoin the EU never realised that Brexit happened at the same time as COVID and they believe that all the bad things that happened since were due to…

Running ComfyUI and some ImageGenAI and realising how you can use it to generate anything from any aspect of pr0n and various fetishes to making up fake news about basically anythi…

Wait, it even needs an extension for Safari? I'm using Strongbox (uses a KeePass-compatible database) which integrates into Apple's AutoFill API and appears automatically in all in…

It was better when it was still a native app and not this Electron nonsense.

> You're absolutely right! I'm here to help. Tell me more about . Or, for the more grey haired among us: Hello, my name is Dr. Sbaitso. I am here to help you. […] So, tell me about…

There’s also VxKex-NEXT[0] which adds the very few API calls W10 introduced to a Windows 7 to make it mostly compatible with W10 apps. [0]: https://github.com/YuZhouRen86/VxKex-NEX…

What’s even better is that thing with memberships here in the UK. While the single admission price for these “touristy” sites might appear quite steep, usually for not much more (a…

I’ve actually switched from Just Eat to slightly more expensive Deliveroo because the latter one makes it extremely easy (at least in the UK) to report wrong deliveries and you get…

I'm using MakePass for ages now. Got it when it was still a single purchase and got grandfathered into their new license model. It allows you to use almost all features of the Pass…
