They are user forums/social media.

News Aggregator is only accurate if the sites actually scrape the web for news. Here and the other place rely almost entirely on users and bots for content. Since users and bots are neither hired or employed by the sites it's disingenuous to claim either generates anything at all. Neither site is relevant without the user generated content.

Technology

People worship their devices. Innovation is progress. One God with 100's of different religions screaming my way is better.

Not OP but here's one use case. I use FF as a PDF reader, it's faster than Nitro and Adobe opening files and searching within. When I have a 600+ page Admin Guide open scrolling is prohibitive. When I do a text search FF puts location indicators in the scroll bar. A larger scrollbar is better visually and easier to interact with.

Also, what kind of psycho uses a touch screen on a desktop computer?

Thanks. I tried with this setting for a couple of days.

This just loads HD by viewing the image. I'm talking about something that will keep the image low res unless you manually zoom in. I don't need hd memes and comics most of the time. It should only download HD with a manual zoom with Pinch, double tap, or tap and swipe.

 

Hopefully this is a simple request.

Give us a setting to enable HD on Zoom. Once enabled, when a low res image is zoomed in, boost will automatically switch to HD.

This would allow us to choose which images are downloaded in HD. It would help speed up image preloading and save on overall data usage.

Thanks for reading.

I'll give them props for the scans, those are cool. But c'mon, this fanboi is comparing specs of a thunderbolt 4 pro cable to a USB 2 from 1996. Granted, not much changes except speed and capacity but those two things take up a big part of this op-ed.

The whole point, as I get it, is that those fancy cables are proprietary. The tech and circuitry embedded in the TB4 cables should be in the charger, phone, computer, etc. A cable should just be a cable.

Have you heard about decrapify? I highly recommend it for all new Win10 installs.

MS Indexing is terrible. It's only saving grace is that it scans inside Outlook. If you want a fast search and instant results try Everything by VoidTools com.

It sounded good so I tried this and it's so so at best.

First off, I pay for no ads. To me, a fake DJ attempting to convince me it's a black man talking nonsense is just as bad or worse than ads.

Second, the music choices are early days Pandora bad. It starts off okay then a few songs later it's off on some tangent with no rhyme or reason I can understand.

After reading this I decided to try it out. Within 5 posts there were ads. No thanks, I'll stick with Connect.

Edit: I was scrolling everything and replied. I didn't see this was in the official community. My opinion doesn't matter in here. I think it's great that sync is successful and I hope it continues. So yea, keep on keeping on.

One that uses Firefox with ublock origin for the internal browser. Coming from Relay for Reddit, I find opening external links in the stock chrome browser to be extremely painful.
