There's a port of the Windows calculator on the Uno Platform that's ad free, although not paid. https://github.com/unoplatform/calculator


For me, TLS errors would happen every so often after we had used all our data allowance and our connection was being shaped to a slow speed. Once the speed returned to normal it was fine. I always thought it was the slow speed but maybe there were bugs in the shaping software.


I previously used my partner's Google account to watch on YouTube and it had built up recommendations based on what I previously watched since I didn't use the subscriptions, but one day it all just disappeared and only showed recommendations from my partner's subscriptions. I'd prefer if they implemented a user driven exploration system rather than attempting to guess what I want but it must be useful to be able to change how it works without modifying the user interface. I eventually gave up and used my own account with now 32 subscriptions and it's better than it was although it shows a lot of videos I've already watched. It throws in a few videos from other channels but it's mostly from the subscriptions.


Are there concerns that unpatched Android devices could be vulnerable to the Bluetooth bug discovered in February this year?

Exploit details were released a few days ago[1]. Some essential bits were removed, so not any script kiddie can use it, but it's only a matter of time before a full exploit available publicly.

As for how it relates to the app, I don't think it matters much. I'd imagine most people already have bluetooth enabled, so using this app or not won't change their vulnerability status.

GitExtensions includes a terminal and shows the commands it runs and I recently discovered the GitGraph extension in VSCode which allows having a terminal open at the same time. There's more text focused ones like Magit or Tig, I haven't used them personally but from reading the manual of Magit it looks like it can [1] and Tig allows for setting up custom commands [2].

I understand Microsoft needs to continue supporting IE for old websites but my boss a couple days ago used the Microsoft Lifecycle Policy as a reason why we, as website developers, need to support IE11 also. I would like articles saying people shouldn't use IE to also explicity answer the question, "Should website developers support IE?"


To me the answer to that question is another question - "what market share does IE11 still have amongst our target users, how fast is it decreasing, and what's the development effort required to support it?"


Or you can tax them, as some retailer did in 2012 [1].

It's tough to get much deader before they just rip it out.


I came across a javascript implementation [1] and HN discussion from a year ago [2].

I think animation needs a mention, even though it could be considered part of Material Design, and also accessibility.


I'm just guessing but I think it would be easier to start from a perfect system and progressively work towards an accurate imperfect system rather than the other way of guessing an imperfect system and working back towards an accurate imperfect system.


Easier but that’s cheating LMAO


I listened to Ashton Kutcher talk about how he tried to copy Steve Jobs by drinking lots carrot juice and he ended up in the hospital.
