From the drop-down menus that have existed for as long as Firefox has.

I'm not surprised that Valve is dropping 32-bit support; the 'gaming on 32-bit windows' market cannot be all that large or all that lucrative; what does surprise me a little bit is that the announced end of support doesn't line up with anything I immediately recognize. End of 2025/beginning of 2026 actually puts them considerably later than most stuff using chromium for UI rendering(not sure if they've been doing a bunch of backporting or if they consider the fact that they are mostly rendering their own content a security control); but doesn't line up with the deprecation of any other 32-bit dependency I recognize offhand.

Anyone have a plausible speculation on whether there is something else getting deprecated that likely drove the decision; or if it's just a matter of having to pick a nice round number to pull the plug on something that could be continued but isn't really worth the hassle?

Well, now, I may need to rethink this whole thing!

Actually, you made me think...

If Teams would let me deploy an AI agent to attend a meeting in my stead, and would afterward provide me with a summary I could claim to have read (but would, in truth, have completely ignored)... I could get behind that 100%!

As if Teams wasn't annoying enough already...

I'd say "I hope there's a way to turn that crap off", but somehow I doubt it.

(yeah, I am expected to be on Teams all day, every workday)

I didn't know anyone actually *used* Firefox's sidebar. I always turn it off on new installs... right away, seconds after I remove Pocket.

And we all know where this ends up... Talkie Toaster.

I believe you're thinking of Mark Gurman. Ming- Chi Kuo tends to have a better track record... although still not perfect. Gurman's predictions are definitely like a coin flip.

I agree Apple's phones are overly expensive, but - there is a cost associated with miniaturization and having to engineer for smaller space. Making a $599 laptop should be easier than a $599 phone with equivalent computing power.

It's of the reasons why thin, light laptops cost more than thick, heavy laptops - especially back when they first went mainstream.

If it happens, it at least isn't an actively bad idea like the touch bar was.

I unfortunately have a (last-gen Intel) MacBook Pro with a touch bar. Even after several years, I am constantly accidentally triggering things I don't want... it's just too easy to graze the touchbar when you're hitting a number key. And before you say "just map it to function keys" - all that will accomplish is to change what I'm accidentally triggering.

I've been in the "Permanent Daylight Saving Time" camp for a long time. However, I'll be retiring soon... so at this point I really don't care. Change nothing or change everything... blessedly I'll be away from it.

Then you haven't been listening.

Most people aren't in control of their own schedules - it's as simple as that.

I definitely can't imagine any issues running a functional market economy under the theory that the first amendment allows you to make or conceal any claim you like about a product.

The most important takeaway today's kids should learn from the success of people like Gates, Musk, et. al. is - PICK YOUR PARENTS WISELY.

I can think of other possible explanations.

- If they are unfamiliar with your application, it's not trivial for them to definitively determine that yours is the real one.
- The app store is huge and they don't adequately staff the group responsible for investigating these sorts of claims.
- Some combination of the above explanations (including yours).
