the UK government has a strong history of ballsing up anything to do with Excel.

Here is actual behind the scenes footage of the conversation as the horror unfolded : https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

> Firefox new tab page a discover destination in itself,

Huh???? No the fuck thanks. Please mozilla concentrate on trying to remove the suck from Firefox and make it a better browser. Adding this shite on does not do that

Im talking basic mixed raster compression pdfs nothing fancy. Firefox only displays certain layers not the whole pdf. I send compliant pdfs to customers and they view them in firefox i have to explain that firefox is thw worst pdf reader and they should use software that works

Firefox is one of the worst pdf viewers Compatibility wise. I have seen lots of pdfs that firefox just wont display properly. Often MRC pdfs. Is this a case of adding a feature before actually fixing the pdf viewer

I don't know if you are being sarcastic but your moderation suggests sincereity. What you describe is defacto in europe. We have credit cards on our phones, with notifications, history, control, etc. It's just normal.

People don't understand what this even means anymore. I've had arguments online where people are suggesting things like megaupload or amazon photos for local backups. The concept of backup, and local isn't even a thing in consumers minds. This is the way tech bros like it though. It's through design.

> f you want a HTPC you could use a $300 mini PC until this bubble shit. Now the same machine is $500

yeah, but if you want a gaming PC you can't use a mini $300 pc. If you want a toaster buy a $20 toaster.

anybody that can't 'afford' it buys a PC and pirates that games. No one is buying a PS5 on a budget unless they don't want to play games.

In the UK it's 6-700 minium to get a PC that can play new games. Easily over a grand for a slightly upgraded model or with some accessories. Sure under a $1000 would be nice but I think it's actually pretty fair value. For about 30 years now, £1000 has been the 'base' price of any reasonably acceptable PC. The tech advances but the price stays the same. I paid £1000 for a pentium 100 / 16MB in about 1995/6 now that will get you all the tech in this, play the latest games plug it in no assembly required. Sure it's annoying but so is paying 6,7,8 GBP for a pint of beer but thats where we are.

windows explorer is pretty dire example of user interface, but the file open dialogs do tend to work in logical and useful ways, my fav is pasting a path into the filename box which then takes you to that place, then you can type a filename.

But your post reminded my of the atari st days I used to use this tool : https://www.atarimagazines.com... which gave you a fully featured file selector for any app you used. Is there such a category of software today? i.e. a global file save/open selector replacement. There's things like teracopy for file copying, for example

News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters ? Or just stale news stories from various points in the lsat decade, stuff that everyone has already read?

why do rats who have never seen a cat, have reactions to cat fur? Is it learned or built in ? Why do humans who have reactions to this substance see elfs/tiny human ? Is it learned or built in

do these substances bring out a reality not normally visable, or do they make the brain invent these things. if so where or what is the brain getting the info from ? Why do multiple people report the same things ? (suggesting external input not self generated ?

great question and hard to find the answer. is this becuase it reveals somethign that doesn't help the narrative

> . Some controls are way too small to use with it.

Would you use a racing wheel to manage files ? What about a keyboard for drawing program ? Wo why are you complainig that controls too small to use via touch screen are too small - AND, this is why touch screen is 'minimally' useful? bro..
