> can finally bring back browser freedom to the state it was in between 2004-2008 IE6

Missed opportunity. :wq

The Wordpad niche back in the 9x days was displaying files with Unix-style line endings properly, which Notepad didnâ(TM)t do. But I understand recent versions of Notepad deal with Unix-style line endings just fine.

386 was the first 32-bit CPU, and the first with 32-bit protected mode in the x86 series.

Sandboxing and decoupling app dependencies from system packages, so an app compiled against e.g. the freedesktop.org SDK can work on any distro and any version of that distro. This way, app developers donâ(TM)t need to build/package for 20 different variants of (distro, version) pairs.

Failing loudly and as early as possible is better than silencing errors or corrupting data. But recovering from errors is or course better than failing loudly. Mix and match.

A guide is here to set it up (especially Windows is tricky with Zadig): https://www.minidisc.wiki/guid... -- the web app itself is fully open source, so you can potentially self-host it. On Sony NetMD portables, you can even transfer raw ATRAC data back to the computer using a NetMD exploit ("lossless" in the sense that there's no additional generational loss). Good luck!

Shameless plug (despite the name, it also has Windows builds, you just need to use Zadig - on Linux and macOS it works automagically): https://github.com/thp/linux-m... Or alternatively, Web Minidisc on Chrome using WebUSB.

Dividing cost per hour leads to games being padded with mediocre content just to justify the price. I could be doing other things instead of wading through filler content. Make the content worth the price without any filler. Hell, make it a 6-hour uber-experience thatâ(TM)s worth the 70 dollars.

Youâd also need to transmit the trained AI model data every time, except if itâ(TM)s static and can be considered part of the codec (think static vs dynamic dictionary). Thatâs why the Hutter Prize takes the decompressor size into account, itâ(TM)s not compression if you âzhideâoe the data somewhere else. Like âzthis AI can compress this 1 GB video down to just 200 KB.. using this 4 GB trained model data.âoe

..or just send yourself a notification to your phone from the machine when the build is done/failed? No RGB needed (which probably was your point - RGB doesnâ(TM)t have use cases apart from cosmetics atm).

And if you really need it, you can still get Windows 11 on Sandy Bridge and Haswell easily by customizing the ISO, e.g. using Rufus.

> And how is it like IE again? Safari lags behind in web standards support (just like IE6 back in the day, remember the CSS hacks needed to get transparent PNGs working? transparent PNGs!), and itâ(TM)s the default on iOS, which has a non-trivial market share. Opus? WebM? Ogg Vorbis? Not on iOS browsers. Chrome and Firefox for Android? Check. Granted, on Windows you could always install Firefox or Opera (and later Chrome), so in that sense, Safari (and in turn forced WebKit) is worse. Which is also why Safari-on-macOS is less of an issue. The Safari/WebKit monopoly on iOS is due to app store rules (no alternative browser engines, forced to use WebKit, which Apple controls, at least as far as enabled features go). > Webkit is open source under a LGPL 2.1 license and was a fork of KHTML. Blink itself is a fork of WebKit. Open source doesnâ(TM)t mean anyone gets to submit patches that are guaranteed to get merged and shipped in products or decide the roadmap (and thankfully so). Thereâ(TM)s a reason Blink was forked from WebKit. > And to what modern web standards do you refer? Comparing Safari on iOS to Firefox on Android and Chrome on Android (because on macOS, you can install alternative browsers without them having to use system WebKit): https://caniuse.com/?compare=a... The problem again is that on iOS, you cannot (as a user) choose to use Firefox or Chrome when itâ(TM)s suitable, the âzappsâoe that exist of them are just a custom GUI with WebKit as rendering engine. > And why does it have to stay competitive? It is Apple software written for Apple devices. And? Competition is good for everyone vs a monopoly (monopoly of browser engines on iOS). WebKit-only might have made technical sense in 2007 (donât want to have multiple browser enginesâ libs loaded in 128 MB RAM). Today itâ(TM)s just anticompetitive to force devs on the App Store because The Browser doesnâ(TM)t have the features you need (e.g. WebUSB). Slightly related / mildly infuriating: Appleâs behavior on WebGPUâs shader language and how we ended up with WGSL.

Safari/WebKit is the IE6 of the 2020s. Even if YOU wonâ(TM)t use Chrome on iOS, the added competition would make sure Safari on iOS supports modern web standards, as it has to stay competitive vs being a monopoly on iOS due to restrictive App Store rules.
