This needs to go viral and be posted in reviews for every monitor with this “feature”. Heck, make a convenient warning icon indicating “adware” for such reviews so I can scroll past them faster.
No way I’m risking buying a TV or monitor from LG after seeing this. It would go right back in the box to be returned.
Yes this is a thing and it’s been around for quite some time. If you’re trying to approximate TeX, you may also be interested in MathML.
I need to go lay down; I’m having flashbacks to the good old days of “XML everywhere for everything all the time”.
Yep. And for very good reasons, as explained in the article. But knowing that domains can be a significant source of income for a small nation, it does seem a shame to both waste that resource and break tons of sites in the process. I wish there were better ways to do this that didn’t mean shutting it down or even selling it off to the highest bidder (who already has enough money).
I doubt this will happen, but they should just reassign it to the Mauritius authority. The citizens of the islands could then potentially see some benefit from it, not Google or ICANN or whoever selflessly offers to take it over.
Ah yes, the Marty McFly strategy.
Everywhere I’ve worked it didn’t matter if I used my equipment or theirs. All IP I created while employed there was the property of my employer. If you’re in the USA, check your contracts.
Excellent point. I had forgotten about this. I work for a non profit so I’m ok, but yes you should absolutely check the terms of the license before using. On the upside, almost everything is markdown files in regular folders, so you can fall back to vim anytime.
I don’t know if this will work for you, and I’m not sure if you’re only looking for TUI editors, but Obsidian has vi key bindings and a lot of plugins.
Disclaimer: I have not tried the vi key bindings in Obsidian.
Another one I use is vscode. It has a ton of markdown plugins and vi key bindings. It also has a nice preview window.
What do you mean? RedHat even used to come with an installer localized in their language.
So many links are going to go dead because of this. I’m sure plenty of software out there used this to automatically shorten links for posting on social media etc.
Most of these reports are about preview builds of Windows.
That said, surely you have seen recommendations from Microsoft to try their Office package and such oil up. It’s like that, but more intrusive.
I can’t believe Microsoft is making me switch from Windows to Mac and Linux, but here we are.
No. The wrong timing parameters could definitively break your hardware.

To manage packages on the terminal, I personally like to use aptitude which has a nice visual interface to find, install, and remove packages. It also lets you resolve conflicts interactively. If you do not want a separate tool, you can use apt-cache search to search for new packages.
As is typical with Linux, there are multiple ways to do it. I found an article that outlines a few alternatives.
I switched to self hosted Piwigo after Flickr started threatening to delete my photos a while back.
It had an extension that let me import all my photos from Flickr. Not sure if that still works after they changed hands.
It’s very easy to maintain; just click the update button in the Web UI. And it comes with a bunch of extensions.
This is the answer. Here in this US checks are still widely used, and sometimes, thanks to processing fees, the only payment except cash someone will accept. Mobile payments, though available, haven’t really taken off here like in Europe.
You haven’t lived until you’ve installed Slackware from floppy disks and compiled the necessary network drivers into the kernel by hand. Good times, but never again.
When you become a naturalized citizen of the US you have to renounce your allegiance to other countries, but you don’t have to give up your other citizenship.
It’s still legal tender so they have to accept it. They don’t like it, but they do. Last time I visited Norway I held up the line at the grocery store trying to buy candy with cash that had been gifted to me. I’m not sure the cashier knew what to do with it.
Edit: many people telling me they are not required. From what I could find, cash is still “tvunget betalingsmiddel”, but there are some broad exceptions. Ref. So, I don’t think I was out of line expecting to pay cash at the grocery store. However, that was the only time I paid cash when I visited last time, so yeah, it’s basically cashless already.
