Re:How my e-reader lost its stripes on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @05:49AM (#49710027)
I have a x4 (the old one with usb-c charging) and reading feels pretty comfortable to me, even with poor eyesight. I also tried using it to read a comic book at one point, but that was unreadable due to small letters/low resolution.
Re:Concertmaster – Classical music front-end for Spotify on Wednesday December 13, 2017 @04:51AM (#15913213)
Cool app idea! I listen to a lot less classical music than I would like exactly due to the problem you are trying to solve.

I have the loading screen problem running the linux version aswell. Running the app with logging enabled gives the following output. Hopefully this helps you with debugging.

Re:Skype Vanishes from App Stores in China, Including Apple’s on Tuesday November 21, 2017 @10:27AM (#15748462)
Seems like The New York Times has invented a new annoying method of mouse hijacking. When click selecting the text while reading I am `swiping` to the next article on desktop. And double click increases font size?
Re:How Firefox Got Fast Again on Monday November 13, 2017 @11:29AM (#15687639)
Thanks, this seems to work. I found the no-remote option when looking around, but accidentally lauching private_dot_com (nsfw) a couple of times at work instead of my private profile ended my testing with this last time.
Re:How Firefox Got Fast Again on Monday November 13, 2017 @10:44AM (#15687230)
It looks like this doesn't allow you to separate history, addons, bookmarks, or move your current tab to a container. I am sticking with google for now.
Re:How Firefox Got Fast Again on Monday November 13, 2017 @10:29AM (#15687113)
I have been thinking of switching back from Chrome to Firefox. I haven't been able to find decent profile support though (so I can keep work and private data separate), and all profiles addons are broken at the moment.

Re:Why Germans pay cash for almost everything on Tuesday August 08, 2017 @10:06AM (#14957861)
This is still the case in the Netherlands. Most stores don't accept credit cards, debit cards are prevalent here.
Re:IPv6 Adoption on Wednesday July 26, 2017 @08:45AM (#14855696)
Would that DS-lite solution explain why VPN connections to my AWS vps seem really spotty on ipv6 connections?
Re:IPv6 Adoption on Wednesday July 26, 2017 @05:04AM (#14854612)
When I got a new connection from Ziggo last year I got an ipv6 adres, so they seem to have started to roll this out in the Netherlands as well.
Are you honestly implying that google, a multi billion dollar corporation hasn't 'won'?
Re:Smell PGH lets you report weird smells in Pittsburgh on Thursday June 22, 2017 @11:39AM (#14612988)
I guess that would be a system like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_chromatography%E2%80%93mas... ?
That project is mentioned in the credits section of the github page
