Look for second hand UltraNavs
Nvidia's acquisition of Stexar.

Official release notes: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/115.0/releasenotes/

Also of note is that this is the last major version of Firefox for Windows 7 and Windows 8, as well as macOS 10.12, 10.13, and 10.14.

If that's all it takes then I pre-order five copies.

I wish people would stop sharing LWN subscriber links for karma. They're not meant to be shared in social news websites. https://lwn.net/op/FAQ.lwn#slinks

Re:Ask HN: Have you ever switched cloud? on Thursday April 07, 2022 @11:34AM (#30945855)

Not sure who needs to know this but scribe.rip is a relatively new alternative reader for Medium. The original article is at: https://medium.com/startup-grind/what-every-software-enginee...

HN's special treatment of medium.com links doesn't apply to scribe ones.

One reason to keep on pushing bad content despite knowing the user will not watch them is to hide the fact how small their catalogue is and shift the blame onto user's particular taste.
