Is there a way to increase the size of the Safari scrollbar?

The title string was slightly too long for HN limits so I had to truncate somewhere :^)

This is exactly why individuals should not be allowed to have tens (let alone hundreds!) of billions of dollars in wealth - they become all-powerful and too easily subvert the will of the people. They become their own ruling class, which is unacceptable in a functioning democracy.

Boy, that really sucks - sorry you were abused & gaslighted like that. Glad things are better now!
Re:I got pwned by my cloud costs on Monday January 24, 2022 @09:21AM (#30057868)
It's unconscionable that MS doesn't have warning notifications in place BY DEFAULT, so when you start incurring charges e.g. 10x of normal, you get notified immediately. One shouldn't have to set these up manually ever.

It's a bug. There is a capital eszett now, as of 2017. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F

Get this guy a couch - someone has a case of the vapours. PRERELEASED SOFTWARE HAS A BUG IN IT OMG! Yes, there are still going to be problems. No, it's not the end of the world and there's still time to fix it. This is a tempest in a teapot and utterly not worth the screen space on HN.

I have definitely seen that happen before. It's good that you are at least noticing it! If you want to move out of that mindset, talking to a counselor of some sort is probably going to be useful. Change is hard, but it can happen. Good luck.

Executive Summary: 3.0.2 is "safe"; further versions TBD.
Re:MVT – forensic tool to look for infections on smartphones on Wednesday July 21, 2021 @08:41AM (#27905483)
Has anyone found a (the) good "Indicators" (IoC) file to compare against? I have a number of large JSON files as the output of the tool, but it's way too much to sort through manually.

Thanks for doing this. Any chance of providing pre-built binaries for those who don't have the tools handy/aren't that skilled in building?

Seems like a good thing to do for high-value items is video record any unboxing. That will certainly go a long way in helping to prove the correct contents were in the box when first opened. I will be doing that from now on.
