Maybe Borland Turbo C? I also think Visual Basic for DOS had a text-mode UI editor.

In widescreen, the UI is unusable and gets very small on a video page for some reason. The overall design is genuinely overwhelming and feels like a bunch of components pasted in without any thought put into layout or scale.

It's a thin ChatGPT wrapper with AI-generated testimonial videos.

Is the plan to monetize this with paid 'gear' upgrades & 'claiming'? Feels a lot like an NFT project from 3 years ago.

Using a subdomain as a file URL feels vaguely wrong and I don't think it's very clear to the recipient what they're actually clicking on, but the UX is at least smooth. I don't think /file/[keyword] would be that bad.

Maybe avoid using AI art with mangled hands and a visually noisy generated logo for your branding.

I've had issues with some software & games not being able to get a proper display context and refusing to start.

I think this originates from Isaacson's biography and was about the iPod?

Literally any modern social media, YouTube comments, anything using client-side rendering frameworks

I also don't understand having a search interface not front-and-center and under the weird sub-brand of "SepiaSearch".

ArchiveBox works decently with Javascript and uses a headless browser, can be deployed with Docker

Krita still doesn't have a usable text tool or a way to change an image's color space.

To be replaced with a system providing a standardized method to give law enforcement easier "secure access" to your redacted personal information.

By 'note' I guess they mean rich text editor.

This just looks like a ChatGPT wrapper with a button that prompts it to explain a sentence in English. I don't see how this is better than an intentionally designed language-learning course, or just practicing a language by talking to any other language model. This does no actual teaching.

I thought that was just for unlocked bootloaders, I've never encountered issues having sideloading enabled.

Title's a Star Trek reference, and the video is a retrospective on YouTube, the state of algorithmic feeds, and its alternatives. It's largely an endorsement of Floatplane and the creator talks about moving to that platform.

I loved i.reddit, and really miss sites that were actually optimized for performance and low-end devices. It being removed kind of felt like a final nail in the coffin for that whole era. I think HTML Gmail was killed around that time too.

AACS.

They don't play on Chrome for Android, either.

I think the 360 backwards compatibility is a mix of emulation and certain parts being disassembled & recompiled for x86 with some black magic.

edit: Here's an interview with platform lead Bill Stillwell that goes into a lot more detail https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2017-xbox-one-x-bac...

The cat is cute but I'd rather not have it running in front of the text while I'm trying to read and use my cursor.

I'd be way more comfortable with a VPN or some kind of access-gating for a personal calendar compared to just exposing it on the web and relying on obscurity..

Clicked off as soon as I read "let's dive into"

Fandom.com's UI somehow continues to get worse every time I have to use it.. On a mobile browser it's not even obvious what the purpose of the wiki even is, just showing a grid of Trending Articles with the actual main page hidden in a dropdown at the very bottom of the page

Did you write this with a language model or do you just like emojis, numbered lists, and went out of your way to insert an em-dash?

"Streaming" as most people think of it is "heavily compressed video optimized for low bandwidth being piped over a network", usually with no user choice of resolution, encoding, or playback settings
