@confusedbunny A lot of printers lie about printing in monochrome mode and use the color inks (usually yellow but sometimes cyan) to print microscopic dots in the margins as an identifier. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_

Good: Links LS runs on my Toshiba Libretto!
Bad: Links LS requires a screen res of 800x600, and the Libretto only does 640x480. So all the UI (swing meter and all) is pushed off screen where I can't see to click on it.

@mcc Chef Peter Pepper is in a hell of his own making after a traumatizing argument over what ingredients do and do not belong on burgers, as homicidal sunny side up eggs and hot dogs aim to chase him down and end him utterly for his ignorance. the pickles are there too because they felt left out

every ROM of the Arabic MSX clone the Sakhr computer has been dumped and emulated, available in the browser at file-hunter.com/Arabic/

not sure if ive shared this before but its an incredible resource

Got this neat guy for 5 USD at a Goodwill - they'd put it out in the Toys section. It's a Phillips Nino 500, running Windows CE 2.11, from 1999. Amazingly it still boots as soon as I've got batteries in it, and even communicates with my other WinCE device, but its lack of Windows Explorer makes installing software very difficult, as it can't show me the contents of internal storage or of the inserted CF card. I need to figure out how to Active Sync it - which means finding a cable that works. ๐Ÿ˜ž

today's German word for you: Vorfรผhreffekt

n., the phenomenon that something which was previously working correctly, suddenly does not work correctly when one tries to demonstrate the operation to others.

@wohali is there an opposite word to this, when you are trying to demonstrate a thing *not* working correctly (e.g. to a technical support person), except that it suddenly works perfectly in their presence? or is that technically still the same thing?

So that's that: Firefox is now the only useful browser in the world.

Meanwhile, Google controls nearly the entire web browser market, far more than Microsoft ever did at the height of the original browser wars.

Using Chromium based products makes you less safe.
