The most important thing for me as I am using ST since ca. 2009. I am retro programming fan and ST is the only editor that still allows me to conveniently work on windowses across 98 to 7. I am not using the most recent version, heck I haven't upgraded it for few years now, but I hope the compatibility still remains.

Have they tried with puzzles used by Rockstar Games or HBO Max to reset a password? They are impossible to solve, asking to solve 17 questions and more and still failing you to retry with higher count. Even the audio version is quite innovative

Can you please link the extension you use for that purpose?

Amazon has one of most ridiculous and terrible UI's that are outdated and difficult to navigate with so I wouldnt take anything from there to follow any standards

I am not a pro in the subject, but does it mean the data still needs to reach the bridge on cpu first? What I am thinking of now is that with DX12 there's already a direct access to SSD's for fastes data copy to NVRAM, why then couldn't this benefit of losing some hops whenever reaching for data that is already onboard?

Actually this is my favourite feature of my work thinkpad. Especially during winter. Really. Besides tons of disadvantages of the platform for the price.

Hi, my only suggestion I immediately had is that if you're paging the content on mobile scroll, then for client performance reasons you could be unloading the older pages from the very top otherwise my experience ends at nearly few scrolls where my cpu says it is done.

What's your source of knowledge for Windows scheduler? You made me curious that we can actually know this

I hate any design that forces me to wait any amount of time. I could be another step forward if convenient enough, but no... I had to wait the hardcoded seconds. There's never a valid amount of seconds to wait to indicate something that will make everyone happy. Just skip the wait, let the user decide its own pace to consume the ui.

New comment by ixmerof in "Samsung’s “repair mode” lets technicians look at your phone, not your data"

ixmerof — Sat, 30 Jul 2022 21:19:07 +0000

That's both odd and interesting, my only experience with official repair services was that they always were starting ANY job by wiping the entire device. That was always written in bold letters that's what I have to agree for. Their answer on why it is required was always that's the only way to test the phone is fully functional as from factory with default config. Thus... I started fixing them on my own.

I agree, once I had that time with my only apple device I was constantly looking for settings/tweaks/hacks to disable most of default annoyances. Most of them required hacking through the system files as there is almost none of available options to configure
