The Three Gorges Dam has already given us 22 more microseconds in the year. Basically, the Chinese have converted the angular momentum of every molecule on Earth, including you... into electricity.

You're making this up to justify subscription model guilt. Nobody (besides those on here) EXPECTS this. In fact, most would rather live with the risks than deal with subscription model, let alone the headaches of updating and it breaking everything (i.e. causing a chain reaction that you have to update EVERYTHING in order to fix a small non-issue).

I, in fact, do NOT want continuous maintenance. Ever. I will literally never turn on auto-updates for the rest of my life.

This lame argument should be added to the List of Fallacies. It's used everywhere as a "wild card" argument.

What if I see a browser being "behind" as a benefit? (CVEs excepted)

What ever happened to μC/OS?

Seemed both well documented and well suited to have taken over for the current MCU explosion. I almost never see anyone talk about it.

Looks like it open-sourced in 2020.

iBeacon. They know what shelf you're standing in front of. What products you touch and read.

Ever been in an Apple store? Look up. In the dark voids between the edge-to-edge backlit ceiling. There are secrets there. Watching you.

This will pair nicely with the eps8266 i just flashed after ripping it out of a Wyze plug that required I download their app, updating my operating system first of course, make an account and agree to their privacy policy.

Why is it still called Xcode, if they abandoned the name OS X?

I'm not gaslighting you. Are you just willy nilly accusing me of lying that nothing was covered up in MYYYYY browser? What about Lynx? hmm? What a garbage community member you are.

I just re-read the entire thing. It is good. You're misrepresenting or you need to check your browser settings.

No image blocks any paragraph, which even if it had, would be far more forgivable than modern web design. Do you consider any of Apple's modern product pages -- which "block off whole portions of" the page itself by scrolljacking and Clockwork-Oranging you to force you to watch their hypnotic marketing animations -- bad?

Let me guess, you want a site that is just a singular column of text, plenty of space for ad breaks, and 3/4 of your monitor is just whitespace on the left and right?

Joke lost in translation. He's implying those who engage in these types of nonsense release notes often add bugs instead of fixing them.

I read every single one. Any app that does this gets uninstalled and a nasty letter to software managers.
