Yep, what few “features” the screen has have all been turned off, it is just kind of crap, when it got its (singular) software update, the update progress screen was displaying the top half of its frame on both halves of the screen.

But if a codec change or such happens (like to AV1 or h.265), it might not, we have an older 4k smart tv (Sharp Aquos LC-60UE30U) that can’t handle 4k streaming without dropping to single digit fps.

I partially misremembered, it was “View Image” and I updated the above post with details.

My bad, I misremembered, it was “View Image”, “Open Image in New Tab” was what Mozilla claimed was the solution in the bug tracker. It was removed in v88

HDR, hardware accelerated/parallelized layout/browser engine (servo)

The “open image in new tab” context menu option, off the top of my head, it has been 1000 small things with them, no 1 outrageous removal, but tons of them that didnt make big impacts yet still annoyed people who used them.

Edit: It was actually “View Image”, “Open Image in New Tab” was the alternative that remained. It was removed in v88

Looking it up I cant seem to find it, so I might be wrong. It may not have been lenovo but I remember news years ago about some OEM getting caught doing that.

Didn’t the superfish certificate install itself from UEFI even if you used your own windows image?

Im still annoyed we didn’t get these.

Except they can, remember fidget spinners?

To add on to what you said, the way I’ve always described my stance on the corporations are people argument is that I will believe they are people when Texas gives one the death penalty.

Fair, but alot of people are going to wind up on a corporate social media anyways, and if they aren’t willing to jump over to more private options this is a mitigation of the damage and simultaneously is an act of defiance, so while not the best choice, I still regard it as better than, say, anything Meta owns. So I feel this shouldnt be beaten down on so hard, but rather used as a chance to say “Yeah, that is a step, but here are some better options”. Talking down about their choice on a platform they already aren’t on as if it is somehow worse than what is being pushed on them is just screaming into the void.

I understand it perfectly, if american companies harvest their data, their govt is only a step from having it, and companies over here have immediate use of that data.

If the chinese companies have it, the chinese govt has it, and then what? Is china gonna prosecute us internationally with the info? At minimum they are making the US companies and govt crawl to china for the data they so desperately want.

Like, the US gets more use of data on US citizens than China would. Maybe if the concern was improving the security of american apps and data I would see the point, but seeing how many american companies continue to get away with it, it is blatant “America Good, others Bad”

Eh, I support places moving time zone but a bigger factor for me is also linguistic, it doesnt make sense for high noon at the place the time zone is defined at to be at 1 in the afternoon, the one thing I think alot of people can agree with is that 12 should be noon or as close as possible and I feel that DST works against this.

I support standard time more, the 12 o clock at the center of the timezone should be noon, not having noon at 1PM, and day lengths are better on average without. DST makes it better, but only for sunset times, it makes the mornings drastically worse and I think employers and schools should just change their hours if they care so much about sunlight when they leave.

Scruffing a cat poisons it into a coma?

But he only said he scruffed them (if I am reading it right), not that he grabbed them by the scruff, is this apparently something that is considered abusive or something? If a cat claws at my leg and I pinch there to make it stop that is absolutely not the same as grabbing them there. I would never actually try lifting them that way.

Right? You can’t even get ear drops that work anymore because all of the ones they stock over the counter are homeopathic where I live.

By my understanding yes, pseudoephedrine was being used for meth so they put it behind the counter and the name brand “Sudafed” made a PE line that was this, phenylephrine, to stay over the counter.
