Cybersecurity. Have been in it since before it was a thing (25+ years!) Infinite respect for the many good people and defenders who keep our world running, but I’m done and getting out.

De-clickbait - as a stain for biological samples used in electron microscopy.

That’s odd. I tried the URL in a couple of different browsers and it loaded correctly. Anyone else have problems loading it?

I’m decent at math, versed in PEMDAS / BOMDAS, and confess that I arrived at 1 until I read this mathematician’s take on the topic: https://mindyourdecisions.com/blog/2019/07/31/what-is-8-÷-22-2-the-correct-answer-explained/ (hint: it’s as much about typography and changing interpretations as it is about math).

When did the New York Times debase themselves by using clickbait headlines?

Very useful info, thank you for posting this. I don’t yet see iOS 18.7.3 available in the device software update section (perhaps it’s a staggered rollout), but I do see iOS 26.2.

Ah, righto. That was an old rule in many subreddits. Seems to vary a bit by Lemmy community, though. I just cringe at clickbait!

A friendly request - please de-clickbait your headlines and say what the material is (although you do mention it in your summary).

That was a rule in some subreddits. I’ve found that, on Lemmy, de-clickbaiting headlines is generally appreciated.

I’m not anti-capitalist, I’m just content with the things I have.

Perfectly happy with my iPhone 14 Pro Max, which has better build quality than the current offering, and my half decade old Surface Book Pro (running Linux, naturally) – also built like a tank. When I need extra compute or storage, my NAS and home server await. For really serious stuff, I can always fire up an EC2 instance. Propping up the economy through consumerism is not my concern. This feels like a sponsored piece, akin to all of those articles after COVOD exhorting us to go back to the office full time.

I’m heartened to see a younger person taking an interest in vintage computing topics! *nix / Linux window manager customization (a la Enlightenment) is still a very active space (for instance, on Lemmy, look at the “unixporn” communities - SFW despite the name, featuring user WM customizations). I hope you’ll continue writing!

Nicely done. I was charmed by the perspective in this article, which struck me as at that of a systems archaeologist rather than someone who was there at the time using the interfaces. I cut my teeth on twm and CDE, eventually moved to fvwm, and then turned pro by becoming a SGI IRIX admin.

The diversity of window managers at the time was impressive; I’d liken it to cars in the 1950s and 60s with chrome, vents and fins in every possible configuration in stark contrast to today’s bland automobile designs. The Enlightenment WM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightenment_(window_manager) ) was a particular favorite due to its customization possibilities.

Bravo for de-clickbaiting the headline!

That just reduces, rather than disabling the effect completely, correct?

When they add a real off switch for Liquid Glass, I’ll upgrade to iOS 26. Until then, 18.7.1 and my trusty 14 Pro Max will sustain me.

Downvoted for:

• Clickbaity headline.
• Annoying YouTube thumbnail face.

The Wikipedia article says nothing about how this material has been archived or backed up. Has it been preserved?

Disturbingly, the IA Wayback Machine has been returning 429: Too Many Requests in response to requests for linked material (for example https://web.archive.org/web/20060206141217/http://www.buddhapia.com/buddhapi/news/campaign/haeinsa/e_p10.html ).

One of the fallacies of the EU anti-charger legislation is that the buyer may well have multiple USB-C chargers, but not have one which fulfills the charging requirements of the device (USB-C power delivery is a complicated thicket of wattages and capabilities as this PC World article notes: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2331534/the-bewildering-world-of-usb-c-charging-explained.html ).

The 96W charger shown is at the higher end of USB-C’s power delivery profiles, which further lessens the chance that a user will have an optimal charger on hand.

Thank you for all of these posts. Inspiring!
