The only things I’ve encountered that don’t work are webusb things and snapchat but snapchat you can just change user agent and it’s fine.

Interesting, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a laptop where it was soldered.

Also keep in mind that laptop wifi cards are usually easily replaceable, so if you end up with that being the only problem it’s usually cheap and easy to solve

Isn’t it partially closed source though?

Wow, even if they weren’t doing that, the developer response there is enough to make me avoid your product. People pointing out your lies is not “harassment”.

The ones that are made by humans

I’m not aware of a modern browser that doesn’t render it by default. I meant a real browser as in a browser not a lemmy client

It’s punycode, it displays as japanese characters in a real browser.

I wonder if these were just placeholder images put in by the UI designers that no one remembered to replace with real photos

This is why I use fish, it’s weird and not posix compliant, but its autocomplete and history stuff saves so much time it’s worth it

$315???

Yeah it’s so weird when you think about how arbitrary separating pronouns by gender really is. I feel like it would make way more sense to have multiple ungendered ones that work similar to the way we have this and that to talk about two different inanimate objects

I think the best thing to do is to not block them when they’re detected but poison them instead. Feed them tons of text generated by tiny old language models, it’s harder to detect and also messes up their training and makes the models less reliable. Of course you would want to do that on a separate server so it doesn’t slow down real users, but you probably don’t need much power since the scrapers probably don’t really care about the speed

The HP 49g+/39g+ and their descendants the 50g/39gs run the same operating systems as the older 49g/39g except most of it runs in an emulator so they could replace the old Saturn CPUs with ARM ones. And it still runs way faster than the native version on the older devices somehow.

Plus the entire operating system is written in Reverse Polish Lisp, one of the strangest languages I’ve ever seen. Very strange devices, but still leagues ahead of any calculator produced since (at least the 49/50, the 39 is very confusing)

Haiku is pretty unix-like, I wouldn’t count it

OpenVMS is still semi-maintained. It’s DEC’s old operating system that Windows NT draws some inspiration from because Microsoft hired a bunch of ex-DEC engineers.

There’s also 9front, a fork of Bell Labs’ Plan9.

Wegmans’ checkout uses Toshiba 4690 OS, which I think is vaguely descended from CP/M.

I think IBM still maintains their i operating system, which used to be called OS/400.

Network equipment like enterprise routers and switches tend to run weird unique things, Cisco equipment runs IOS and Adtran equipment runs AOS.

They’re probably beneficial for people with their own wells

I mean hierarchy is how we find any specific item in the real world though, so it seems like the best way to organize things on a computer. If I’m looking for a pair of scissors I know to go into my house, into my kitchen, into the drawer, and take the scissors. You can use tagging and things to search, but having that be the main way of accessing files will never be as reliable or repeatable as just looking where you know the file is.

I think part of the problem is that while Linux software is constantly getting more user friendly, the average user is getting less knowledgeable about computers at just as fast of a rate. People even understanding the concept of files and folders doesn’t seem to be a given anymore.

I used to wear men’s large/medium shirts depending on how the sizes for the particular item were, now I wear a women’s medium/small. I haven’t lost weight it just turns out I was wearing shirts that didn’t fit for many years
