Firefox 136 finally brings the features that fans wanted

Re: No trust

I'm not far enough into nutcase libtard leftist territory to use LibreWolf. If you aren't so far left that Karl Marx looks like a MAGA Republican, LibreWolf doesn't want your business.

HP deliberately adds 15 minutes waiting time for telephone support calls

yeah but...

Sure, using their online "help" site ("... you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...")

I would ALREADY have looked at their online reference site before even trying to call. And quite likely I found their online site to be a steaming pile of dogshit.

GNOME 48 beta is another nail in X11's coffin

Only one thing...

There's only *ONE* thing I want from GNOME: for them to ***STOP*** fucking-over GTK+ for any non-Gnome projects.

Dropbox to shed another 500 staff, CEO takes 'full responsibility'

Re: Nothing to do with AI

That's just it. A reasonable price for just the features I need. Not going to pay BOHICA prices to use one little piece of a mega-bundle when I have no need for any of the rest of it.

Apple throws shade on pokey AI PCs, claims its maxed out M4 chips are 4x faster

If Trump gets elected, get your tech buying done asap

Why worry about the potential of 60% tarrifs? You should be MORE concerned about the 200% increases in prices should Commie-La Harris get elected.

But, as usual, El-Reg is infested with TDS.

Microsoft tries out wooden bit barns to cut construction emissions

But what is Microsoft going to do about the emissions from their crap software?

An awful lot of FOSS should thank the Academy

And just why should we be thanking "the Academy" for the shit that passes as movies from the Academy members? Doesn't matter if the films are made with OpenSource or Proprietary software, it's still shit.

Re: bit hypocritical?

Did you mean "tools" as in the software being used, or "tools" as in the persons using the software?

Oracle, SUSE and others caught up in RHEL drama hit back with OpenELA

Bug4bug?

It seems to me that if your software is *SO* dependent on a specific bug being in a specific place in a specific file in the host OS, there is something *severely* wrong in your software design and engineering. That sort of sloppy coding went away in the mid-latter days of MS-DOS.
