Yes, the title the author chose is a bit err, clickbaity. But there were still decent introductions to few old IDEs. Maybe if he had covered more(maybe some niche ones?), it would have been better.

I think Hyper was another Electron based terminal. And talking of terminal and Linux, there exists an electron based file manager for Linux as well. I wonder who exactly their target audience for that is though.

Is this what Google thinks people want than stuff like editing Playlist covers, removal of Samples, et al? I want my music player to be lean and simple, not a boggy useless mess.

Isn't maintaining LFS a pain for the long run?

What the article doesn't mention is that the watch also has a LTPO display and the refresh rate can dial way down (especially in AOD mode) to conserve battery life.

Wired review.

I thought - - no-preserve root also needed to be added as an argument for self destruct to completely work.

Some internet banking sites give access after only asking for login password. They will only ask for transaction password and OTP (that will only come on phone) later on. Asking for two passwords isn't necessarily more secure since many people will just reuse their original one again. And OTP instead of offering something like hardware security key is insane.

I also use Iceraven. I think, apart from Smart cookiewebpreview, it's the only one that allows for extension sideloading.

I read the conversation and someone should put logic into the guy's head who claims that British industrialised India. As Manchester industrialised, the Indian sub continent was actively not allowed to reap any benefits of it and deliberately kept only as source of raw materials. The theory of Britain industrialised and hence, it's GDP skyrocketed carefully skips the fact that it controlled a significant part of the world by military might.

I also like how he rebukes by saying that you must have read Marxist historian. I would much rather believe a historian than a reddit user.

Churchill had a negative view of all kinds of people. He is quoted as saying I am in favor of using poisonous gases against uncivilised tribes or I do not admit ... for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia..

As for Bengal famine, when the then Viceroy of India asked Churchill about this, IIRC, he replied that if the famine was so bad, why wasn't Gandhi dead yet?

Many defend Churchill as a person of his time but that is contextually untrue. The Vice President of US, Wallace under Roosevelt found Churchill's views very condemning when the later started boasting about English superiority to him as well.

Atleast in charging standards that Oneplus and that some manufacturers use called SuperVooc, two battery cells are charged simultaneously. Whilst fast charging is inherently bad for the battery, it's not that bad as it's made out to be.
