Probably some telemetry-related connection, they recently-ish backported all their telemetry crap as far back as Windows 7

"This is site feels really sluggish, I wonder why"



Opening 150 separate iframes on the same page sounds like a great idea

My god, I totally forgot that I made a Mediafire account 10 years ago so I could backup all the hentai mangas I downloaded back then. Needless to say, it was a bad idea. Some of the files are gone now, because free account doesn't support "Long Term Storage". Moreover, I can't believe they still retain my free 50GB storage when new free users only get 10GB right now.

Which site is that?

Which site is that?

Some random forum I came across while looking for something else
In fairness, I think the script on the page probably entered some sort of feedback loop with my extensions (tried to some open an iframe > extension stopped it > script detected iframe didn't open correctly and tried to open a new one > loop), I'd like to think no one in their right mind would try to open that many iframes (or any at all)

Just got new headphones! Superlux HD681

They are not only cheaper but is either as good as or better in all ways than my previous headphones.

Congratz on your purchase. May it serve your ears well into the far future. What was your previous headphone by the way?

Thanks.

It was a Sennheiser HD180. During the time, it was a steal since it was 50% off.
It still works but the wire sheath have started peeling off so it won't be very long before it dies. Been using it for almost 2 years.

God-like speed I'm getting today.

This week, I will try to get rid of the dust in my pc to get the temperatures below 50°C

You know what the world needs?
A file manager application that can detect the presence of .gitignore files and automatically exclude ignored files/directories from filesystem operations (copy, move, etc.)

Did Trump just legalized the sale of user browser history by ISPs?

I’m writing to let you know that we will end our investment in Unity8, the phone and convergence shell.
We will shift our default Ubuntu desktop back to GNOME for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Only took them 7 years but they finally sobered up

the phone and convergence shell.

Sort of like what M$ is trying to do. Except the effort is being led by a shareholder's dog on a leash. That egghead is far from a visionary.

Well, of course what's left of the Windows Phone community is "imploding". No surprises really. MS has given up on the phone business and Windows Mobile altogether. Didn't do enough to get 3rd party OEM on board to produce Windows Phones. Didn't do anything about users and developers leaving their mobile platform. So far being silent about their mobile plans. Refused to address community concerns. If anything, MS is now bolstering their rival mobile platforms. Satya Nadella is only repeating the same failures all over again. Where is GFWL now? Where is Windows Marketplace now? Where is Zune now? And look what happened to the Band. In the end, that egghead is just a businessman, no different from Ballmer. A shareholders' dog. Yes, he's intelligent enough for focusing resources on businesses that makes the most money. But still far from a visionary. By the time Windows 10 on ARM is finished and the Surface Phone released, Windows Mobile's market share has long reached 0%. So why anyone who has jumped ship to Android and iOS - users and developers alike, would even want care about MS' latest mobile effort?

I would never have used TinyPng had I realized how shitty their results were.

Need new image compression tool......

The de facto standard is optipng. pngcrush is an alternative.

Both do not alter the image, they just bruteforce combinations of compression options until they arrive at a well compressed file. (compression strategies depend on the contents of the image, so higher compression do not always mean a smaller file)

Thanks. I'll give those a try and see how it goes.

Frankly, I'll probably never find these tools had you not suggested them. They would do well with a GUI, a proper website and offering online services.

OptiPNG/pngcrush/ZopfliPNG/etc. do lossless optimization, TinyPNG/pngquant/pngqn/etc. do lossy compression through color quantization
Quantizers will generally degrade the quality of the PNG since they reduce the size of the color space; 24-bit PNGs (2^24 = ~16 million colors) are converted to 8-bit PNGs (2^8 = 256 colors) while leaving the alpha channel untouched
The degradation is especially evident when compressing large PNGs with a lot of colors (it's not a coincidence that TinyPNG uses small PNG as an example in their homepage)

Yahoo don't know shit about optimizing their sites for low speed connections. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
