So Net Neutrality is killed. Now what?

FF 42 + later requires each permission to be entered separately for http and https versions of a domain (and requires the full address to be written out: https:// example.org, http:// example.org).

Mozilla really fucked up the cookie manager's exemption list. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I could buy a new external HDD for my computer's backups, but I know there will be an even larger one available next year and I'll probably regret my decision.

I paid RM999 for an i7-6700. Just now, almost a year later, I saw that very model on sale at the same store for RM1431. With the 8th gen now coming out, I'd expected the price to drop down further. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Ethernet in my dorm is crapping out and nobody's paying anything to get it fixed. At the same time, nobody cares enough about it to make the dorm fix it. Maybe once it gets worse.

Yay. Got back 6GB free space on my HDD after reinstalled MS Word & Excel (with updates up to Dec 2017 integrated in the installation disc).

If Eelo succeeds, it will complement my Lumia phone, not replace it.

Google's Product Sans is a fantastic font
Too bad it has a proprietary license that makes it unusable
Oh well, at least I can use it locally

The new Firefox update is pretty good

One year warranty period for an SSD is just plain pathetic, even if it is a budget/mainstream product.

Use a VPN, man.

There's actually a clothing brand named Steve Jobs? And it isn't related to Apple? Hmmm... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Freeing up space on my phone after transferring all my photos to my computer, then deleting them from the phone. I've got two and a half years worth of stuff that I've copied over. It's the end of an era.

2018 is the year GTribe finally give in and release a UWP app.

Good god I hate Android's e-reader apps
They all try to overcompensate or do stupid shit like displaying your books in a fancy virtual shelf
I don't want a stupid virtual shelf that's impossible to manage, I just want a goddamn list of the books I have on my device, ideally without thumbnails or stupid animated transitions
AND WHY DOES A READER APP NEED TO COLLECT USAGE STATS

GTribe is a lie. Faggots. Faggots everywhere. Even the founder himself. Everyone pretending to be nice, like GTribe is the best place on Earth.

Spoiler text - Highlight to read...

Yup. Can't return to Gtribe anymore, since I just insulted Angel Munoz and made some racist comments. That PM marks the point of no return for me. Looks like I'll be just sticking solely to EH Forum from now on and be a total troll all over FB. I've asked totally nice at first. Angel even said UWP version will come after iOS and Android version is released. Now suddenly they went back on their word - Satan Nadella style. One year of waiting with utter patience, all for nothing. It's not like I'm requesting for something illegal or unethical, like letting me cheat on their giveaways. To think I almost gave away US150 for their stupid premium membership and gained nothing significant in return. As if a membership cert signed by the founder himself is worth anything.

Seriously, I spent an hour and a half finding for a wallpaper for my phone without success.
Has no one ever considered the fact that there will be a bunch of icons overlaid on the wallpaper?

bunch of icons overlaid on the wallpaper

But isn't it always like that?

But isn't it always like that?

Well, the way I have my phone set up is: I have 2-3 rows of icons on each page, with the remaining rows empty. So ideally, the subject of the wallpaper aka my waifu should occupy the bottom third of the screen with the rest being backdrop.

Almost all of the wallpapers I find, have my waifu take up almost the whole screen. No matter what configuration you try, there will always be some stuff blocking her, which makes it unsightly.

I guess I can relate to that.
