A large majority of modern web applications are built with Javascript… Both frontend and backend. You do still have a large majority of websites using plain HTML or PHP, with some features requiring JS to function (modals, realtime stats, data input, etc).

You also have alternative languages like Java or C# (and more), but also may use bits of JS on the frontend to drive functionality.

You can bet that the majority of websites you visit nowadays will use some form of JS, unless it’s a static webpage to display basic information.

Until you freeze it… Diarrhea ice cream!

I had always disabled chat in RL. Nothing good really ever came through it.

Out of curiosity, would they be subject to these laws/protocols/regulations if they are (developers or organization) based in the US, but offer releases hosted elsewhere in the world AND/OR develop the product with code hosted elsewhere in the world?

It is informative, but how often does the average person read this kind of information? Especially when they are set on doing something simple, such as turning off Bluetooth. What if you never use the settings menu, and only turn it off from the notification drawer? They never see that information. Not to mention that it’s such a small option (even though it’s a big paragraph) that they make it seem like they don’t want the user to disable it completely.

What they should do, is when the user disables Bluetooth the first time (anywhere on the phone), a pop up is at least shown to instruct the user that it is still scanning in the background. That way the user is informed. OR, hear me out, have background scanning disabled by default and prompt the user to enable it the first time they disable Bluetooth.

When I was in high school, the history teacher you got was like winning the lottery. One teacher showed war movies and had “fun” assignments related to that movie. The other teacher had written assignments almost every class.

I got super lucky… He was a fantastic teacher. Last I heard, some students ratted on him and he had to change his curriculum.

For fun, I tried to find similar or same items for a local grocery store to me to see the price difference… it’s roughly $160CAD. That’s a crazy difference.

Minus a few things on the left, cause it’s hard to tell what they are.

I mean, the top says “up to”, which technically means Amazon doesn’t even need to apply a discount. I would be more concerned if it said “save 25% today” and then dropped to “save 5% today.”

There’s a couple things… First, it’s a habit to be constantly pressing CTRL+S. I’ve been doing it for many years, I’ll continue to do it probably until I stop using a keyboard. It’s such an easy keystroke, since my hands are almost always hovering over the keyboard. Second, in some software you can create new documents without first creating a file on disk. This means that when I go to hit CTRL+S, it prompts me to save the file. That’s not to say that some software can’t save a recovery version of the document in the event the software crashes, but I’m not going to bet money on it working 100% of the time. I’d rather be proactive and personally make sure my work is saved. Gives me peace of mind.

Yeah, I don’t trust the auto save to save my work properly. I work as a Software Engineer, and any small change I make, even if I’m not done with the change and I’m just thinking, my hands immediately default to CTRL+S.

Always always make sure your work is being saved if it means something to you. Especially since windows will force update and reboot your computer. Battery’s can die, power can go out and your computer shuts down. Applications can and will crash.

Not every iOS device uses a SIM card, and not every SIM enabled device uses one. It’s a potential way to verify location, but not a reliable one.

It’s possible, but I wouldn’t put it past Apple to ignore the VPN when checking your location. I’d suspect they’d check using more than 1 approach (Internet, GPS, country on your Apple account, etc) to verify your location.

Not necessarily. A burrito can have one or both ends closed off. So it can also be a quiche or a calzone.

Well, there’s something I haven’t thought of before haha. That’s too simple. I will have to try that next time I have a chance!

I unfortunately can’t tape anything where my cat’s water is, because it’s in front of an attic door that I access from time to time… Unless I stock up on tape and re-tape it every time.

I bought one of those last year. It was tipped over and water was all over the floor. So that asshole just has a normal bowl, and he seems content.

Boxes serve him well. My cat gets very bored of a toy after using it maybe once or twice, so buying toys is basically a waste. Just cut some string, or tinfoil ball, etc, and it’ll make him very happy.

8 ball pool. The popups/ads suck, but you can play time attack mode on single player offline. Also a good time killer while online.

I don’t know the full details, but I’ve read that Apple may be dropping the requirement to use WebKit within third party browsers in the near future. Something to look forward to.
