« […] Mais quand la technologie est repensée, déviée de sa finalité instrumentale et pragmatique, elle devient alors l’occasion d’une expérience esthétique, un moyen d’échange intersubjectif d’émotions, de sentiments, d’idées, de connaissances ; elle prend sens. »

Two PSAs:-

1)
Anyone using 123-REG with UK DD payment needs to change it to another method. Well, I do, or I'll lose 2 domains by default.

2)
If you use a Win OS below Win 10, Chrome nags you. Every single time. I'm testing a small website from VSCode and it's a PITA.

This registry key is a working STFU:-
HKEY_CURRENT\USER\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\
Add a dword=1 called
SuppressUnsupportedOSWarning
And Chrome behaves next time it's started.

1/2 On the death of #win8:

t was IMO too drastic a departure from the previous Windows-es. If MS kept with the Metro design, I think people would've thought higher of 8 later on. A case of "someone moved my cheese".

The fact that you had 2 control panels/centres, was laughable in inconsistency. And everything had to be full screen for some odd reason. Why?

It took them 2 service packs to properly display the shutdown dialog buttons.

They could not even get MS flagship products (Office) to use Metro. Which means, office workers were in this weird limbo of Win32-style apps with WPF/Metro apps. You are either in Metro land with its full screen tiled start menu, or you're in the "legacy" mode with a task bar.

At least in task bar land you can run more than 2 apps at once.

MS later backed down on Metro design and watered it down for Win 10.

¿Lograré *por fin* instalar un #Linux que no me vuelva loco en el portátil del 2014?
El #Win8 se queda obsoleto y me fallan cosas muy tontas, pero mis pruebas virtuales con distros ligeras han supuesto un quebradero de cabeza tras otro.
Igual tiro con Ubuntu y cruzo los dedos.

#Browsers are ending their support for Windows 7 and 8.1 in 2023. Vivaldi dev and security expert Yngve Pettersen explains the challenges faced by browsers as to why they end support of various operating system versions.

Being based on Chromium, the updates removing support for #Win7 and #Win8.1 will be coming in #Chromium 110 which will be the foundation for the next #Vivaldi release after v5.6 - will we be able to maintain support?
