Because it still fits as a legitimately useful bit of tech to get in the car for the people that use them for getting actual work done instead of going to Lowe’s.

Powershift posted:like 8 years ago in this thread there was a discussion about the keypad on ford vehicles being obsolete It's still hilarious that they put two numbers per button. Why? Using the second numbers in the code doesn't change the fact that it's the same buttons.

Firefox itself is sadly getting close to obsolete and failed technology. Its market share has gone from its 2012 high of almost 25% to something like 3% now, and they've been laying off staff like crazy. IIRC the only thing keeping them afloat is a search partnership with Google, who is probably only doing that to keep at least one Chromium competitor alive as antitrust insurance. As an open source project it will never "die" but its heyday is firmly in the past.

It would help if they stopped redesigning the UI and add-on backend every ~18 months, stopped removing useful features for fear of confusing idiot grandmas who make up <1% of their userbase, and if they had a development plan that wasn't a single sheet of paper with "COPY CHROME!" scrawled on it in crayon.

For all of that, it is still the best browser, by far.

I use it firmly as my 'nothing is ever logged in' broswer and for my VPNs plugin so I don't have a system-wide PVN that conflicts with my normal playing games or plex traffic.

None of the browsers comply with anything. A fun issue at work, maangement are bitching about a certain vendors requirement to have 2FA on logins to their support backend. Literally having 'big important meetings' this week trying to get our site a different way. This is the same site that suffered from a cryptolocker style attack not a month ago.

FTP chat reminds me of the day in high school we used Netware to send a message to this dude Jack. When "HELLO JACK THIS IS SATAN" appeared at the bottom of the screen he squeaked "OH NO, A VIRUS" and ran from the room.

I'm pretty sure I have a spindle of DVD-Rs in a box in the garage that I bought in 2006 when I worked at Circuit City. I think it's in the box where I have my extra edition copy of the Chicago Tribune from 9/11.

I keep mine in a cabinet with the CD-Rs, CD-RWs, floppies, cd caddies, and empty cases for when I want to burn something to give to someone. I can't remember the last time I did that.

I found it vaguely amusing that FTP was portrayed here as an evil hacker's playground, not like good old trustworthy HTTP where nothing bad could originate.

I'm fine with Chrome itself as an application but I hate the idea that I'm "paying" Google for it with literally all my data. I also hate that the plugin/extension system is designed in such a way that you just have to trust the add-on makers with your history and cookies too, but I think Firefox is mostly the same way in that regard.

Guy's got a Lenovo Thinkstation with 16gigs of RAM, a 1TB SSD and an i7. I'm like dude wtf are you doing running 4 instances of Blender or something? Turns out he just had an UNGODLY number of Chrome instances open. I shut them all down, reset and it was snappy as gently caress. How does, how do you even get so far gone??

Sometimes you click a link for something, and then you get distracted needing to look at another tab, and then you forget about the first one. Rinse and repeat. Once a month I'll go through and close all the reddit tabs I've left open.
