Not sure about DOS, but Windows 10 will happily run 16-bit Windows software. You have to use the 32-bit version of Windows though - the 64-bit version dropped support.

I did know this already, but it’s easily forgotten as it isn’t common to need it. I find banking sites are the main place this is useful, as they ask for all sorts of extra information.

In which case I suggest you file a GDPR violation against all web browsers, as by default they will be allowing tracking and sending data to advertisers.

But it’s OK to send more - and probably PII - tracking data directly to the website without consent?

How does this violate the GDPR? It increases privacy and stops advertisers tracking everything you do. This seems to be a good thing.

Advertisers have always been interested in where their ads are seen and whether they convert to purchases. A common example is vouchers, which will tell the advertiser exactly this (10p off, customer redeems, store returns to advertiser, advertiser knows where you got the voucher from/where you saw the advert, where you bought the product - exactly what Firefox is trying to tell them)

Shame there isn’t an ActivityPub/Fediverse option…

I was going to mention this! I don’t think it meets the criteria completely, but it is quite Souls-like in many aspects.

No, it’s a cross platform standard. You can even run a server on Linux interfacing with SANE to convert older scanners.

I looked up the non-Apple name and it’s eSCL. That’s a lot easier to search for.

Yes, you can now use AirScan (also called something else I don’t recall currently) for “driverless” scanning.

dump1090 comes with a webpage showing which aircraft it is currently tracking, although I suspect the maps don’t run offline.

There’s https://fedi-search.com/ and https://www.search-lemmy.com/ as well. I’m not sure if that latter one is still active though, it certainly appears to be down at the moment.

I bow to your superior knowledge. It definitely doesn’t wear out SD cards as quickly though, but that might be due to other factors not wear levelling.

What I missed mentioning is it does wear-levelling so as its name suggests it is “flash friendly” and stops SD cards wearing out so quickly.

I use f2fs on my Raspberry Pis, it’s designed for flash storage and appears to have much better performance than ext4 on the same device. I’m not sure whether it’s suitable for SSDs, or just SD cards and USB (these devices are optimised for FAT and f2fs utilises that optimisation). When I tried to use f2fs on a proper laptop it was too early and the distro didn’t support booting from it. I assume that has changed now.

As for the others, I usually stick with ext4 as I’ve never seen a compelling reason not to.

I use File Manager + https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alphainventor.filemanager

Those shortcuts invoke clipshare. It looks like there’s also a sync mode so you can use normal copy/paste and it will still sync.

It was invite only, not open registration, so not surprising they didn’t have many users. Although Bluesky is the same and that seems to have loads. Hmm.

I had an account but literally used it for five seconds and then largely forgot about it.

Their logos are very similar. How many different ways can you stylise an “X” though?

Quite possibly, but even on a laptop touchpad it seems wrong.

It makes no sense to me. A lot of Windows drivers seem to default to it now, so scrolling down on the wheel scrolls up on the screen. I always change it back to the old method, as this way is backwards to be.
