    unbanning proton mail?

    FYI, Proton Mail supports Gmail connections, so you could set up a dummy Google account for such cases and still use your normal e-mail address: https://proton.me/blog/proton-mail-connect-gmail

    Suggestion Process images after upload

    I could've sworn geographical data was scrubbed on here. Let me test this with an image I tagged myself: EDIT: Huh, indeed. The location stayed even after redownloading.

    Welcome to tempStyle 3.3 / Xenforo 2.3 ! report your feedback, errors & bugs etc.

    I have recently switched to Firefox and noticed a bug which wasn't present on Chrome: When clicking a notification and visiting the page it points to, the number on the bell doesn't update on the destination page until I click it again or go to a different page.

    Truth be told, that has saved a few situations when I was helping people who somehow locked themselves out of their BitLocker drives before – although, if Microsoft didn't have that on by default for people whom don't need it or know what it is, it would be simpler still.

    Several times over the past few months, I've had to stop different people's computers from syncing everything to OneDrive and download their files again, because they didn't like it. Users not reading what they click ‘Yes’ on and Microsoft's forced marketing really is the perfect combo…

    This board needs a "Vibe-coded" prefix

    Generally speaking, AI disclosure isn't about telling people in detail how a project is coded under the hood. It's more like saying ‘Hey, I probably don't understand how exactly this works, code quality is likely poor, and I don't plan on maintaining it well – or at all. It seems to work, but...

    This board needs a "Vibe-coded" prefix

    Would people use it, though? Also, a more general ‘AI-assisted’ prefix would be preferable IMO, so that it covers more than just coding.

    I've never used macOS for long in one sitting, but today, I had to rename a bunch of files on my brother's MacBook, and after getting tired of the right click -> Rename cycle, I tried pressing F2…which apparently behaves here as End, highlighting the last file in the directory, despite this not...

    Proactive double-post warning

    This is an idea I stole from the osu! forums. Posts get auto-merged with an unsightly note if someone double-posts within a short time span – this is by design and I approve of it, though I am sad to see that, with the latest site redesign some time ago, this note has lost its ‘Please don't...

    Welcome to tempStyle 3.3 / Xenforo 2.3 ! report your feedback, errors & bugs etc.

    I've noticed that directly uploaded videos never show thumbnails which makes me less likely to play them. While fiddling with the HTML code of a page, I found out why: It seems that the preload tag is set to none, which prevents any data to load from the video. While I can understand this may...

    Hardware Dashcam recommendations?

    What kind of dashcams do you use? Do you have any recommendations? TL;DR: These are the main aspects I'm looking for: Main things: Decent picture quality in day and night conditions. As long as I can read the plate of a person who ran into me, it should be fine. Front and rear camera...

    Welcome to tempStyle 3.3 / Xenforo 2.3 ! report your feedback, errors & bugs etc.

    Merged posts still send multiple notifications, which kind of defeats half their point, IMO. Also, I honestly liked the gentle reminder the previous version of this string had (‘Posts merged. Please don't double post!’). Would it be possible to bring it back?

    I finally had the opportunity to try and fix this. Patch rollback doesn't work. Restore points haven't been made. Online reinstall doesn't work. Offline reinstall doesn't work. Everything errors out with no reference code nor logs. Wonderful. It is a company laptop.

    I prepared a laptop at work yesterday so that it can carry out an important task. Today at T-minus 10 minutes, I found it boot-looping, because it updated Windows without my consent, and somehow borked itself to a point where its automatic self-repair wasn't working. Thanks, Microsoft!
