Could probably have measured its resistance, then put a plain resistor in its place.

udm=web now. Also, your all(?) examples get the %s mangled by URL format correction, so should be:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%25s&udm=web

but change the %25s to %s.

And you can use its image creation tool to write a Windows installer .iso to a thumbdrive, for others who absolutely have to have it!

Fucked if I can work out why downloading the Windows .iso in Linux and writing it to USB has not once resulted in a bootable medium for me, despite literally every non-MS .iso working perfectly with the same tools.

I’m currently using this, and find it very helpful. They’re available as podcasts. Make sure you’re playing it on something that you can easily and frequently pause & restart, and jump back a few seconds. AntennaPod is great.

Rule 3 of that community is ‘no AI’.

Huh? When the Moon’s overhead, you can look at it and rotate yourself to any direction to change the apparent orientation.

Using a widely-available phone with good performance, decent quality, and long term security support, meant that more people could access it. I still can’t buy a Fairphone without going through an overseas middleman, then hoping I have no warranty issues, because they don’t sell to Australia. If something goes wrong with my Pixel, the shop I bought it from is minutes away.

My favourite recipe. (context is outbreak of covid in Australia.)

I made the mistake of creating a Windows VM and believing their minimum required disk space figure of 64GB. It won’t upgrade. Asks to attach an external USB drive because it lacks enough space. It hasn’t anything added to it, only some bloatware removed. Attempting to upgrade takes hours, fails (despite attaching the extra storage), then restarts the entire download and install process over again. I can only assume it’s incapable of caching and verifying downloaded content. There’s no offline installer option, like we used to have with service packs. The whole thing is slow as molasses yet it doesn’t max out the 8(!) CPUs allocated to it. The host has plenty of spare capacity. It’s a steaming pile of shit.

Linux guests run fine.

That and Asterix.

I’ll be sure to tell my employer that my services are no longer need because some jerk on Lemmy thinks that File.readAsArrayBuffer() and SubtleCrypto.encrypt() packaged up in an extension that needs no special permissions, no companion app, and is limited to activating on a single named website, is like totally gonna scan my whole hard drive, man, what a drag.

You really are a dunce.

So you don’t understand that, either? When your only argument is insult, that’s ad hominem. You never addressed any of the valid criticism of your fear mongering, other than to repeat the same misinformation.

You’re calling me wrong because you think I’m “full of it” without being able point to anything that’s factually incorrect about what I’ve said.

Which don’t exist unless you install them, too, which OP’s extension wouldn’t need. You’re chronically unable to focus on the context, aren’t you?

Sticking with the ad hominem, eh? Not the brightest choice.

You can call someone “full of it” and put as many cute little emojis as you like, but if you can’t articulate a coherent argument about what you think they’ve said is factually incorrect, you may not be the brilliant bullshit detector you think you are. And repeating the insult with nothing of substance to back up the assertion just reduces your argument to ad hominem.

Still going. I never saw the very first edit of your content, but the bullshit is still there:

They can snoop / manipulate across tabs or even scan the local drive and execute system commands… when given the access.

Extensions cannot scan local drives, other programs that one installs in addition can. like I already explained, OP wouldn’t need a companion program, so you’re incapable of admitting (or maybe understanding?) that you’re spreading baseless FUD about OP’s proposed idea.

> Says they wrote an extension 3 years ago but doesn’t seem to know about decade-old isolation.
> Tries to tell everyone that extensions like OP’s can run system commands, despite their use case not having any need to do so.
> Accuses others of being full of it.

Jog on, mate.

If you think installing a downloaded program alongside your browser is a “💩 semantic distinction” from a bit of script running inside your browsers sandboxing, then it’s clear you either don’t know what you’re talking about, or you’d rather continue to to spread FUD than concede on basic facts.
