Combined with the factoid it features under "how is this calculated":

    However, most native speakers have an active vocabulary between 15,000 and 35,000 words.

We must be geniuses, lol.

Getting "Obfuscate" as #99 and "Quixotic" as #100 made me feel exorbitantly smart.

If it's the same as on Win10 it's a UWP App that needs a ton of dependencies like .net, WinUI2/XAML.

The appx is: Approximate size 21.8 MB according to https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfhvn5

Win7 calc.exe had 758KB for i686 and 897KB for amd64.

I really like Betterbird. It's basically ESR Thunderbird + a few fixes.

If you want mail to just work and updates going smoothly it's the solution.

Probably a cache thing. Win11 precaches a lot of stuff if you hover over it or have excess RAM. It's not as smart as SuperFetch and ReadyBoost (with an HDD) was but it's still doing similar things.

Microsoft has AppLocker (since Win7, I think). If you give it a curated whitelist it's actually quite alright and manages well via GPO. (until you manage to lock yourself out ;) Much less overhead than any 3rd party tool that hooks the kernel.

Connect Keyboard, Press PgDn.

Or what I actually use for ssh on the road: https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard

Google kicked it from their store because it still supports older Androids but it still works just fine on the latest versions. It's on F-Droid.

I still prefer my Magic 8 Ball, it's less exhausting. But this is pretty cool.

Agreed, I don't want to miss my 24" 16:10 displays. They are just standard IPS though but enough for work.

Still on X11. OBS just works.

Also still on X11 because of xorgxrdp and X11 forwarding.

It would be cool to see this test with a CRT connected to a VGA port (adapters make it slower) and a PS/2 input device.

Yeah, not testing X11 was a weird choice.

It's likely his monitor. Would be interesting to see CRT results.

Interesting methodology:

    "To investigate, I used a small Teensy microcontroller to measure click-to-photon latency. It acts as a USB HID mouse and is paired with a light sensor pressed against the screen. I flashed it with an existing Open Source LDAT sketch, with slight modifications. The resulting setup can log hundreds of samples to a CSV file, unattended."

I agree, it should work. It just doesn't. I haven't had the time yet to figure out why it doesn't because everything is fine on X11.

Glad to hear, and neat site. Cool to see new Ruby on Rails sites. Thought I was the only one still loving it. ;)

IP address has no effect on the User Agent block though...

I just noticed the same thing.

UA being blocked for example:

  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:140.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/140.0

Did mess with it some more:

Allowed:

    Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; zh-tw) Presto/2.7.62 Version/11.01
    Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1; U; cs) Presto/2.7.62 Version/11.01

406:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0 Opera/12.0
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 14; rv:140.0) Gecko/20110101 Firefox/140.0

Maybe just remove it?

Getting

    406 browser not supported

for ESR Firefox 140.

If I set my UA to "FUCKIT" I can use the site perfectly fine. Why is there a User Agent Filter that disables the whole website? This should be maybe a warning, not a complete block.

They will just rediscover Bluetooth. Kids have always passed around stuff they weren't supposed to have.
