we tell our vendors to go suck a gently caress and if they don't want to support it then they should have wrote it right in the first place, and since they still want our money they tend to go along with it. I recommend doing the same.

I recommend doing the same. this is surprisingly difficult when the vendor is some spergtastic GmbH that happens to be the only one in the world that writes software for your particular $100K CnC machine and this specific application. you can tell them to go suck a gently caress, but if production goes down because you're trying to be proper and correct about user permissions, well, they aren't going to get the blame

Oh hey neat Microsoft's already pushed the advance version of the Maps app to standard channel Windows 10. Kinda hard to set a default location when that hook isn't in the system yet, don't you think.

The solution, according to the notification, is to use Microsoft Edge. bets on: - whether this shows up on ltsb, which doesn't have edge - how many hundreds of millions of euros the eu will nail them for this time

chome is definitely inefficient as hell and will murder your cpu. idk about failfox but given that they cant deal with tabs in javascript its probably the same.

i got something like that two weeks ago watching sgdq threw it on edge so i could just kill the process every time it froze due to twitch's lovely plugin and after a few hours of it miraculously working windows 10 popped up a message about how i needed to close firefox because it was taking up too much memory popped open the task manager, edge was using over 5 gigs of memory and firefox was just over 256 megs after that i just switched to livestreamer

Prosthetic_Mind posted:i got something like that two weeks ago watching sgdq firefox can't even use much more than 2 gigs of memory because it is a 32-bit process. which is kind of a blessing, because it absolutely would. (I don't know why it goes over 2 gigs in the first place, but when it starts to do weird things like render most of the screen black, or hang, the "private bytes" in process explorer is always between 2 and 3 gigs) i'm using the beta version because it has multiprocess support and it does stay up for a lot longer because the tabs run in "plugin-container.exe", but it is inevitable that at some point it will consume over 2 gigs and crash. firefox just does not deallocate memory ever.

wtf do you weirdos do with your browsers that firefox is constantly running out of memory and exploding? i use it exclusively with a bazillion extensions and have never had that problem, even on occasions where ive left it open for a few days. are you all those grey forum auteurs who have to keep every single link you encounter open in a tab in case you ever want to come back to it ever because bookmarks somehow just arnet the right solution to saving a internet web site to come back to it later? *up next on hoarders: buried alive*  : my dad wont stop, hell never stop! the house is so hot, his comptuer is so hot. every time i go over there, hes just looking at his tabs, stroking them, giving them names : i have to read them all, if i do ill finally know how to keep the cia out of my litterboxes*host looks on smugly*: arent you worried about the sanitation in the house? : how can i have time for that? my dads rectum has permanently fused with his chair because he looked at his tabs for so long. his name his james, just remember that: *middle clicks on something**barely musical tonal noises played dramatically as screen turns to grayscale, then inverted, then fades to black* *after the break: a man who just cant stop storing his feces..... in socks*

hey shaggs, have the new edge builds added the amazing innovation of smooth scrolling yet? on that note, why is there a browser in tyool 2016 that jumps around like an epileptic just because i'm using a scroll wheel?

Instead I'm using Firefox which will poo poo itself after I open a few dozen links in new tabs, then close them, many many times. Because Firefox does not deallocate memory. I open links, read them, then close the tabs. I do not hoard them anymore. And the reason I use firefox is because ive seen what ms does when it gets browser dominance and because google is a creepy advertising company with adhd w/r/t supporting features.

it scrolls properly with a touchpad, but with a scroll wheel it jumps 3 lines at a time, there is no setting to change this behaviour anywhere in edge and it's the only browser that does this edit: actually ie does it too, but only in windows 10
