chrome dropped support for all NPAPI plugins, and if you need a reason more than security the n stands for netscape

i woke up and browsed all my websites that use wall to wall java embeds telling me the bad news :negative:


so Unity web player is gone too?

i just tried and it doesn't work, you can reenable npapi under chrome://flags for now until september when chrome 45 takes it out all together

it's not even just java, it's all NPAPI plugins, which includes things like silverlight, unity web player, adobe reader, adobe flash player, shockwave player, and every other plugin ported from netscape. you idiots would probably be complaining if microsoft got rid of activex, even if they told you they were doing it a year in advance

flash is actually PPAPI in chrome so it will be around for a while

it's a good router

from last year even, but wireless hasn't improved much for a single client since 802.11ac

presumably the google router should handle more simultaneous users with all its extra radios and antennas but they probably hosed that up too

i don't understand steve jobs approach to computer games. games were pretty integral to the popularity of the apple ii and a big reason kids got into computing and programming. but the macintosh abandoned games and the developers and was even actively hostile towards some of them (id). it was very easy for microsoft to swoop in and take that segment.

games are super popular on iOS too so i don't get way jobs hated games so much on his beloved mac.

video games and video card drivers are the buggiest, lowest quality software available and will not taint his perfect computers

it's like everyone at google hasn't sent or received an sms in years

it's kind of funny that seamless messaging is really just graceful protocol downgrading for legacy phones

so in at least one sense apple has the best backwards compatibility

100/10 unlimited for 65 a month on rogers on 2 year contract

it was too good to pass up, but the pricing is predatory because 3rd parties cannot make a profit at the same price
the billing rates for 3rd party isps are being changed right now and in a couple months should be the same but it will be too late because everyone is locked into rogers and 3rd parties will suffer

the joke is that this is actually worse. google has so few women in higher paying technical roles that it massively skews their their pay balance.

damore's whole thesis was that this is cool and good and totally normal, and google just confirmed that that's their view as well.

its bad but the gender ratio just matches the gender ratio of comp sci graduates

the real problem is women not enrolling in computer poo poo, probably because they get scared away by goons in high school
