OS/2 comes to mind. Version 1.x was already much more sophisticated than MS-DOS.

TBH I never had that problem on the 9360 (in over 2 years) - YMMV. Knock on wood though as I had to replace the battery and the AC adapter died.

Yep, you need a new battery. Getting one from Dell is harder than actually replacing it.

USB-C as a power connector work great when the proprietary power supply die as you are waiting to get a replacement battery. (true story) (I have a 9360 model, which doesn't like the batteries for the 9350)

Why would that be on the list? Isn't there already a solution? It doesn't need to be GPL licensed for getting FSF recognition - a non copyleft but Libre license is fine.

Does that include open source code for ALL the hardware?

For starter you could restrict the autoplay the next video only if it is the same element.

But then Chrome and Youtube come from the same company. Maybe they should coordinate.

There is a disable autoplay in Firefox as a hidden pref. Enabling it break YouTube (offender number 1) and Vimeo.

Vimeo's take is that it is a bug in the browser hence it should be fixed. But then Vimeo are the same that told use to use Safari on Linux because Firefox "didn't support HTML5" (it did, just not encumbered H264 codec, but when you are lying, do the extra mile).

This is why Firefox download the CISCO binaries at startup... Can't have nice things.

My approach is not to throw away. The changes are incremental and definitely the spirit of the original code is here.

Nope.

ClarisWord never existed — ClarisWorks was the product. Claris had MacWrite II for a time because they were the software spin-off from Apple, and that was their stand alone word processor offering, not much better than Claris Works, which was one application unlike MS-Office.

128KB binary. All written in assembly.

I was in that group. There is so much that can be done just like that.

And Abi as a company was long gone by that time.

I think the OP meant "on Windows".
