Excellent Site!

What are the lines that cross Scotland ? At time of writing they are red where as other lines further south are green.

I know of some on shore wind up near the Rochdale area too. Does it mean they are offline if they just appear as black dots on the map?

I can only think the most direct usage for this info is to feed the performance screen/tab that lives in settings showing CPU and memory usage

But some of the info its reading seems a little bit too much

cough 'telemetry' cough

ffs this is stupid. backspace has always been "back" in browsers and it really vexes me when some versions of firefox on some linux distro's do this. two hands have to be used to action this because the right alt key is either not mapped ( on some os'es ) or is alt-gr. backspace works well when moving quickly too - one finger from home row and bam.

Rather then this be the fix they should probably look at the bug thats causing the user to go back when the form element is focused.

Whats next ? take away space bar for moving through the page ?

A about:config thing needs to be present for this to allow the user to switch between what they want. Sure extentions are possible to fix this too but i dont really want a 3rd party extention to re-enable whats a tried and tested keyboard shortcut. Additionally what happens if that dev's account gets hacked and the extention modded for malace ? Or if the dev pulls the thing in a way similar to the node.js module issue a month or so ago.

This part is worrying though:

We have UseCounters showing that 0.04% of page views navigate back via the backspace button and 0.005% of page views are after a form interaction.

Where is that data being gathered from and how?

Additionally what is classed as a form interaction ?

We have a shared calendar in the business with all this stuff on and there's also a reminder that crops up in the order system (Mainly because monies are due to change hands again rather than the ssl is about to go pop)

"OK Google, set a reminder 1 year from now to...."

Nice write up. But a bit over kill for something that you can solve with a calendar item. ...Doesn't actually have to be on google though ;)

there is a linux package called readpst that, as its names suggests, read's the contents of the PST and can output into mailbox or maildir formats. Thunderbird seems to be happy with its default output

Edit: corrected a typo

Possibly yes, i would need to look in to it more. however i have not looked in to the camera aspect of the device so i can not agree with the "it has the best camera" part of the statement.
