TekSavvy is one of the only major wholesale-based ISPs left. I was a happy customer for years but they are wholly dependent on the big providers for the pipes which meant that I had to go with one of the big names to improve my network speeds. If the CRTC forced proper access I would have never left.

On an Intel Mac Mini I've got 4.0 Beta 2 installed the Check Updates doesn't detect anything and on the website there is only an Apple-based Mac option listed. Did they drop Intel support or is that coming later? Or does it matter and it is really a universal package with a poor name choice (and failed update check)?

A fun little project I've been toying with for the last few months. Let Jira and Philips Hue visually notify you when a ticket is created or updated.

Putting aside the linked content I'd just like to marvel at the speed of the site - near plain text, minimal markup, basic JS. And even a dead link to a guestbook in the source.

A few modern enhancements would be a nice addition to fix the overly wide width and font selection but they certainly aren't required.

Ah, 1999. A simpler web. Transporting the build of those simpler times to the world of today would deliver instant gratification.

Is this really necessary? "xxx is a George W. Bush appointee. xxx also a Bush appointee, and Barack Obama appointee xxx joined xxx opinion."

Perhaps when discussing items of moral importance and life or death judgments it may be of historical/cultural reference but a copyright conflict seems rather out of bounds for such detail.

I was about to say the same thing... It is really completely amazing how wide the gap is between standard, cheap ink jet and cheap Brother laser. Seriously do yourself a favour and just switch. Your sanity will thank you.

I absolutely hate how YouTube music doesn't understand that I am using it for music... not music videos.

"Hey Google, play my music" on a Nest Hub in the kitchen so I can listen to something while cooking used to play music - now it often (but not always) insists on running whatever crazy video it found for my tunes.

I simply don't watch music videos. I have no interest in them. I don't like that they joined together my music and misc YouTube clicks together.

I'm now looking for an alternative. I just want what I had before. Listen to music and skip the videos so I can cook in peace.

I don't really like paying extra on a streaming service I'm already paying for. However, I'll be really, really upset if this is a easy-click-to-purchase system that my kids can select. I have profiles for the kids set up but who knows if that'll save me.

I have no interest in paying for this and certainly don't want to deal with this being splashed all over just baiting me (or the young ones) to click.
