If you want to mug a software engineer, ask them if a static code analysis tool should consider `if time.time() > 0:` to be considered the same as `if True:`

Then, while they're writing a 40,000 word blog post on the topic, hit them on the head and take their wallet.

Re last: I thought I was done with shitty machine-learning #AltText but nope.

I'm pretty sure this is in relation to #Airpods actually, not dental floss but there we go.

Today, JAWS version 2025 has been released.
All our products are compatible with JAWS 2025, even J-Say, the update for which has just been released.
So targets have been met and in some cases exceeded.

Within the next few days, we will be contacting people who have a J-Say SMA and providing them with their upgrades.
However, the vast majority of people who have J-Say have acquired it through a Distributor. So in most cases, it is the Distributor who would let you know that the upgrade is available.

If you think you do have a current SMA, your best course of action is to send to us your JAWS serial number so it can be checked. We may then be able to provide it to you faster.

Quickly hitting peak frustration with Thunderbird's accessibility issues. Are there any other good accessible local or web-based email clients?

Don't suggest Gmail, I don't trust Google not to torch my account and nuke my data because some AI somewhere had a bad day.

Also note that I've used Thunderbird for over a decade, I've done all the usual config changes but the updates continue to break accessibility in new and innovative ways. It's not me, it's them, and I can't just not read some messages anymore because Thunderbird can't do accessibility testing right.

The wait is over! Our first stable release of Thunderbird for Android is out NOW! Find out what's new, where to get support, and how to download it in our release announcement.

And to everyone who contributed via beta testing, giving us feedback on K-9 Mail, localizing, thank you. :) Your community team work has made the dream work.

How large share of the code was written after a certain date, over time.

Interesting. When I search for “Norton Password Manager” on Chrome Web Store, it first lists five completely unrelated extensions, and only the last search result is the actual Norton Password Manager. Somebody told me that website is run by a company specializing in search, so this shouldn’t be due to incompetence, right? What is it then?

Scotch 3M Magnetic Tape Viewer

These are rare beasts, a useful tool for Audio Archiving. It rests on the Tape, showing the Magnetic Pattern

Ensures you get the right Head Configuration first time

Here’s - Quarter Track, Half Track & 8 Track

Before anyone asks, no, it doesn’t work on Helical Video as the Tracks are too fine. But it does show Edge Track Audio & Sync Pulse
