Peter Gordon 🇺🇦Switch to Firefox.
Edit: Google have now ditched WEI, but this still shows why it's important to have competition in the browser space.
jfml - Jonas Laugs@Lumpbucket Never understood why you would use chromium-based browsers aside for edge-cases where videocalling doesn't work well in Firefox. Oher than that, what's the problem with using FF?
@jfml beats me. I never switched to chrome in the first place.
ResunaEdge cases where some dumb multinational is using some awful middleware and you have to re-login literally every page load because it's doing some obscure session management hack that only works in Chrome.
I'M LOOKING AT YOU HP.
Edit: AND LENOVO.
Antonio Páez 🇲🇽🇨🇦I stopped using HP and Lenovo years ago. Their products break, they fail to honor the warranty, they waste your time, and they blame you for all of it. Crap companies with crap products.
@paezha @Lumpbucket @jfml Last time I needed Lenovo support they fixed my touch screen with half the turnaround they predicted.
That’s reassuring

I've still got a functioning Lenovo laptop from 25 years ago. :D
It still works. :D
When Lenovo was a brand run by a division of IBM, and, when they did all of their manufacturing in-house, they were great.
Since they out-sourced the manufacturing, and sold the brand, the reliability has fallen.
@BillySmith @paezha @Lumpbucket @jfml You mean you have a functioning IBM ThinkPad from 25 years ago, because IBM didn't sell their PC business to Lenovo until 2005.
I have one from 2007 from before they had a chance to screw it up too much.
@resuna @paezha @Lumpbucket @jfml
Yes, that's the bunny. :D
Very chunky machines. :D
I thought that the sale took place way before then.
I do know that they were out-sourcing the manufacturing before that sale, as it was a way of reducing costs when the Thinkpad line was still wholly-owned by IBM.
@BillySmith @paezha @Lumpbucket @jfml They outsourced some Thinkpad lines to Acer from 1998 to 2002. I don’t think they did anything with Lenovo before 2005.
