Final post. Account will be migrating to @sunn.

This account will not be deleted, it will remain for historical purposes (and also in case I want to migrate back to my old name etc)

Third Party Cookies Must Be Removed

Third-party (AKA cross-site) cookies are harmful to the web, and must be removed from the web platform. This finding explains why they must be removed, and examines the challenges in removing them. We highlight some use cases that depend on third-party cookies and offer some examples of designed-for-purpose technologies that can replace them. Specification authors are expected to ensure they do not undermine the benefits of removing third-party cookies when proposing new web platform technologies.

Did Windows NT 4 procedurally draw the Start menu watermark?

Last week, Dave Plummer made a tweet and video claiming NT 4’s Start menu drew its logo procedurally, using Windows’s GDI graphics library. But I've been unable to find proof this ever happened.

(I asked him for comment on the other website, curious what he can add about this.)

My investigation: https://adamdemasi.com/2024/07/24/windows-nt-4-start-menu-watermark.html

Making sense of the Windows NT 4.0 Start menu banner claims

Who knew a Windows brand banner could be so controversial?

decades later, microsoft still hasn't change the verbiage for this dialog box.

kinda funny to think about it, seeing this error appear on windows 11, trying to find where the hell is "Add/Remove Programs" in control panel, only to realize that existed on older versions of windows and not on windows 11.

great job microsoft! trying to explain how to fix a problem that can't be fixed!
