From what I've seen coming out of Redmond recently, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that the "Microslop" filter broke with some random update as opposed to being intentionally disabled.

For all we know, that's just a holodeck simulation of Ten Forward.

I've found most websites that look like ass on a 24" 1920x1200 screen (or really any desktop monitor) is because they are designed for a 5-6" cell phone screen.

I'm assuming that must be over in Europe because here in the USA electric kettles are relatively rare. And if this is the UK, I'm surprised the leading cause of fires isn't all those ring circuits they like over there.

Presumably they would be clinically dead at the end of the ride, that is they would have stopped breathing and their heart would have stopped beating. It may still be possible to revive someone with prompt medical attention, but for the job to be finished all you'd have to do at that point is nothing.

Whatever makes sense.

Does your friend have one of those SEO recipe sites that has paragraphs of text you have to scroll past just to get to the damn recipe?

From what I can tell, the search engines now heavily favor recently updated and new content and push old content way down in the results or as it seems more recently will quite often not even show it at all.

Well, now we have Safari holding things back, being it's the only browser engine on iOS (other iOS browsers are just Safari reskins). It's the buggiest and most outdated of the major browsers, but you can't ignore it because the iDevice market is too big. It's pretty much the new IE6.

just press the Windows/Command key and type what I need

Which on Windows 11 may or may not actually return anything remotely close to what you want.

Worked great on Windows Vista/7.

I'm also in the club of having a couple of Manjaro installs that now date back a few years to when it was still cool.

Honestly as a distro it works pretty well and my complaints are few. If I had to reinstall I'd take a closer look at CachyOS, EndeavourOS, or even just Arch, but I can't really be bothered to replace something that's working just fine so I'll stick with it for now.

I haven't had a Windows install completely brick itself, but I have seen Windows go into a try to update->update fails->rollback->updates are available->tries to update again... etc. infinite loop.

It's been a while since I've had a Linux system brick that wasn't me doing something stupid, though I've gotten a lot better at handling the occasional minor hiccup.
