As for posts per page, this has been configurable on almost all board software I've ever used, this being a noticeable exception.

Can't we?

I clicked "Edit profile" up top, and I see options for "Threads per page" and "Posts per page".

Maybe the SD2SNES Pro will bypass most of the SNES hardware, run Higan on the FPGA and only use the SNES hardware for the video & audio output connectors? /sarcasm
That won't work. Can't blit a full frame of video into VRAM in 1/60 of a second. Other than that it is a good idea that enables a lot of possibilities, like a Genesis core or a GBA core.

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/mozilla-halts-firefox-65-rollout-due-to-insecure-certificate-errors/

There are reports that Mozilla has withdrawn Firefox 65.0 because the current release is Causing Certificate Errors for people who use certain antimalware packages like Avast, AVG, and Kaspersky. The relevant security companies are working with Mozilla to release updates that will resolve this issue.


"Mozilla halts Firefox 65 rollout because users are upset that Firefox tells them when they are the subject of a man-in-the-middle attack"

Or alternative:

"Mozilla halts Firefox 65 rollout because it completely ignores the system certificate store and this unsurprisingly causes issues."



From the article: "By default, Firefox 65 will use only use the certificates in their built in browser certificate store. It is possible, though, to enable the ability to also use the antivirus engine's certificate that are created in the Windows certificate store to validate other web sites certificates."

I went into sticker shock before I remembered those prices are in australian dollars.


Can't attest personally to any of those phones. Or really, any relative of them except the lower-end Samsung. Used to have a Samsung J7, felt it was overpriced but functional.


Also, didn't they get the memo? The JB brand is retired, it is Jistuce HiFi nowadays!

> Used to have a Samsung J7, felt it was overpriced but functional.

I've heard bad things about Samsung loading their phones with weird Samsung-specific extras, trying to "value add" but mostly making a mess. Did that happen to your phone, or not enough to notice/worry about?
Not enough to bother me.
Just that for the price, everyone else had a sturdier chassis and usually a gyroscope.
Samsung seems to be bad about holding a few cheap features off their cheaper phones to try and force people to pay extra for an S-series.

The J7 DID have a removable back for battery access, though. Don't know if the J8 does, that is an increasingly rare feature.

It even got an update for Android 8 (Oreo) that removed all ZTE-specific addons.
Even the chinese spyware?

Updates can't remove what's in all phone hardware anyway...
I meant the adups software, that allegedly was never supposed to ship to the US anyways.

I wasn't just being catty, ZTE had a documented spyware problem for a while.

- Sometimes "Back" is an arrow at the top-left of the screen, sometimes "Back" is a triangle button at the bottom. Is there some nuanced difference I don't understand, or is that just Android weirdness?

So... in ye olden times, phones had actual buttons under the screen for back and home and task-switcher. Then The Googles, in their infinite wisdom, dcecided that was dumb and we should have a status bar on the bottom of the screen with the buttons, eating screen space.
And then they realized "Oh, an app developer can include their own navigation buttons, and if they do, we can hide the stupid button bar".

So that's where we are now. Some applications include their own back button, some rely on Android presenting a button, and some just fuck you over with inscrutably bad interface choices.


Some devices still manage to snake buttons in under the screen in defiance of Google, and those never have the status bar with the triangle and the square and the whatever.
My Motorola G5 ETC is like that. There aren't any actual buttons, but the fingerprint reader also works as a home button when tapped, a back button when you slide across it to the left, and a task switcher button when you slide across it to the right. It is cute, and works most of the time(though I hit home when trying to hit back more than I care to admit)



- The middle button is "home screen" on a short press and "Open Browser" on a long press, the square button is "switch apps" on a short press and "split screen" on a long press; am I missing any other cool tricks?
Almost certainly. Android is rather bad about hiding things in inscrutable places because simplicity of interface is more important than usability of interface.
Manufacturer-specific customizations aren't any better, though that is usually a case of neglect rather than an active attempt to conceal functionality.

- I previously only really used my phone for web-browsing, shopping lists, reading e-books, and listening to music. I've installed Firefox, Simple Notes, Book Reader, and Odyssey to do these tasks, and they seem to meet my needs. Are there any alternatives I should know about?

Odyssey actually looks pretty cool.

I'm a big fan of the Simple series of tools, incidentally.


- Are there any cool apps in general I should know about?

Almost certainly.

because it's a full-screen SDL app it hides the task-switching soft button, and the only way to switch to another app is to completely shut down RetroArch.

You should be able to swipe up from the bottom of the screen (the physical bottom, as though you were in portrait) to make it reappear.

And seconding BearOso's suggestion of Nova Launcher. It is far and away the best launcher for Android.
I still miss hard buttons. Especially egregious omission on my phone, where there's plenty of space to the sides of the fingerprint sensor for them.

Oh, the irony, just imagine: this gem coming from the mouth of one of those hipster JavaScript Generation douchebags... who shits Electron junk from a Mac.

Name how many Macs currently on sale do allow its RAM to be expanded by the user AFTER purchase date, without involving a reflow oven.

So, in this case, "buy more RAM" translates nicely into "get another $5000 computer".
