Frequently I want to pause a video. So I click on the screen. Very frequently it doesn’t pause… but the screen maximizes. WTH? I recently switched to Brave. But this isn’t a Brave problem because it’s been happening for a while. Clicking in that big red area below is supposed to pause. Only that small …

Looking to replace Firefox
Firefox has been my default browser for years. But I’m looking to replace it. Very slow startup… sometimes… often. I just changed my default to Brave. I also thought about Vivaldi, but will have to pass as of now because of Tabs size. The only way to know what those tabs are below (bordered below …
Missing Log entries

Assembled MACRO-11 listing

Firefox browser search sucks
Dave referenced one of his videos with a link on twitter, and YouTube responded “Video Unavailable”. Apparently the words “Bare Metal” was in the title. So I went to his channel and did a browser search for “Bare metal”. As you can see below the browser reported a match. However it doesn’t appear on this …
Dave Cutler
Very interesting video, interviewing Dave Cutler. He’s worked on so many important things. I was mostly interested in his work on PDPs and RSX11. Still working at 81. Amazing!
