There is a certain unfortunate irony in the realization that one of the easiest ways to avoid this kind of thing is to buy a commercial digital signage panel intended for advertising instead of a consumer TV.
For search engines, this is an interesting list: A look at search engines with their own indexes. It doesn't cover every possible Bing frontend, but it gives you some idea of where else to try if your default search engine gives you nothing.
As for web browsers, a short practical list broken down by rendering engine looks like this:
Webkit-based: Safari
Blink-based: Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, Opera
This is almost ten years old, and NPAPI plugins have been desupported by pretty much everything except Pale Moon, which forked from Firefox so long ago that it also still supports XUL.
The answer is more than one, because Firefox has several forks of its own, and as far as I know all of them (even Pale Moon, which is highly divergent and never supported Manifest V2) support uBlock.
I agree that all Chromium-based browsers are going to drop support sooner or later.
In which case, the question becomes: what percentage of users are actually using ultrawides? If it isn't >50%, then the default should be the setting most appropriate to non-ultrawides. Unless you're going to autodetect screen resolution and set the button's location appropriately.
This is not rocket science, but Windows has been blowing it for quite some time now.
You can't really blame them. It'll be a lot easier to pick up the pieces without a bunch of lookie-loos getting in the way (and they don't need even the occasional would-be looter, either). The visitors can wait until residents have settled back in and surviving shops and services are back up.
That's because you lack the political will to fix the actual problem, which isn't an issue anywhere else in the world and has absolutely nothing to do with communications.
Build a Faraday cage into the walls so that only wired connections will work. Boom, no bans required. Actual necessary calls go through the office landlines, like they did in the 1990s. (Probably impractical, especially given the refit required for existing buildings.)
Thing is, there's still what you might call a stagnation space between "line goes up" and "must declare bankruptcy", one in which even a publically traded company can ride for a year or so without the shareholders getting too anxious while they wait for the line to start going up again. Yes, you'll get the occasional company cratering by doubling down on a bad decision made in pursuit of line-goes-up, but 240 of them suggests that there's something more going on here.
It may be that the issue is the "higher borrowing costs" that the article alludes to, and the way these companies have been conditioned to do business causes them to overextend themselves by borrowing too much. That means that the ones that stay afloat will be the ones that can correctly balance the risks inherent in taking out loans.
Today, the cost of residential construction is 81-per-cent higher across Canada’s major cities compared to 2017 and more than double – up 107 per cent – in the Toronto region, according to Statscan data.
And part of that's inflation, and the rest of it is . . . what? Higher property costs for unbuilt land? New environmental regulations? Increased municipal permitting and red tape? Companies driving the expenses up by building large detached houses no one can afford? A knock-on effect from industries producing building supplies?
Are the costs being driven up at a similar rate outside major cities?
A lot of people seem to hate her for whatever reason,
She was wealthy and in a position of power over something they cared about, which she managed in a way they didn't agree with. Some people have a hard time seeing people who are very distant from them and not part of their particular tribe as human beings.
Nevertheless, she was a human being, and presumably she had loved ones who are now grieving her loss. I don't want to think about what this vitriolic spew is doing to them.
Once you have more mice than cats, the cats can't win if the mice are sufficiently motivated to put in an effort. That's why mice still exist even though cats have been around for millenia—only one mouse needs to escape the net. (Well, okay, a breeding pair if you're dealing with actual mice, but it's a lot less than the total number of mice.)
I suppose it just seems incredible to me that the airline didn't even try to come up with another excuse after they were caught out on the first one. Maybe it really was an executive recreational jaunt to Palm Springs.
"quality"="gets me the answer I'm looking for, if it exists, and as quickly as possible". Regardless of whether I was making a simple nav query or trying to figure out what an error message from some obscure piece of obsolete software really means. No other metrics need apply.
Unfortunately, Google still has the largest database of pages indexed, even if its frontend sucks like an industrial shopvac. So it can sometimes answer questions that engines using other databases as backing can't, even if locating that answer is like fighting back a horde of zombies with a paring knife.
So what was the actual reason for cancellation? Aircraft so undermaintained they didn't have enough functional ones to cover all flights, and that one lost the coin flip? Multiple air crew down with COVID? Exec wanted the plane to take some friends golfing in Palm Springs? Seems like even the tribunal looking into this never did find out, although they did make the airline pay up.
