Needed to use my work computer for 5mins, fired it up the workplace software crashed (50/50 chance these days) only solution is a reboot. Start the reboot process “Your computer is updating, please do not power off” type message (Not word for word) I haven’t got time for this. Pull the plug before it starts doing anything serious, power on. Your computer needs to update before starting. 20mins before I can start a 5min task.

Plexamp is the reason I’m still using Plex. I’ll fully transition to Jellyfin as soon Finamp (or another music app) incorporates robust caching to handle internet deadspots.

While I do believe Roblox has been doing a terrible job handling reports of predators on it’s platform and the fact that they would rather silence reporters than dealing with the reports is completely abhorrent and inexcusable. I do believe that the responsibility isn’t entirely on them.

Roblox isn’t a daycare. It isn’t a school. It isn’t marketed to have any responsible adults online per number of players.

Honestly, what is the solution that this lawsuit aims to enforce? Paid moderators with complete criminal background checks to be responsible for 10 underage players each? Who’s going to pay for this?

All that said would I allow my children to play Roblox unsupervised? No. Which is a shame as many of the available games are fantastic and my friends children really enjoy playing them. That said supervison can literally be myself glancing over every now and then to see what type of game they are playing and if they are interacting with anyone, really low tier, low effort parenting skills if you know what to look out for.

I used a similar setup for a while but the input lag from emulators on android is noticeable, made far worse through a Bluetooth controller connection :( I went back to using my old PsP and had a blast retro gaming!

Thought I’d miss the ease of use, everyone always has their phone with them after all. But the controller attachment is far bulkier and less pocketable than the entire PsP!

Now I use the original Switch to scratch that retro itch

Here is a link to one of the bug reports: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1897006

Said report was closed down and presumed “fixed” but I still encounter this issue on the latest stable.

When you know what to search for you’ll find numerous users reporting similar behaviour on Reddit and other social platforms going back multiple years.

If I were more invested I would keep submitting bug reports and memory dumps in the hopes that it may once and for all get stomped. But I’ve made the leap back to chromium and can’t justify the time. I realise that this is a major issue but one that only affects a small percentage of users, likely affecting specific hardware / setups. If the developers aren’t able to reproduce it then it’ll probably remain unfixed.

I ditched Firefox due to a vicious memory leak which was so hard to track down (didn’t register in task manager) that I reinstalled windows before finding the culprit. As soon as I identified Firefox as the cause and then, when I knew what to search for, discovered it was a known bug existing for years I ditched the browser with prejudice.
