Firefox In The News
Mozilla has defeated Microsoft’s default browser protections in Windows
“In version 91 of Firefox, released on August 10th, Mozilla has reverse engineered the way Microsoft sets Edge as default in Windows 10, and enabled Firefox to quickly make itself the default. Before this change, Firefox users would be sent to the Settings part of Windows 10 to then have to select Firefox as a default browser and ignore Microsoft’s plea to keep Edge.”

Ask Slashdot: Why Is Firefox Losing Users?
“This weekend finds some long-time Slashdot readers debating why research shows Firefox losing market share. Long-time Slashdot reader chiguy shares one theory: “Firefox keeps losing users, according to this rant, because it arrogantly refuses to listen to its users.”

Stuff I bookmarked recently. Some off topic, some not:

America struggling to keep up with other countries in exercise, general health during pandemic
“Unfortunately, Americans aren’t faring as well. Only a third (32%) say they’re now able to exercise longer without feeling winded, while only 29 percent have gone down a size or a belt notch over the course of the pandemic.
Additionally, 53 percent of global respondents have more energy throughout the day, compared to 29 percent of American respondents.

“The results above indicated that 36.4% of American adults report being able to perform fewer than five consecutive push-ups. An additional 17.4% report being able to perform between six and ten.
In other words, 53.8% of Americans self-report being unable to perform 10 straight pushups, whereas a minority (46.2%) report being able to. Of those unable to perform more than 10 or push-ups, approximately 31% identified as men.

    Just a heads up… And a call for thoughts. I downloaded MS’s program to see if I can run widows11and nope I could not. UNLESS… I changed three settings in my bios. Ok no problem. Changed rebooted and….. Wtf? Will not boot. So… I tried, pulling the battery , jumpers , pulled 3 Sticks of ram , my DVD and other HD and never could boot and never could see the screen to even try to use the assorted (f) keys. But… I put a HD with Ubuntu and it booted! But still can’t get to the bios to reset it. Any thoughts?

    I can no longer see the boot screen. F2 would normally put me into the bios screen. I’ve tried everything I know gone online even Dell techs. Lol even though it boots to Ubuntu drive it still won’t let me boot to DVD or USB
    . I am getting better with Linux though 😉
