Depends on the browser, but sometimes dedicated search field, sometimes in the omnibar, plus LLM can search contents (depending on extensions)

I definitely feel there should be a much better way, but I’ve tried read it later services, built in “reading list”, link aggregators, all of which have just enough friction that I peter off using them, idk

    People think I’m crazy too, similar number of tabs.

    But History no longer works in so many browsers… it only lasts 30 days… and bookmarks are not suggested properly in the search / address bar the same way open tabs are, so it’s wrong, very very wrong, and quite naughty… but this is the way to achieve this specific kind of long-term referencing… with zero effort

    People “knew” about dinosaurs and giants (for the less obviously-lizardy bones) for thousands of years. A lot of them were not very far from the surface.

    The idea of Dinosauria has only been around like three hundred years, so you can see why myths prevail. Personally I think Pterosaurs are much more fascinating than any fictional Dragons, but this post is about dinosaurs.

    This image is slop.

    It’s been extremely slow to develop (30+ years) and it’s being forced by funding rules rather than trying to develop the best intercompatible standard on the open market.

    It’s like the phones-must-have-USB-C mandate, where the EU mandates a specific technology rather than, say, a working group that picks the best standard. But in the case of USB-C, it already existed and was relatively easy to swap in for the incompatible standards with respect to price, manufacturing etc. So even though it is generally a bad idea to mandate a specific technology, it’s fine.

    With ETCS, it’s not like they have banned competing technologies, but they have put their thumb on the scale in favour of ETCS in a way that makes it more economically attractive. But it’s an extremely slowly evolving standard, and it’s not better than competing systems, in fact part of the slow down is that it keeps getting updated to better compete, leaving a compatibility trail behind it. Essentially this increases red tape to any paths towards innovation or improvement, and a lot of places are just sticking with their aging systems… which may be a problem.

    Some Samsung smart fridges stopped working on Tuesday due to a firmware update.

    Korean outlets were the first to report the problems, which affect Samsung’s Bespoke AI line of fridges. Star News Korea, per a Google-provided translation, said that most of the affected devices were four-door fridges from 2024 or later.
