I would personally like to punch every Firefox developer in the face.

No, seriously.

What this means is that Firefox now prevents you from logging into any older device such as routers, switches, RAID systems, load balancers, and so, so many more devices that lack certain newer security measures (don’t feel like explaining it all here).

Most of these devices are not capable of being updated to something new. Either the vendor does not have an update or is out of business.

These sort of devices are not rare. At the last place I worked, there were probably 20-30 of them on the network.

This is not at all unusual.

So it means that these devices – which all have web interfaces (only) – can not be managed by Firefox. At all. With no way to override this idiotic behavior.

What are these annoying fucklet developers even thinking? Are they even thinking?

When you are so convinced you are right, not even the dumbest thing possible can convince you of anything else.

Hell fucking yes.

As for whether humans “need” or “get used to” a Retina resolution, that way of thinking is backwards. The default state for humans is real world resolution (no pixels), or for text, the resolution of ink on paper (600dpi to 2400+ dpi). What we had to “get used to” was the unnaturally chunky, low resolution of displays from the first computers until now. Those Dark Ages are over and now we can enjoy computer displays that have the resolution they always should have. A 96 dpi monitor is not “normal,” it is as archaic as a dot matrix printer.

People arguing that hi-dpi is not needed just boggle my mind. The world is hi-dpi, all the way down to the Planck Length, the “pixels” of the universe. Why would you not want readable text? Why would you not want excellent graphics?

Status quo bias in action, I guess?
