Yes it does still exist. It came preinstalled with the ThinkPad I set up for my daughter yesterday. That’s why I immediately installed Firefox and made it the default browser instead.

Yep, Firefox Nightly is my daily driver. I use Edge Canary for sites that don’t work on Firefox, such as the Snapchat web client.

ThinkPad

Haven’t seen that name in a while. Linux?

  I wish I could run Linux on it, but it’s for her online school next semester and they specified either Mac or Windows. I’m guessing there’s a proprietary software situation. Honestly though, she’s so inexperienced with Windows (her previous school notebook was a Chromebook issued by the school) that I don’t think she’s ready for Linux. She screwed things up just playing with system sounds and I had to rescue her.

    Ah, yeah. That makes sense. But at least you’re there to fix it all; many of us learned by breaking things. Repeatedly, lol.

    Oh yeah, I messed up plenty of stuff. And I’m sure she will too. Just not ‘repeating the same wav forever’ stuff.
