  On a default install on NP++ you can only save as rtf, but there are addable plugins that give some rtf functionality. So as a direct answer, no, it doesn’t, but it can.

  Microsoft: We can’t spy on your usage when you use wordpad, use O365 instead!

  Noooooo!

  I’ve been following Anand since he only did youtube videos and was considered a n00b. Back then, competition from the likes of Kyle @ [H]ardOCP, AMDZone, TheInquirer (now theregister), Tomshardware and many others I honestly don’t remember off the top of my head really ruled the roost.

  Anand made a name for himself in the company of some very tough competition.

  Hats off to the man, he had a great run.

  I only listed Opera b/c Vivaldi is based on it:

  en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivaldi_(web_browser)

  Vivaldi is absolutely a descent FOSS product, but will agree with the Opera sentiment and have edited my post more accordingly.

  I only listed Opera because Vivaldi’s based on it, but that’s about where it ends. Vivaldi and FF are the only two I use tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Opera, Vivaldi and Brave are descent alternatives.

  As per iFixit and other sites like tvserviceparts, it depends on the Vizio model. Mainstream models you can often replace the screen and even power input board, others you simply cannot without sourcing their brand though.

  Example repairable model: www.ifixit.com/Guide/…/120241

  Vizio makes it 100% impossible to acquire a replacement of: buttons, bezels, control boards and input boards for intellectual property rights reasons.

  In short, unlike other brands, they make it far less easy to repair either by IP restriction or by over usage of glues.

  Sounds about right: Vizio the throw away brand. Horrible warranty terms, they refuse to repair them even if you offer to pay and completely unrepairable yourself.

  Fun fact: When a rabbit is dying they scream like a baby, literally, to alert other rabbits. They’re definitely stupid in many ways, but they do have some built in survival tactics.

  Source: Used to raise and eat rabbits.

  I love that they took the time to replace the bottle with a TP roll and asd TP in the background, but couldn’t be bothered to modify the sign or product description.
