the real name of a welsh village, from the site:

Prior to October 1999 it was not possible to register .com domain names longer than 26 characters (including 4 for the .com suffix). This denied many businesses and organisations the ability to register their full trading names as a .com domain name. However in October 1999, it became possible to register domain names up to 67 characters in length (including the 4 for the .com suffix).

for anyone who cares the name translates to:

"The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave" an my welsh friend can say it all in one breath :)

    • It's been four years, and I still don't have a strong enough reason to upgrade to Windows 11

      I am still running Windows Vista. It is my favorite release of Windows.

      True... they used the same core, but 7 worked out of the box. Vista made Me a superhero in comparison. See.. apps may have had issues running with Me because the changes were trash compared to 98SE. But I only installed Me one time and it ran, crashed.. .ran, maybe crashed some more. I made a living off of having customers reinstall Vista because it became unstable fast. Some may call 7, Vista SP3... but the final product doesn't compare to the original Vista core when they launched it. Even today, you're going to hear some that say they're still running 7, or will always have 7. Not Vista.

      slowness that result in unproductive, when something was easy fast one click now its basically 2 or 3 clicks and more mouse movement not the end of the world sure but forcing changes for the sake of it for no good reason its one reason why people dont like 11.
    • WhatsApp for Android expands chat themes with 18 new colors

      By zikalify · Posted

      WhatsApp for Android expands chat themes with 18 new colors by Paul Hill The WhatsApp Beta for Android has just been updated to version 2.25.19.2 (via WABetaInfo) bringing with it 18 new color options, expanding the selection from 20 to 38 colors. This update brings the Android app up to parity with the iOS version, which got this beta update at the start of the month. The expansion of colors will give users greater personalization options for their WhatsApp chats. You can pick the new colors individually per chat or from the settings for every chat, complementing the existing support for various custom backgrounds. How the new chat themes work To set the new colors for individual chats, just open the chat you want to theme, press the three dot menu in the top right and go to themes and change the chat color. To change the theme color across the whole of the app, just go to settings and then select chats and change the chat theme. The new colors are compatible with both light and dark modes and affect the message bubbles. Unlike Messenger where theme changes can be seen by your contact, theme changes in WhatsApp are only visible to the user who applies it. User reception and future outlook Most people running WhatsApp are using the stable version, so you won’t see these new theme colors yet, we will have to wait a bit longer for that. Even if you’re on the beta, the feature may not be available yet as it’s being rolled out. While not a massive change, lots of people like to theme their WhatsApp messages so this change will be welcomed by those that do that. The messaging app scene is very competitive, so this will help Meta retain users on WhatsApp by boosting satisfaction. If you have had a chance to try out the new themes, let us know in the comments what you think!
