I'm a long time Firefox user and I've been using Firefox plugins to configure customs key bindings to my liking. A couple of months ago, Firefox Quantum came out with better performance, but unfortunately is not compatible with any of the old plugins, so I've been forced to switch to Firefox ESR until the plugins authors can catch up.
It's been a while now, are there now any plugins that can re-configure custom keys in Firefox Quantum? Mũeller ( talk) 02:02, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
Like most it's counterparts, the Paperwhite, has a push button on it's lower edge which makes the screensaver appear, and touch screen becomes unenabled (to make the whole thing active and touch screen enabled one has to press the same push button again ).
Recently I happened to buy a two-sided cover for this. The e-reader fits the side meant to enclose the thing fits very suitably but the problem is that when I open cover the e-reader becomes active on it's own (without any need to push the button the lower edge, and screen becomes active to touch ). Is it normal? - I strongly doubt it since the fit-the-e-reader side has a specially build space (or gap) to reach the awakening button at the precise location. Have other users using the same two-sided-cover been facing (or faced) same problem.
Mine own guess, (which maybe wrong of course) is that the culprit is the magnetic locks which are on the right-sided and left-sided edges of the book-binding-type cover respectively. When left sided cover is lifted to read, the magnet on it's outer edge passes over screen causing some electronic disturbance inside. Needless to say that doing this over and over again may cause some serious problem in the e-reader itself.
Has anyone any solutions to the problem ? Jon Ascton (talk) 09:48, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
It seems that we lack appropriate software to be run on quantum computers because quantum programming requires solid backgrounds:
If classical logic gates could be built on top of quantum gates, it could facilitate the development of software for quantum computer I guess. - Justin545 ( talk) 09:59, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
Google maps standardly (on my PC anyway) shows urban roads as white on a white background. It is VERY hard to see, and I practically always flip to satellite view to get roads I can see where they are. Is there any way of configuring GM so that this doesn't happen (eg grey on white or white on grey or ...) Thanks. -- SGBailey ( talk) 19:46, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
