Macken testar: StopTheMadness Pro – ser till att din webbläsare håller käften

StopTheMadness Pro är ett tillägg, en plugin för Safari med en enda uppgift – städa bort allt tjat om kakor och andra störande inslag. Magasin Macken har testat en plugin som ser till att din webbläsare håller käften.

Du kommer till en webbplats och det första som stoppar ditt besök är en dialogruta som rågar om du tillåter kakor eller inte. Du kan välja mellan att bara ta emot tekniska kakor eller scrolla igenom en närmast oändlig lista på andra tjänster och företag som just den här webbplatsen samarbetar med. Det är här StopTheMadness Pro träder in och svarar det du vill att den ska svara – du kan tillåta alla kakor, bara tekniska kakor eller så inga kakor alls – automatiskt.

Tyst

Safari tystnar plötsligt och det är närmast som en befrielse att slippa och sitta och besvara samma fråga gång på gång, på gång. Nu går det att surfa som ”in the good old days” med en webbläsare som inte blockras, som inte stannar för damma fråga.

StopTheMadness Pro har dessutom synkning via iCloud – du behöver alltså bara ställa in saker en gång, sedan synkas allt till Apples moln och du har samma inställningar i din iPhone, iPad och Mac – StopTheMadness Pro finns nämligen för alla prylarna och allt ingår i ett och samma pris – 199 kronor.

StopTheMadness Pro kan dessutom skydda dina urklipp, stoppa automatspelande videor, blockera URL-förkortningar, stoppa länk-trackers med mera. Det är ett avancerat, något komplext program men många inställningar – men det gör å andra sidan sitt jobb och göt det bra, tyst, diskret utan att du märker det.

Nintendo’s Virtual Boy app is now available to download

Nintendo’s Virtual Boy app is now available to download

blank

Nintendo’s Virtual Boy app is now available to download on Switch and Switch 2 as part of its Nintendo Classics offering. You’ll need to have a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership to access the launch titles, and unlike Nintendo’s other retro emulators, this one also requires a dedicated accessory.

As a reminder, the Virtual Boy was a portable tabletop system released in 1995, and the first console capable of rendering stereoscopic 3D graphics. It had a facemask with a monochrome red display built onto a bipod, so rather than wearing it like a modern VR headset, you had to awkwardly push your face towards it to play games.

Olympic curling gets ugly with Boopgate

Cursing and controversy rarely mix with curling or Canada. But a tense game between the Canadian and Swedish men’s teams at the Milano Cortina Olympics delivered both. The incident shocked fans of the typically sportsmanlike game.

The Swedes told officials that Canadian Marc Kennedy had touched the stone’s granite portion during delivery, somewhat sarcastically asking for rule clarification. Kennedy responded angrily: ”I haven’t done it once. You can fuck off.” He then complained about the Swedish team’s behavior, reiterating ”C’mon Oskar, just fuck off.”

Trump Uses Jesse Jackson’s Death to Attack Democrats

Donald Trump has once again made the death of an American public figure about himself. In response to the news that Reverend Jesse Jackson died on Tuesday, the president hopped onto Truth Social to remind everyone that he can’t be racist, because he was very nice to the famed Black activist.

“I knew him well, long before becoming President. He was a good man, with lots of personality, grit, and ‘street smarts,’” Trump wrote. “Despite the fact that I am falsely and consistently called a Racist by the Scoundrels and Lunatics on the Radical Left, Democrats ALL, it was always my pleasure to help Jesse along the way.”
