Firefox: Weird rendering with high contrast mode
I figured out why Firefox 91+ seemed to break some CSS rendering for me (as I blogged about a few weeks back): high contrast mode.

I replaced the brake pads, and the front calipers and rotors on my car this weekend. It ended up being a much longer and more tiring project than I thought, with some problems to deal with, but I made it. I’m glad I was able to with my health situation.

I made the call to get the Mac so I could directly migrate both my work computer user and my personal computer users, with the plan to use it for development and use the Yoga for other stuff.

Last month, I finally bought a new laptop with plans to replace my aging 2009 Macbook as my primary computer. It is a Lenovo Yoga 7i, purchased from MicroCenter. It is a switch from Mac, which has been my primary OS for pretty much since I’ve been using computers, but it has touch screen and I hope to switch to the open world of Linux.
