I was an avid reader as a kid, and took the Accelerated Reader tests almost religiously.

I switched school systems one year and jammed out all the tests I could remember.

Got an award at the end of the year. A neat little blue engraved plaque. Not sure where it ended up.

Sorry, this comment was mainly just providing the previous user with a correction because they seemed to think that the other person that they were replying to was talking about forcing people to use phone apps, which I assume we all agree is bad and would likely work if there were a concentrated push for it.

Concerning your points after "using the browser": I want websites to use replaceState and manage their own intra-page navigation with a cookie. They can still intercept the back button as they do now, but they should only get the single history entry until they switch to a new page, if they ever do.

I don't think I'm disputing your facts, I was responding to the scenario you presented which was, essentially, "what about email". I would say it's fair that my opinion on a canonical browser history is solid and unlikely to change, though.

I think the word 'app' was being used in place of 'webapp' there, which is the general target audience for this feature.

I don't think that email and browser history are similar enough to make a meaningful comparison, honestly.

Maybe someone could say that, but I am not.

I see a specific instance of a specific bad feature being specifically abused. I don't care to entertain whatabouts.

I accept that it's how things are, I just personally feel as though the only way this feature could ever work as it does now is with the implementation it has now, and that the convenience of single page webapps that use history manipulation is not worth the insane annoyance of helping my grandma get out of websites that tell her that she has been hacked by the FBI.

I'm frustrated that removing bad functionality is being treated as a slippery slope with obviously bad and impossible jokes as the examples chosen.

I see a bad feature being abused, and I don't see the removal of that bad feature as a dangerous path to getting rid of email. I don't ascribe the same weight that you seem to towards precedent in this matter.

I'd prefer an independently owned small store, as someone who installs cash register systems for independently owned stores primarily in rural West Virginia.

You appear to have accidentally responded to a different thread of comments. I mean this genuinely and not sarcastically.

... With all currants in it? Just like mother used to forge.

It's the Handset Protocol/Handsfree Protocol that was developed for simultaneous sending and receiving of voice data. They're the only protocols that support sending and receiving voice at the same time, and they do that by sending mono telephone quality audio and receiving mono telephone quality audio.

It's why most gaming headsets, even ones with Bluetooth, include a small RF dongle separately. Bluetooth is technically incapable of high-quality audio when recording.

Nothing better than selling a single-purpose bit of plastic intended to go into the microwave and boil water that is functionally a replacement for a bowl that you presumably already have that expressly states that you can only use it for up to 5 years.
