@twomikecharlie The behavior changes depending on location, zoom and viewport size, a common problem is that by dragging along a long street while keeping the zoom level at some positions no street name label is visible. Desktop is much better than mobile though. The consumer focus argument makes some sense, although I'd still be in trouble to find the direction to the döner place if I can't tell which part of an intersection is which road right after I got out of the subway (also happened to me).

@twomikecharlie As I wrote I have this problem all the time with different maps. That includes OSM (also mentioned in the ticket) and GMaps.

#Geoinformatics geeks: why is it a hard problem to make all street names visible on a given window over a map?

This is an old support request of mine:

... but I'm struggling on a weekly basis with this problem using different maps.

Type notepad, get the Store one, not the System32 one. Why? App Execution Aliases.

Many people have drawn entirely wrong conclusions from this post. Meanwhile, an actual solution for preventing this kind of tracking lays in a different ballpark:
1) Get a burner laptop for your hacktivism or organized crime activities, never use it for anything else;
2) Get some dedicated hardware to run your VPN or Tor client, for example -- a portable battery powered router with OpenWrt;
3) Configure and use this setup in a way that prevents the laptop from accessing the internet directly;

[RSS] CVE-2026-47291: Remote Code Execution in the Windows HTTP.sys

https://www.thezdi.com/blog/2026/7/9/cve-2026-47291-remote-code-execution-in-the-windows-httpsys

I’ve been working with computers for five decades. Some people view me as an “expert” in certain subjects.

And I can tell you that when I am learning a new technology I still feel like the dumbest newb on the planet. I make tons of mistakes. I go down stupid rabbit holes of my own making. I have tons of self doubt.

So give yourself some grace. Everybody goes through this phase. Take a deep breath. Believe that you can do this.
