Going through all the effort of learning how to compile chrome just to change one single line of code... not bad ;) Had to do the same on the android kernel once. I found the kernel source and the line of code I wanted to change pretty fast in the repository, but it took me days to find out how to compile it (or actually get it to compile without errors). Really frustrating experience at the beginning but I learned a lot. Guess this was the last episode for some time now due to corona? :/ Nice easteregg btw :) Stay healthy!
@@khai96x How is it called? I've patched the kernel on my nexus 7 to tell the battery management ic to not charge the battery above 4V to increase its lifetime
Great talk. I've been wanting to contribute to either Firefox or Chrome for a while. Would love more info on this. Perhaps a Supercharged coding session?
Firefox helps me every time I discover a bug in Chrome. Recent one. Chrome 80 happens to crash if I have screen split, with both sides occupied by Chrome, and move tabs between windows. Solid crash every time. Does not happen in Firefox though. I wonder do we see signs of Chrome becoming new IE?
That'd be Safari. But can you describe your problem a little more detailed (in a chrome bug)? Because here noone will care and your bug report isn't even remotely detailed enough to recreate it.
@@snapstromegon I have automatic crash reports send enabled. I can share report Id if it helps. Apart from that as I wrote: two Chrome windows side by side, each takes half of the screen. Open a new tab, load any website, move the tab to the second window. Usually first move crashes, but sometimes it takes another move to crash. Windows 10 (1909), Chrome 80.0.3987.149, NVidia 445.75. hardware acceleration on.
@@kalleguld no, main laptop display is off, external runs on built-in Intel graphics. Tried to run Chrome on dedicated graphics - the same stable crash.
- Did you fix Chrome?
- No, it's still broken... mostly
Finally someone said it.
I love the fact that Surma could actually get a measure of how many users would be affected by the change. That's great! No speculation!
lol oops i thought that was a bit of playful sarcasm until i saw the ending portion

your wording confuses me, "android kernel"?
We are doing more podcasts!

@@RoterFruchtZwerg IDK. Android uses Linux kernel. So I guess you probably touched Linux code?
@@khai96x Guess I did 🤷♂️

I liked the easter egg in the episode
damn, i had to watch it twice to spot it 😂
what easter egg???
@@Maolo92 Maybe you should watch it again ;)
Hey, what happened to the "what's new in chrome 81" video? It was removed shortly after it was posted
(Sorry for the off topic)
@@dassurma thank you for the link
Will you share knowledge hot to bompile and contribute to chrome?
82 version? 🤔 But there is no 82 version anymore, if i understand news properly 🙂
Surma fix chrome or chormium V8 ?
Chromium
funny easter egg :D

Are the monitors on different graphics cards?

Do you have any Group policy set up?
Might be a plugin doing something weird
These people are doing a lot of social non-distancing. I wonder when this was recorded
Ah, judging by 6:39 it was >= the fifth. I suppose it was super apocalypse by then 😆
@@MaxCoplan Look at 0:12 - It was March 6th :D The UK wasn’t on lockdown at that point
