Thats a problem with this site & chrome based browsers, use firefox to see the image
OK thanks but then why does it work on firefox?
Surely its more likely to be the browser then and not the site

Just out of curiosity, just checked to see if that image would load in Safari, and it does.
So is this a case of Google/Chromium ignoring industry standards or something else (perhaps Chromium is the only one doing it correctly?) since it appears to happen with all Chromium based browsers but otherwise works fine in non-Chromium based browsers?

It's Chromium enforcing HTTPS URLs when on a HTTPS page (not just Chrome, I use Vivaldi). Which personally I think is a good thing. There's very little reason why anything should be non-HTTPS nowadays.
fair enuf(*) but chrome is not enforcing it that well
rightclick on the image, copy url, open new tab, paste and viola, chrome will display the image!
(*)Though from my understanding https vs http, viewing an image like this is not a security risk, sure if you had to type somehitng eg log in details on a http site then thats a problem, but viewing an image, I don't think so
But I know fuck all about web security, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong (which I could very well be)
That's correct. It's not forcing a website URL by itself to HTTPS, just non-HTTPS content within a HTTPS website.
In XenForo there is an option to proxy all non-local images so when viewing it, the image is cached locally and the URL becomes the site's domain and URL, thereby ensuring non-mixed content. On my XenForo forum I take it a step further and I have a plugin which actually downloads the remote image and stores it as an attachment, so it becomes the same as an uploaded image. It solves that problem but the main reason I do it is to preserve the image forever so that remote images that disappear won't affect the thread.
OK thanks

Not everything require security imo.
How to Move the Taskbar to the Top in Windows 11 | Tom's Hardware (tomshardware.com)
I prefer to have the taskbar at the top, tried this trick and it works very well.

Welp, I bit the proverbial bullet and allowed Microsoft to upgrade my desktop rig to Win11. The centered taskbar and start menu take a bit of getting used to, I think I like the new control panel look, and I'm NOT a fan of the missing full backup capability (Windows 10 called it the "Windows 7 PC backup.")
Boot time seems the same as Win10, which is to say it's about one second after the Dell U2711 powers on after receiving input from the DisplayPort interface. I feel like BeamNG takes a bit longer to load a level, although I have no actual data to back up that statement. I'll poke through more of my Steam library over the next few days to see if I can find any hard data on game performance changes.

I'm more interested in whether there's a way to "expand" the taskbar so that it's 3-5 "rows" of icons. If not, I may choose not to upgrade to Windows 11. I absolutely hate having all taskbar entries for open windows for an application (like say multiple explorer windows) collapsing into a single taskbar entry. Ugh, I HATE that behavior so much. So, I often need 3-4 rows (taskbar at bottom on a display in Portrait orientation) if I'm really working on multiple projects.
I might potentially suffer for gaming by staying on Windows 10, but productivity is more important.
