The article does not mention reporting it to the police. I get that 99.99% of the time, nothing will come of it, but that’s something I would immediately do. Maybe I just don’t get the rich aspect of going out and buying the newest latest model right away and forgetting about the stolen phone, even if it is theoretically still in the reach of police forces.

Apple has the benefit of making everything themselves, down to the secure enclave processors and, as of some time also, the processor as a whole. They get to design their hardware, OS, software, ecosystem, all around security and it all plays together nicely.

If you control everything, you can do whatever you want with it. Android phones being more of a mixed bag of different vendors making different parts of the phone, including the software components, makes this interplay much more difficult. It usually takes android quite some time before they catch up on the latest security concepts.

If not, he’ll just draft the women and children, too.

Just in time for me to finally have completed my Matrix setup a few days ago.

I’m afraid well-established “standards” are nearly impossible to overturn.

What do you use instead?

They don’t get that their actions lose them money. They will just keep throwing more ads and higher prices at you while their profits continue to spiral down. Who would’ve thought that people will get pissed and drop Netflix when sharing passwords was cracked down? What do they think will happen this time.

It’s blue and black what are you high on?!

Super Hot and Beat Saber don’t cause motion sickness. If you have no idea about how the different kinds of VR movement affect nausea and haven’t developed any VR legs, then that’s absolutely on you. Especially given that Alyx remains accessible to people prone to motion sickness by giving you the option for teleport locomotion and snap turning instead. I know my limits and while I can use smooth locomotion, I still use snap turning. Don’t blame the game if you don’t know your limits and it’s essentially your first VR game in which you don’t stay in a single spot.

This. Maybe I’m getting old but I really get frustrated when people start calling everything social media. In particular, I keep hearing people group YouTube and communicators like Discord or even freaking WhatsApp under this label.

Better than Google now, but still not better than Google back then. It my experience at least.

Yup. I constantly found myself appending !g for important queries that I needed an answer for right then and now. Google has stopped providing that commodity. It’s almost never worth it anymore to fall back to Google.

That, and you can also decide what (if anything) gets blocked on a per MAC/IP/FQDN basis, so you can explicitly allow ads for specific devices.

Not sure about that. Phishing scams make sure to hide their identity really well and while something like .com might require your personal information, I can imagine .ru allowing anonymous registration. Once you’ve got a domain, getting a certificate for it with Let’s Encrypt happen in seconds with no personal information iirc. Even if you’d need to disclose something, you could just lie. Let’s Encrypt is highly automatized and I doubt anyone would check the information for some random domain. Yeah that cert/domain will be taken down quickly, but they’re incredibly cheap and easy to create.

TLS has become too easy to acquire for it to have any effect, I’m afraid. Didn’t Chromium remove the padlock signifying HTTPs connection due to just that? That it doesn’t really mean anything anymore in terms of illegitimate websites (still obviously crucial against MitM)?

Gawd, not Tizen. Their documentation is horrendous, there’s no wonder it never took over if developers were mentally punished for thinking of creating apps for it.

Minecraft rewritten for better performance with platform interoperability in mind and so on. Essentially what could’ve or should’ve been a replacement to Minecraft if done right. It was not done right. Quite the opposite.

Ah I see. Hope to see it brought to mobile soon.

Doesn’t Bitwarden already have that feature? https://bitwarden.com/passwordless-passkeys/

I’m in the niche of niches by using vsc with a vim plugin while being a dvorak user. I rely on vim’s langmap feature to get anywhere, but people implementing vim emulators blissfully ignore accessibility like that. So I went and implemented langmap in vsc’s vim plugin myself. It has minimal intervention into the existing codebase and a bunch of other people have been wishing for this for years. Yet, when it comes to merging… Silence.
