Frankly, yeah. Like yes, zero day vulnerabilities exist, and things can sometimes escape the sandbox. But I don't think a sandboxed OS will be free from them either.

I mean there is little recourse they have either way, they have to comply, even if they wanted to not hand over the data, they'd have to change the app in ways that leaves them no way to provide cops with the data.

Honestly it puts the legal burden on YOU. Think of Github Copilot like a fancy pants search engine, it mixes and matches stuff to your query, and doesn't even tell where it copied it from! Indexing search results, fair use. Using that

Cool project, however for me the value of a gift has always been the time and thought someone put behind getting me a gift than the actual gift itself. I feel like services like this would just take it away. Plus wouldn't you want to g

There isn't a standard way to do this, and all depends on people using random "Geo IP" databases. Most of these databases are made using a variety of sources, though primarily the easiest is to see what ASN the IP address bel

I do not understand why anyone who only does 2-3 searches a day would pay 10$ a month for a search engine though?
118.
by Anunayj 4y ago
yup! If I do a very conservative 40 searches a day, and save 1 second on every search, that will be 20 minutes of time searching saved over a month!. I think that alone might justify the cost for some people.

Yup! I really like the fact I can just add a !g to go to google. it's small quality of life features that I wish more companies would focus on.

Ha, I was trying to debate the cost of paying 10$ a month for a subscription like this, and this might have changed the way I look at it. As a developer I wasn't thinking about "how much I am willing to pay for it and how much use
