Figure out a revenue model which allows them to be not dependant on google search revenue. Why be intentionally obtuse? I guess the next thing you might say is "Mozilla should just stick to a web browser and cancel all their other proj

Sure. But the choice should be upto the user. If they want to send fake data then they should have the right to do that. It's my phone, so if I want to set my location to another country I should be able to. Of course this should be on

The term "Fake News" is an interesting one. It first described how news sites would pop up and spread totally false stories that would get social media users outraged to share it to their friends. However those that benefitted fro

Yeah there's a cheaper way. But like using Spotify versus ripping CDs or piracy, the convenience of the tool is the value.

Isn't this what they call the Chilling Effect?

Yes. But whoever is in the path of your connection to the server you're talking to can man in the middle you. It's your fault if you're trusting an unencrypted connection.

For corporate Man in the middle security products, it's a managed device where they put a root certificate on the device.

I've always wondered why browser's don't let you know that you're using a certificate of dubious origin. Certainly it would make employees more aware to not log into their personal stuff at work.

This is what they said of their specs: "CPU: Custom 2.7GHz hyper-threaded x86 CPU with AVX2 SIMD and 9.5MB L2+L3 cache. GPU: Custom AMD GPU with HBM2 memory and 56 compute units, capable of 10.7 teraflops. RAM: 16GB of RAM with up to 4

They've reinplented their browser recently. Still in preview with extensions support in development. But it's faster than Chrome in a lot of cases. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozill

That's a bad comparison. They're not forks. Firefox's is a separate implementation. The equivalent would be asking BSD to merge with Linux.

It's a Lenovo ThinkPad T450, I would assume it's an "enterprise" laptop. I'll give it a look, thanks.

So I keep hearing that the IME can do remote KVM. I've got an old laptop lying around, could I hook at up to my router and access it without remote desktop software from another PC on my network? Or does this require some expensive int

You're comparing a list of 2 pin connectors to an 18 pin connector. Perhaps using wireless charging and putting a rubber band round your phone will be a better solution.

HP used to be much more. It was a real innovative company. But the interesting parts have been spun out like: Agillent and Keysight. HP Enterprise was also spun out.

So Intel failed to mitigate the vulnerability when it was first reported. Then they extended the embargo from May until November. And they still didn't fix it. What's going on with Intel? Like they're going all in with lying

So from what you've said, your company teaches their employees to be worthless in the job marketplace, thus having lower earning potential. But also your firm engages in practices that could be viewed as morally dubious that HR activil

It's an extension which on the chrome store has 2,213,581 users and 710,051 users. Clearly that doesn't encompass everybody.

I recall a few months ago they released a marketing pack benchmarking themselves against AMD with a small print disclaimer that they hadn't applied the spectre/meltdown fixes.

This thread has plenty of unironic use of "SJW", complaints about any left wing activism being about stroking their own ego and how politics should be left out of the office. The posts about Stallman had plenty of defenders as wel

Is there a 32bit Windows 10? Perhaps possible to go all the way. Would be cool to produce some files in the first Windows like a picture in Paint 1.0 and then upgrade it again and again.

For "enterprise" hardware/software I would expect them detailing exactly what metrics they collect and what could be in a dump that gets sent. How do you anonymise a dump with user info especially for a routing device? Like t

I really like KDE. The philosophy that an DE can have extra functionality rather than the standard "if it doesn't run on a 10 year old ThinkPad, it's trash." Of course I'm being a bit unreasonable since the majority

Not much details on the forum thread. Has anyone extracted the data they send? Also I was under the impression that GDPR says that IPs are personal data. I can't imagine crash data from a router wouldn't include that. Also it seem
