Is there any value in these driver add-on tools that manufacturers ship? Like printer drivers they seem to be badly coded messes that create attack surfaces. For a typical laptop everything except bios updates can be got straight from the v

Is there any more information as to what this backdoor was? The article mentions the University of Surrey but also unnamed Microsoft Researchers.

The big players, Samsung and Apple, are vertically integrated. Their build costs are always going to be lower. Outsourcing also hampers the innovation they could do since they're buying components on a market. Also I think they had iss

The ask hacker news section isn't really a good avenue for discussion unless it's a general topic like:What's a good framework? or Give me an easy idea to make money. Best thing to do would have been to contact tech sites wit

Because what the country was advertised was a bunch of lies. Many Businesses have left the UK, they won't be returning. Pro Brexit people like the founder of Dyson have moved their HQ to Singapore after that country signed a trade deal

So the PDF seems to be $35. But why NYT? Is it supposed to be an analogue for media coverage in general? Especially since it says that they looked at multiple countries.

I thought PWA was just service workers and implementing routing on the web app level. What's missing in Firefox?

Here's a good comparison: Android Chrome's user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; SM-G928F Build/MMB29K) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Mobile Safari/537.36 Versus Andro

Seems like a lie to me. That forum he posts in seems to be a den of criminals. You don't sell crowbars to a bunch of thieves and be surprised when they use it for burglary.

IPsec at 1gbps needs a powerful router. A Juniper SRX 320 that I have can only can reach about 500mbps.

Nah. People making decisions don't care. Firefox usage will be reported as super low, and it won't be tested.

It's effectively the same as Blink which is used by Chrome, soon to be edge and any other popular browser. Google certainly thinks so when they check the Firefox user agent on Android and give them a some cut down mobile version.

It's really sad the WebKit has won. We're now back to single vendor. With Firefox being the only independent rendering engine and that's been on a downwards trajectory.

What is the benefit of Brave? A lot of people on the internet seem to be advocating it but reading the Wikipedia article they seem to have a business model of replacing website adverts with their own. Which doesn't seem all that ethica

The article doesn't even say this. The story is that a group was pushing for the creation of an emoji. They wanted underwear with a droplet symbol on it, but Unicode only approved a blood droplet. Of course it can be used for other thi

JavaScript is part of the web. Developers shouldn't have to cater for an incredibly small percentage of people that don't enable it.

Security and privacy are two big parts of the marketing for the iPhone. I'm curious how they can mitigate the reputational damage. Edit: It gets worse: https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/28/18201383/app
