In this case it makes sense, the key is a "private key" in the cryptographic sense, but it's not "private" in regards to the pypush app, it's needed for the app to work, so it needs to be public information or

Even if it could format 128 bit integers, I don't see how that would be any better than base64-encoding them. Base64 is already pretty close to the maximum efficiency you can get for shortening UUIDs while still using URL-safe characte

I'm pretty sure the answer is #1. Gradual, per-account roll-outs of new "features" is very common on YouTube, and from the people I've talked to, the affected people seem to be fairly random.

This exploit isn't at all related to the Intel CVE, just a coincidence they came out around the same time. And an instruction set that strips everything but the necessary instructions sounds a lot like ARM or RISC-V. No need to re-inve

I think it may seem like Torx has more sizes than say Phillips or flat-headed screws due to the fact that with those you can generally get away with a screw driver that is "close enough" in size, whereas with Torx you really need

They're well supported on modern browsers, both mobile and desktop. If you need to support IE then you can use a polyfill. It's essentially just a long-running HTTP request. The main issue I've run into before is if your serv

Yes, you can run standard desktop Firefox extensions on FF for Android. There was a whitelist of extensions Mozilla allowed you to install though, I'm not sure if that still exists on the most recent versions.

I don't understand how a black hat, even with access to your account, could spy on your traffic? They're entirely different concepts. Just having access to the account doesn't mean you can see all data going through the netwo

Thanks for the replies, I guess a lot of it does boil down to "that's just the way things were". Although, like I mentioned, all those features do work on Windows 98, which released over a year before Mac OS 9, so I think the

The fact that it needs a server at all seems unnecessary. It's all written in JavaScript, and isn't doing anything that couldn't be done in a browser, I see no reason why this can't be an entirely client-side application

Completely agree. I could actually get a lot of use out of a tool like this, but the fact that even the VSCode extension sends the JSON to their servers and opens it at a publicly accessible URL makes this a no-go for me. I wouldn't re

The whole point is to determine if you have full internet access, so you want to make sure that an HTTP request returns the data you're expecting. You may be able to get DNS responses but not have full internet access, like when on a p
