I don't get why this is such a revelation. Windows 11 is a modified and reskinned Windows 10, which is a modified and reskinned Windows 8, which is a modified and reskinned Windows 7 which is a modified and reskinned Windows Vista whic

Despite the consensus of Google from people who know about alternatives or ways to avoid it, Google is still the most mainstream and de-facto search engine in atleast the English speaking world, and is the top most visited website in the wo

This trick has always come across as a dark pattern to me and seems a bit disingenuous. There's no way it would take that long.

Can we refrain from memeing a political movement that has resurged in respect to the countless people that have been murdered by police just for their skin colour?

Well I think Oculus is a no go for a lot of people now, as cheap as they are. What's with the "Good Standing" thing? I've heard people got banned for simply linking their Facebook and Oculus account. Why does Facebook co

This is gonna end up with collateral damage of players who want to be vigilantes but will end up getting banned anyway (assuming Valve does anything at all) I've completely ditched casual, and due to this scenario there's a large

So they've essentially done what they have been doing for years. A bit unrelated, but what with the controversy surrounding TikTok and Facebook making a clone making me think the US is on the same track. Dark times, I'm not sure t

It's funny, because their website is horrendously broken on mobile. Now, hmm, I wonder what would've fixed that.

If you're using Firefox there is a tweak you can make to not give sites access to your password.[1] Aside from that, try to avoid using auto fill, just copy the username/email and password from your manager directly. [1] https:&#

I have reservations about Apple, but ill never deny that their product engineering for both the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch continue to impress me. Now if only they could get engineering like this into the Macbook line, because that's

I'm a diehard Android user, but you cant deny the benefits of Apple's tightknit ecosystem. Apple is a very "my way or the highway" in their approach to software design. This doesn't really matter to Apple as a comp

I'm a Firefox user, but I don't see myself using Lockwise, it's too lacking in features, not to mention the security caveats of using your browser's password "manager". You're better off using a third part

I'd have to disagree with you, they showed a wide diverse selection of games, and anyone who expects to love every game in a selection like that frankly has unrealistic standards. One thing I will criticise, it's the lack of infor

I personally agree, but I don't disagree with their advocacy for online privacy and will fully support their endeavours.

Bitwarden, I moved from lastpass a few months ago. I've no doubt heard people's problems with it, not being as feature packed or suitable for enterprise, but if what you want is a no-bullshit PM that isn't owned by some big b

This is ridiculous. Especially since Spotify and Google Podcasts host the same podcasts. I guess you can't really get big as a mobile developer now unless you're already a massive company.

Not necessarily, besides, people are so used to ads nowadays.

I'm gonna be honest, "We switched from MongoDB to thousands of Chinese children forced to memorize numbers (medium.com)" is amazingly hilarious to me, as much as this thread is just representative of how shitty of a place 4ch

Coming with privacy tools, exploitation of the privilege is bound to take place. It sucks to see it happen, especially to a community I have particularly fond associations with. Let this be a lesson though, if you're planning to spend

While true and while phones are considerably more powerful now than they used to be, modern ARM SoCs don't come close to their x86 counterparts.

Same here, it's nice having the luxury of being able to view it's source code. LastPass is clunky and always threw errors for me. Hell, even deleting my account threw an error, but it still deleted my account, but I didn't ge

I started using LastPass a few years ago and ended up swapping it out for Bitwarden. Some may argue its not as feature rich but holy hell is LastPass a clump of proprietary and clunky code. I'm really starting to see the benefit of ope

A surprise to nobody, really. Its a free service, you're kinda expected to suspect they're attempting to make money by some other means. Can't deny the irony in security software compromising security though.

Sadly I don't think we can say for certain, that's why in these cases people typically stick to open source solutions, such as NextCloud.

5G to me sounds like the tipping point. Who needs gigabit connectivity on data? Seems a bit needless. Not to mention the fact that the technology makes the coverage so spotty there's hardly any time you'll actually be able to util

I think it's soon to come, due to the rise of its use and the security counter productivity around SMS 2FA. You could argue Google Authenticator for Android but personally, even if a first party authenticator comes into Android and iOS

If you're handling private / confidential data on public WiFi on a regular basis, it might be a good idea, but keep in mind that most websites have HTTPS security applied to them already, which means that communications are alre
