Can I share my low-quality disappointment that the primary article image is a 1.1MB PNG of (I assume) Tim Berners-Lee. No wonder it loaded slowly.

Absolutely - just recently on two separate occasions I spent half an hour to an hour searching Google for particular website that I was a fantastic resource on a topic. Yesterday that was < https://www.homenethowto.com/>

It is possible for your contribution to be so bad that it is actually harmful that you tried in the first place - but that's a pretty extreme situation. For the benefit of both the maintainers and the contributors, projects should re

I'm almost at the same stage that you are. I think that as powerful as traditional desktop operating systems have been, they are clearly less secure than mobile operating systems which sandbox applications. People have sensitive data o

That's pretty much what it's designed for. I think I remember reading about some esoteric differences with real life - related to dropped packets vs merely rate limiting the connection with HTTP2.

To be fair, I don’t think most people know how to repair things when they need to repair something. For example, I wouldn’t even know where to get started with a TV, so 10 hours in total seems reasonable to me

iFixit is the only place that I’m aware of, but “most” might be an exaggeration unfortunately. They have the most popular products certainly, but for less mainstream devices you are entirely out of luck. I support the idea behind iFixit, so

If we continue looking at memory usage as is the focus of the article, then I suspect that this multi-process model will have the highest memory usage of all the approaches. I’m under the impression that processes are quite heavyweight in r

The same would apply to any digital content (zero-copy cost) which can be substituted . For example, why watch film A when film B is available more cheaply. Of course, it's difficult to have substitutions for entertainment (for variou

Well the backup code is for emergency situations (ie. to set up your replacement device and get a new backup code)! Sometimes they give you more than 1, E.g. Google gives 10. I have had the worry though, imagine using it and your PC crashin

I’m a bit different in that I only save the backup code to the separate KeePass DB. I hadn’t even considered saving the key/QR code to it, which seems just as secure as what I do now.

I don't think they offer much in the way of security, but they do let you isolate the websites you choose from each other. I wrote a very small blog post about them: http://iamqasimk.com/2017/11/21/firefo

Thanks for sharing the script! This is a more "complete" version of Firefox Multi-Account Containers. Is there any concrete advantage in doing this versus opening Firefox in a new profile? For example, do Firefox profiles share so

Is there any reason not to just block third-party cookies ("Accept third-party cookies: Never" in settings) all-together? I've never encountered anything breaking as a result of doing this.

This is great and fairly simple to use. I personally use it to separate out Google into its own container, but it is also more practically useful to allow you to login to the same site with different accounts. It just works! But, the one pr

I know someone who uses the gateway but it was a long while before we (I) found out that he didn't receive edits or emoji reactions, which may or may not have caused significant miscommunications.

From my understanding they can train the agent to accomplish a fairly complex task, by first "training" the agent to be able to accomplish simpler tasks that are perhaps only slightly related to the final goal. If you want to lear
