The blockquote is still inside the page and indexed by search engines. While many will get a blank preview, it is still immortalized on the internet and visible if you block Social Tracking / Twitter's widget.js.

In this case, you would still leak the data you had on the user. In France, according to the CNIL's recommendation, you can keep users' data in backups but you have to notify in clear words them that their data is kept X years. As

If you control the firmware already, you don't even need over-provisioning. You basically have a higher access-level. A disk is rarely 100% full so you could easily squeeze a few megabytes on a non-overprovisioned disk. Depending on ho

Glad you're happy with the current default. It would have been a shame if distros changed it to accommodate users of a "Linux Desktop" !

I'm using mine as Escape but almost everyone I know use it as Caps Lock. To be honest, outside of the people using Vim/Emacs, I haven't seen anyone remapping Caps Lock. Usually users with remapped key know how to change their

I used to use CamScanner. The scanning mode will take a distorted document, find the edges and output a "flattened" document. For me, this was usually more than enough to look like a scan.

Now that's one hell of a straw man. Do you also plan on controlling this stand, allowing others to sell on your stand while watching every single transaction (and maybe the recipe so that the analogy is complete?) and while also having

If I may suggest, take a look at autorandr [1], it saves your monitor configuration and automatically enables it when a set of monitor is detected. It's a small thing, but it improves the experience and will replace your home alias. [1

The thing is, XPS laptop have issues going to S3 Sleep/Modern Standby. There are many threads about battery draining due to this. The question is, why isn't the laptop shutting down properly when it begins to overheat inside a bag

It is probably worth reading the clarifications made by ProtonMail [1] and their Transparency Report [2]. As a company based in Switzerland, it was clear to they could be compelled to do so and they never hid that fact. IMO a breach of trus

A few years ago, IPv6 in China was reserved to universities and it bypassed the golden shield (at least censorship, added packet loss on long-running connections, added latency, ...). 2.28% is already impressive if the situation is still th

I've been experiencing delays too but only on the first request. This was due to uBlock Origin initializing. On mobile, this load time adds up really fast as it takes around 5 to 10 seconds for uBlock to load. In the mean time, request

That and also, most captcha I've used so far require a server-side validation that is not replayable with Curl (as the token has been used during the first submission).

Electronics, Fruits or even raw materials, I do think there are a lot of products where import plays a role in the supply chain. A product manufactured in the UK (I assumed as you used £) might have a price increase if the required material

While I think this is mostly true for western countries, I don't think this applies to everywhere in the world. According to statcounter [1], Android 5.1 and 4.4 account for 8% of the devices in Africa while it accounts for 3% in Europ

Thanks for sharing, I did not know either. It is hidden and forbidden if you have under 200 karma which might explain why it is not that well known.

Browser fingerprinting allows you to identify uniquely a browser and thus the user. This usually means that VPN and incognito mode will not help you to "change you identity". One example I know well is AudioContext fingerprinting

Text rendering is way smoother, you can also read smaller font because they are more detailed instead of being pixelated. While QHD is enough for me, 4K is great because it is a factor 2 compared to 1080p.

Damn, it seems you're right and it applies to any domain ending with this instead of hulu.com subdomains. From the name of the quirk, I'm not sure this is an issue though.

Great explanation, thanks. While I knew several object storage techs came before S3, I was not aware that there were also similar APIs existing before. It's bad from Amazon to not credit predecessors. If previous APIs are that close wi

They did invent it and name it like this. Is there an issue with calling it Amazon S3? Can't they get credit for it? Even software such as Ceph calls themselves compatible with "Amazon S3 API".
