Did they ever actually sell these? I've been trying to get my hands on a pair but have found it impossible.

Does it work with Google Voice forwarding? I tested it by calling my Google Voice number, but it looks like it doesn't.

I've been really skeptical of DDG, but one of my favorite features they've implemented is the system wide dark mode support on macOS and iOS. It's worth using just so I don't burn my eyes out on Google's solid white

Offline attacks for a motivated adversary, like NSA, are trivial on low strength security measures, like a standard PIN, numeric only PIN, or pattern. Only a strong passphrase would really help you.

I used to have wired headphones die all the time due to stress on the wires connecting to the earbuds or to the phone, and get ripped out while walking nonchalantly down the road. There are a lot of problems with wires that are solved by no

This may constitute a response, but it’s not clear if the original author wrote it in response to Guzey’s claims, or if it was the author or just an imitator. The writing style strongly suggests it’s the author, and it uses the author’s twi

The biggest problems I have with paper notebooks are essentially: 1. Privacy. Anyone who acquires the notebook can read anything in it. I'm not discussing anything particularly important most times, but I'm reluctant to write down

It...appears to be so? The infographic states that they "send a strongly hashed and encrypted copy of your username and password to Google." They explicitly mention that the username, not the password, is sent with a 3-byte hash p

So let me get this straight. We currently consider it poor practice if passwords are stored for authentication purposes in anything but heavily salted PBKDF2, bcrypt, or sometimes scrypt. Yet it's okay to just send SHA256 unsalted hash

I'm definitely in the camp that light / dark mode should match the time of day or ambient light level. I love having "light mode" in the morning, but at night I always prefer dark mode. But this is because I have a huge

There's an important distinction though. Windows is a de facto monopoly in the sense that almost every PC built has Windows installed on it, but not all PCs built are by Microsoft. Apple has always maintained that the physical object i

Maybe I'm the only one, but when I start looking into a project, I start at the API docs and work from there. I really need to know if key features I want are viable on the platform or not. If I want to use an accessibility API to, in

I think we as developers understand the rationale behind it. The outrage you may see is that in self hosted instances, the companies and people that pick that as their option do so because they want an isolated/independent system. Tele

I'm really interested in how this plays out. It seems to me like the SEC's argument is that Grams aren't a currency because you cannot currently buy or sell goods with Grams. But the currency hasn't launched yet, and tha

You kind of can compile and run anything you want, but by default free developer accounts can only run 3 apps for 7 days until they expire. Tools like Cydia Impactor exist for this purpose.

The real problem here is that Tesla is operating under the assumption that people obey warnings they give them, and that they behave rationally around their luxury cars. They do not. In a perfectly rational world, people would read the warn

As an A12 owner, I'm really happy my device is now reasonably more secure if taken into a government back room during customs or via an evil maid attack. Different perspective I suppose.

This is the one thing I wish Apple would solve in a new version of macOS. There are so many ways to automatically start software, and I would love a more built-in way to manage what can start with the system. They have login items, but that

Honestly, if you're going to go this far, why not switch to Firefox or another Chromium/Blink-based browser, like Brave? It seems kind of counter productive to kill off the auto update system when you can just as easily switch to

I've tried to switch to Safari about 10 different times, and each time some random different missing feature stopped me from being able to do it. It's got low market share relative to the other browsers and the most picky users ar

Honestly literally any other icon would be better, and that’s something you should do today (not later). I understand that you think brand recognition is really important, but the current logo screams “I’m a Windows application ported over!
