Just use something like 'servicerelay-<randomdigits>@yourdomain.com' and setup spam filtering rules that lets pass everything received at 'servicerelay-*' and delete or reject everything else.

So what is it that you want? Either you want a masked email or you want an easy way to migrate away. You could still setup trashcan+randomdigits@yourdomain.com manually. Or you could setup a catchall rule for your new provider. Unfortunatel

I agree with everything, one thing though: > they’re not wrong if they think that more PWAs will bring problems Why? Webview-based apps (Cordova, Capacitor) are very common, especially in the long-tail of the App Store. PWAs and Cordova-

Sure, you can do it on the server with Node. Node has `http` as part of its standard library and you can write a simple webapp without third party dependencies. Check this tutorial for example [0]. The problem is that Node's http lib i

"Couple of iterations" – since 2016. Tesla is changing nothing here. Waymo is, but only in Phoenix, AZ.

Even more weird: most people think rare earth is rare as in: "there isn’t a lot in the ground and it is easily depleted". Whereas in reality, rare earth means that it is less common per cubic meter of earth than other minerals.

It really is interesting. Apple could potentially claim that they didn't connect Personally Identifiable Information with the leaked health data, but a third party app, which gathered that data, did. Depends on what exactly was in th

The Gamed 0-day compiles just fine. I can run it on my iPhone with iOS 14.8 and it shows 300 contact information gathered apparently from various sources without me giving any permission at all.

I'm wondering how the health-data incident works with respect to the GDPR. Apple says it stores Health data in a protected way on the device. In reality, health data is leaked through logs and can be accessed by any other app. It is im

It's very simple, actually: Products that are connected to the internet directly or indirectly need updates forever. Products that are not connected to the internet could keep the same software version.

Very cool. I had to code a Cells app in Java back in university, too. One thing though: add undo/redo to the Cell task as a requirement. After all, "a good paradigm should give you this functionality for free" :)

I don't know why you're downvoted, because you're right. If you check the detail answers from parties on Wahl-O-Mat, you can often see this: Party A: "We agree, but only if x" Party B: "We disagree, because we

So, does Instagram upload meta data such as GPS infos of your entire photo library if you give it access? - there is no OS indicator - it doesn’t require CPU time - it doesn’t require much bandwidth - it could happen only occasionally and c

Good read, because it’s true. Yes, we can have more abstraction. They are called libraries and frameworks. React being one in the JS world so that nobody has to write document.querySelector all the time. But programming is about edge cases

Apple could start to compete on price for IAPs, so that devs favor Apple’s solution out of free choice, not because they have to.

Exactly. Stripe and PayPal could be integrated easily.

This is already the reality anyways. Most apps have some kind of subscription with wildly different terms. They are not easily comparable anyways.
