I really hope this tool takes off! The problem with existing tools (iptables & co.) is that they are pretty much useless for "ordinary power users". I don't want to spend my precious time checking logs and trying to figur

Curious: how do you detect that some plugin is phoning home with iptables? Especially if it is cleverly written to only do it when there is lots of other traffic?

That's not the point. Sure, everything can be disabled - if you know there is something that should be disabled. Do you? I am 100% sure I don't. LittleSnitch notifies you about such activity and conveniently offers to block it. Bu

Or Flir Lepton. A bit more pricey (~$200), but image quality (wrt. noise) and resolution (80x60) are much higher.

I am probably missing something obvious, but... how did you make those $7000? Donations? Nice btw.

According to article this is not the case here: > “We weren’t infringing. But we couldn’t afford to fight the case,” he says. Instead, his company settled the 2015 claims with Acushnet by agreeing to get out of the golf-ball business alt

But if I understand correctly, this decision was Google's entirely? If that is the case then it doesn't matter much what forum thinks about Symantec. Buying a certificate which is not supported by a major browser vendor would be..

I don't care either, FWIW.I haven't used OneDrive yet and I probably never will. But the reason I will not use it is exactly this - I know I will always be unwanted customer in their eyes. And I don't trust them not to throw

I haven't tried detecting whether link prefetching is supported by a browser yet. Not that I think it should even be detected, because those are hints to the browser. If you need to depend on them there is something else wrong with t

Sure, but that is for some very limited cases. And even then you should generally check for browser and its version, not the OS. Browser makers go to great lengths to make browsers run identically on all supported platforms.

Sure, they still make a ton of money, but I am arguing that their power is declining due to stagnation in innovations. Once the cycle reverses the profits will follow too. All IMHO, of course.

Interesting, though I fear if this becomes mainstream, the producers will just optimize food for good readings. Does that mean good food? I would bet not. It's the same as with roses which nowadays look beautiful, but smell like - noth

The real difference is that now we have a choice. With Windows there was monopoly and it was practically impossible to use another platform if you wanted to exchange documents with others and similar (which is basic functionality for comput

This! As a Linux user I don't really care if someone is neglecting my platform of choice or purposefully sabotaging it, I'll just move on in any case. Not performing testing on Linux is inexcusable in my book in this day and age.

PNG successfully replaced GIFs. It is because of the decision not to support animations that GIF became a synonym for animations.

This is why I don't usually withhold such information - I deliberately present invalid (but sane) data. if they care so much about market research, they should be prepared for some dirty data on the way. I value my privacy much higher

The cynic in me would assume this is a well played game. Look at us, we can't even use Vi properly, and we use these unsophisticated attacks to break your defenses. Nothing to fear from us, don't worry...

GP is talking about visitors doing free work for Google. Googel can use the results to train its algorithms - this is a big set of data and very valuable. Of course the site (and with it visitors) benefit in this exchange, so I agree with y
