I wonder why they didn't just ask in advance. Something like 'we would like to test your review process over the next 6 months and will inform you before a critical patch hits the users', might have been a win-win scenario.

Thanks, that explains a lot. I was kinda confused by the complexity of the results, but if it is about ranks, it all makes sense now :-)

> SOP is a solution to a browser-specific security issue. Indeed, it is, but in my opinion a pretty bad one as it causes a lot of collateral damage. Instead, they should just use the (cookie) state from the origin that initiates the requ

When I read such articles I imagine SpaceX dropping their own rover in a few years that will autonomously drive around and gather more data in 30 days than NASA had in 30 years. However, it will also manage to get stuck/kill itself wit

I can say, that is not true for me :-/ Since a few weeks I use two 4k displays with my work laptop running Windows 10 and I with 4k it seems that Chrome is quite a bit faster than Firefox on Windows. With the FullHD resolution I used b

Actually, I think you are wrong. I mean, it depends on what you call a local bakery and what exactly you would define as black bread (I use a very loose definition), but to my knowledge most bakeries offer some kind of black bread and every

While the Brezeln look great, I wonder why the blog post says nothing about the typical 'black bread' or Pumpernickel many Germans love so much: - https://www.omas-schwarzbrot.de/media/image/9e/b2&#x

Because that is actually the classical pattern of applications using the internet ;-) The whole point of internet protocols like HTTP, SMTP and the likes is about not having control over the server and being able to let programs talk to eac

You are missing the point. You are right about SOP vs. CORS, but the point is, that most clients that are no browsers have no SOP and therefore also don't care about CORS. So every server, that is not specifically designed to accept co

For non-browser apps the server doesn't have to explicitly allow it. A simple curl can access any server it wants. If y browser based apps wants to access another server, that server needs to be configured to allow it (because of the S

What the article completely ignores, is the fact, that building cross site apps has been next to impossible for a long time. Since you can't contact a server who doesn't explicitly allows connections via CORS, your browser based a

Often it is not just about the products. Sony as a company has shown so many times what their perspective on customers is (installing root kits on customer devices, the whole PS3 + Linux debacle, etc.), that I try to avoid Sony products as

How much time of these 8s is spend in EFI? When I look at my PC it is so painful to see, that it actually spends more time with EFI than with the OS: $ systemd-analyze Startup finished in 7.859s (firmware) + 1.203s (loader) + 1.683s

Actually, I liked the >1min boot times of old Linux distributions (thinking SuSE 9.0) far better than the 'you-never-know-if-you-actually-rebooted' state of modern Windows. I think the there have been a few really important cha

What I like most about Win 95 when I started it a few years ago on the original hardware (some 133MHz PC), was the speed. Sure the old harddrive was quite slow, but if the harddrive is not involved the OS is actually pretty fast.

Actually, I would prefer a good mix too. Both models have their strengths and weaknesses, so mixing them should give us the chance to use them at their best.

To be precise: it is not like pictures are disable, but instead 'external resources' are disabled. So if you embed the picture into the e-mail it will be shown. For small pictures that is quite reasonable.

Actually, that is the first time I see the JPEG artifacts as something beneficial. Maybe they should invert the 'quality' scale and call it 'privacy' ;-)

Btw. it is not just about date and location. Many cameras also add the lens, aperture, exposure time and the like, which can be very useful for post-processing. I think most EXIF information isn't that sensitive. And regarding the ti

With virtual servers this should not be necessary, as it is easy enough to add some disk space. After all, this should not be a common issue in production environments, but more like a once in a decade problem. With physical servers it migh

Actually, I hate it: Once you have discovered the hacks, there is no way back and those carefully designed illusions are lost for you, forever ;-) But yeah, the ideas some people come up to make something work are pretty amazing.

My solution for the anti-cheat problem is NVIDIA Geforce Now (via Chromium). Sure you will need a good internet connection, but at least you can simply start it right from your desktop without much hassle.

A few years ago (~2017) I built an app that uses a hybrid backend. As a user you can choose if you want to use a WebDAV server of your own or simply the builtin AWS backend. That way, people who care about their data can use their own serve
