Security updates, I am afraid. At least that's what the launch video said.

I thought it was always better to disconnect your external screen (from a Macbook) during an update.

I mean, you don't _have_ to install another marketplace for apps.

Note that unfortunately they actually have a set of cards that are better suited for crypto.. they just don't want you to use these.

The digiconomist actually compared watching Youtube with a single bitcoin transaction (don't know the specifics and how accurate), but they said 1 btc transaction is the same as 51.000 hours of watching YouTube: https://digi

Can't speak about Eastern Europe, but here in the Netherlands the public transport with Google Maps is really good. Including live-timing as to when your tram will arrive.

These street maps are becoming insanely precise, probably helped by the competition. I see that Google Maps is now testing "detailed street maps" in some cities: https://www.justinobeirne.com/google-testing-detaile

The Google Cloud was almost unaffected, during the outage you could not log into the cloud console or use tools like gcloud - but the services itself (vms, gke, pubsub, etc) kept working throughout the outage.

I mean, Sam Altman is just one of the founders and the CEO of OpenAI - so yeah, what does he know.

I actually got to hand that one to them in a positive way. I had a Pixel XL and now a Pixel 2XL, and the support is amazing for me. I've received two times a new Pixel 2XL over time (okay, not good that it broke) and that support was r

Yeah, I really don't get why they don't just release them everywhere. The same for all their products btw. In the Netherlands they still sell the old Google Wifi (1st gen), which is apparently their main product as it is the first

Pretty sure Apple didn't pay anything for having Google Maps in the app store. It was Google that wanted to be there. I think Apple did want navigation, POI information and user information to use in for example Siri (and linking to l

Yeah this ^ I guess Google did an MVP and everybody is expecting it to be a fully-fledged offering already. That might have been due to Google promoting it as such of course (and asking the price for it). What I also see happening is that a

To be fair, if you stick to just using the Google Play Store, _this_ malware wouldn't hit you. > According to Malwarebytes, the source of these infections is "web redirects" that send users to web pages hosting Android app

I think one of the things that GA is doing is actively removing bots visits because they skew country/browser/etc. data. Maybe Matomo is not doing that (so well)? Another thing is that people blocking GA trackers will also not sho

I meant the NDA from the party where the bug is reported, Apple in this case.

Probably not. I think that most of those bounties can only be redeemed when you sign an NDA.

You also can't do multi-region on Google Cloud SQL (MySQL). The only thing you can do is run your replica on your own VM and configure it to read from the Master in Google Cloud SQL. (Or I am completely missing something)

I am gonna guess he meant a datacenter for Google Cloud. Google probably has their own points-of-presence for Google and YouTube.

Does Firefox search IN the content of the pages you visited? Almost can't imagine and in my test just now, that did not work.
