Yep, I had the same thought. Better to either fix the rupture or let the gas burn cleanly than just let it vent into the atmosphere.

That's OK. I have great faith in the huge community of hackers and tweakers that mess around with Windows - there will inevitably be a PowerShell script or Registry tweak for getting around it.

If that's the case then Instagram should not entice people in by temporarily granting access. It should be upfront about requiring an account.

No. My grandmother used to pay for Norton and used Windows. When her laptop started to slow down, I slapped Neverware's CloudReady on there (a ChromiumOS distribution) and she's never had problems. Never needed Norton again either

It's not marketing, but clickbait media watering down science that can't really be watered down.

I could be completely wrong, but my guess at the cause would be the registry. Every functionality and feature in Windows has a flag somewhere in the registry. Every query is probably a disk read, and it's a blocking operation of course

That's terrifying, no? A whole planet (yes a dwarf one, but still a PLANET) is just rogue and will wander through the orbit of Sol as it pleases.

I like it. Steam is fast and fairly lightweight compared to the competition. It boots the games and lets me buy new ones, that's all I want.

This is exactly what unit tests are for. Besides, the business logic should be already fairly separated from the presentation logic. As for preventing inconsistencies in future, try getting your QA team back.

I say "please no" for other reasons. The web is already ridiculously feature-bloated. The scope of it is reckless. The madness of adding new features to a browser for every little use case needs to end.

ripgrep is one of the most powerful tools in my toolkit. It is amazing being able to scan through huge codebases for strings and patterns in what feels like an instant. It eliminates the need for code intelligence or a full fledged IDE in m

Awesome, can't wait to be irreversibly put on a blacklist because a black box algorithm has decided something doesn't look right.

Sometimes I feel like a paranoid weirdo emailing companies to delete my information. Sometimes I'll even have to be a bit forceful and put pressure on them. But when even the big guys like Volkswagen can't properly protect PII, ho

That argument doesn't make sense. UI has no impact on API compatibility. The only situation in which software would break is if it's doing screen scraping and automated input, in which case that software deserves to break. Backwar

I couldn't give a damn about macOS or the "Linux desktop". Yet I would still call Windows a disaster. Windows 10 was released almost 6 years ago now, and it's still a Frankenstein mess of 10 different UI styles dating al

New Microsoft desperately wants to be like Apple. They're being tight lipped because they're imitating. They want their products to seem integrated, well designed, well engineered, even... exciting. But they don't have half t

>So any buggy app (or just a `make -j`) can crash the system? Yes. This isn't the 80s anymore, nobody runs multi-seat mainframes. Any critical system should be designed to be resilient enough that a machine can reboot without downti

This seems like a massively overcomplicated solution to a simple problem. If you're running out of memory, it's because: 1. You don't have enough memory for what you're trying to do 2. Your software has a memory leak Add

My theory is that bank loans are to blame. When we say someone has "bought" a home, it's rare that they've actually bought it, rather they've just signed a contract promising that they'll pay back a huge sum of

Yes, but advertising this as a feature of PM is misleading. This is more of a "GPG Integration" or "Support for GPG".
745.
by c7DJTLrn 5y ago
Then advertising it as a feature of PM is still misleading. The correct way to advertise it would be as "GPG Support", or "GPG Integration".

by c7DJTLrn 5y ago
PM does not state that the E2EE they provide requires use of GPG. Like I said to others in the thread, it's lying by omission. It's made to sound like a 'it just works' feature when in reality 99% of your emails will nev

That would be the dream but man, they are a hell of a long way off.

Been a ProtonMail customer for years, still pretty dissatisfied. They've been promising U2F (a pretty standard security feature) for years, yet there is still no sign of it in this release. They've spent years obsessing over calen
