If Thailand blocks Apple's relay domain and IP address what else could they do besides tell you it isn't going to work?

Even if they're not developing the code, it would be good for them to push the third party to get it fixed, given that the 3rd party is used in their product.

It's not quite that simple. There are occasional differences with user interactions where one will have a bug the other doesn't (or you could say the bug is with the site). My colleagues have demonstrated these bugs to me. I'

The app I'd like to install is Chrome. The iPhone is only for testing. It doesn't leave the house and I don't use it as a personal device so there isn't really anything to protect on it. Maybe I'm being unnecessaril

And for that matter, why do you have to be logged in to your Apple account before you can download free apps?

That wouldn't work with my desk and screen setup that uses MST. I use devices that do support MST but not displaylink like my Steam deck, or out the box Linux installs.

The Intel hardware supported MST. It's unclear about their ARM hardware (and the suspicion is not supported from people who've looked into it).

Apple has more than one operating system. iOS requires you to sign in to install apps. Technically this doesn't lock you out the operating system, but it's close.

The monthly sub was to get greater than 1080p resolution, and some free games. But a lot of other people also thought you had to pay twice, which can't have helped.

I don't think it was your other reasons. You could use other controllers on stadia- they even made it a selling point that the only thing you had to buy was the game. And when connected via USB stadia controllers worked fine with Steam

The price of an Android zero day has been slightly higher than the price of an iOS zero day since late 2019. Make of that what you like https://zerodium.com/program.html I suspect remarkably few people are qualified to obje

Based on the context I think by "c like" they meant languages with a culture of dealing with raw pointers. c# is c by name and curly braces, but primarily uses managed memory

Android on the desktop. The only desktop exclusive app is the shell itself. Otherwise it's all the same apps as you'd be using in phone mode. The shell is Samsung's own thing. But it works well enough- it has a start menu lik

It's still there. It's not past tense. My phone only supports outputting to one external screen (unless you count mirroring or the phone's screen) The most obvious limitation to me is none of the browsers really adapt to bein

The one time I installed Facebook I found it inferior because it was ironically less native than the website. Through the website photo uploads used my phone's native image picker which integrates with services I've chosen to use.

Hashing passwords reduces the threat from database dumps, but it doesn't help against an attacker uploading a compromised version of the app and siphoning off credentials as they're submitted.

They have both an RPM and deb download https://www.google.com/chrome/ But I get your point that if I'm enabling it through fedora's interface I'm already trusting more than just Google.

This is the command for silverblue. For Chrome to work you'll need to enable it in "Software Repositories" (which you get to through the hamburger menu in the "Software" app). rpm-ostree install google-chrome-stable

The web assembly support looks cool. Years ago I had a requirement for portable ruby on Linux. We'd been using Traveling Ruby which was looking very dated (it's been updated since). I chose to rewrite in Deno rather than sticking

This is also cool because unlike a lot of other end to end systems you don't have to trust the client they provided you with.

Assuming it is the case I don't think it's polite to share this information. I don't know their motivation for creating a separate public image, but I think we should respect their decision to do so by not connecting them.
