This reminds me of the old "Windows XP Service Pack 4", or Windows 7 Minimalist ISOs that were going around. Generally, even the idea of using an OS downloaded from a random site (big Linux distributions excepted) is a security

You can recharge Navigo but not load it onto your phone like with Apple Pay cards. That's only possible on Samsungs, not other Androids or iPhones, and even though according to one commenter this may not be the case much longer, I hate

I'm split on this. In France, you can't store a metro card on your iPhone, because Apple won't open up NFC. You can do it on Android. Yet, I don't want banks to drop Apple Pay support, and force you to use their poorly c

Indeed! I don't know how to refer to this in a colloquial way because while having every single switch on a single screen isn't exactly a dark pattern, it does incite many people to just turn everything on because they "paid

Edge is messed up, in that you cannot change the default search engine. It only changes the search engine for the URL bar, not for the new tab page (which is likely used just as much). I'm not aware of any other browser that does thi

From anecdotal evidence, it seems that Android users use the cloud a lot less than Apple users. By default, Apple users will have every piece of data on Apple's servers unencrypted (with unencrypted iCloud backups, and all files from D

I'm glad there's more research on this, but that doesn't help those of us who have struggled (sometimes for decades) with this, and who, despite visits to many doctors, have never been able to find a solution except symptom m

I can't add stations to my Apple Music library; when I click on the three dots it just gives me a Share menu that lets me copy the link. And you can't see the songs in that station with a playlist-like view, just play them.

New Music isn’t like Discover Weekly from what I understand, it’s more like Release Radar, just music that’s just come out that AM thinks you’ll like. And recommended stations: you can’t add to your library or subscribe to, unlike Spotify;

Apple's doing very impressing stuff with audio, and it's interesting to see just how strategically strong Apple is (when you realize the link between Dolby and Spacial Audio, and the future Apple VR/AR headsets). But I still

It has to be some kind of money laundering scam, or other fraud, right? Surely, no matter how out of touch they are, these old investors understand that not a single teen and college studens actually watches Ted Talks every day, reads Vox

That's how Steam works. I think it's a much more dev-friendly policy, because in practice there's really zero reason to review Adobe or Microsoft or OmniGroup app updates since you know they won't turn into scam apps ove

I get that, but given that some countries have insanely restrictive Wi-Fi data caps (I heard 200GB, which I would probably blow through in a week or less), I don't see the problem. Even if updates-over-4G are disabled by default, pow

Sadly, Apple always gives the "latest and greatest" version all the security updates, and is more selective about backports, see here: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212814 for stuff you're unprotecte

Worse is the fact that the bulk of Apple’s security on Mac is codesigning/notarisation, and a primitive signature-based built-in antivirus. Windows seems to be doing so much better that it’s not even close, and in ways that aren’t user

This article doesn't mention the fact that Apple lied, and that Tim Cook "promised" in court that Epic would be let back in the app store if they promised to comply with the rules. Epic made that exact promise [1]. And now
