I binge-watch the MMX videos over the course of a couple of weeks a year or so ago in order to get up-to-date and have been following it since. It's been great to see the thing evolve through the challenges, setbacks, and breakthroughs

After seeing the headline I thought "If this is by anyone other than Joe Barnard they've really missed an opportunity here". Glad to see it's him! His videos are always in-depth and don't hand-wave or gloss over the

Faraday is a wrapper around lower-level libraries like this one. Faraday would likely need some modification to support the concurrency aspect, but eventually you could be using Faraday _with_ httpx, rather than instead of.

I have the same situation, Bitwarden for personal use and 1pass at my job. 1pass does a few things better (2FA, background agent so I don't have to log into the browser and desktop app separately, general level of polish), but apart fr

That's not what HTC were going for with the Pro, it's geared towards commercial use. Hobbyists are still buying it (naturally) but what we're really waiting for is whatever Valve are up to.

OnLive's patents were bought up by Sony in 2015, and I imagine they now power at least some of Playstation Now, Sony's streaming servier.

I think Matrix is brilliant. I run a synapse home server and updating/maintaining it has been a breeze. That said, on a couple of occasions (once a while ago, and once with Riot 1.0) I've tried migrating from my free Slack org to

In answer to 2: Buying all 5 days means that they're employed and getting paid for that fifth day, but they have no work tasks. This is so that employees can't work a second job on that day, which would be 'moonlighting'

I'm seeing the same thing (Firefox). Apart from that this is a great little extension. I especially like that it only asks for access to the sites it's known to work with, rather than blanket access.

On their FAQ page they state that their app is 'public source'. I assume that is so you (or presumably your organization) can audit (rather than debug) it if necessary. I've not tried it, but they also suggest you can compile
