I personally find it hypocritical that they say it works best in "proper web browsers", yet the page has some pretty basic HTML errors in it: https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fgefiltergate....

In this case, nothing. The "attack" was a standard credential stuffing attack ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credential_stuffing ). Attackers were just using credentials that were leaked in other data breaches

I don't think dialect is the key thing. As someone from the UK, I don't need a news article to use "pavement" or "footway" instead of "sidewalk". But I do appreciate sites using a UK date format, and

Really!? I'm from the UK and can think of loads of sites that offer a British English version. "Favourites" instead of "Favorites".

You're talking about different concepts. Voice recognition used by things like Google Assistant, Siri, Cortana, and Alexa usually relies on a "wake word", where it's always listening to you, but only starts processing wh

I clicked on a book at random, and it had ePub and Mobi formats available for download. I guess it's just down to whatever format the book is in within their archives.

Yes. The lack of support for this in Firefox for Android makes using many forms disappointing. Interestingly I see that https://vehicletax.service.gov.uk/ uses type="tel", so I am getting a numeric keyboard in Fir

That's in Germany. It's up to the regulator in each country to enforce the rules. The ICO has a reputation for being toothless.

Unfortunately, they are still non-committal on what is required. They advise that passwords should be hashed, but there is nothing that makes that a binding requirement. The gist is still "do what you think is appropriate". The IC

Troy has actually covered a similar topic to this in the past: https://www.troyhunt.com/banks-arbitrary-password-restrictio... His viewpoint seems to be that poor security practices around passwords in banks are not a big d

To whom, and on what basis? There is nothing in UK law that says banks have to store your passwords "securely". Issues like this have been raised in the past, and authorities like the ICO have said no law is being broken. GDPR, fo

I'm sorry, what is your justification for not using cloud-based services? Lastpass (like pretty much all of these online password managers) will work offline, so if the service goes down, you can still access your data locally.

The most recent versions of the .NET Framework (including 4.8, the final version) are supported for as long as the OS they are installed on is supported. I think that because of that longevity, you're going to see lots of the main libr

Here in the UK, IKEA promotes Fika as a concept and offers a discounted hot drink/cake combo in the cafe.

I don't really get it - why would the company know which of their employees was or was not part of this or any other protest?

I guess it's a bit like the official browser based Minecraft https://classic.minecraft.net/ Doesn't seem massively newsworthy to me.
