I didn't say that's not their job. I'm opposing to what you're saying. Their job is to spy on us, yet you claim they don't care about us. Can you see why I'm confused? >What they do if they find weaknesses i

How do you explain the fact that they spend hundreds of millions of dollars just to break these protocols then? Enough with this "NSA doesn't care about you" argument already.

I wonder if they'll remove (or at least most of it) developer tools from the main browser and try to get developers to use this version. Common criticism of Firefox these days is it feels (and in most cases is) slower and more bloated

I've been using Mullvad for over a year now. I have no complaints. Feel free to ask questions. (I have no ties with them, just a happy customer.)

Yes, exactly. I recommend this episode ( https://overcast.fm/podcasts/episode/110040344176 ) of Stuff To Blow Your Mind if you want to learn what Ebola really is. It was very informative and easy to understand for s

Thanks for the clarification. Apparently they still sell the Paperwhite 2 (same price), so people in those countries would probably buy that. I think making Paperwhite 2 100 bucks without changing its specifications would have been a better

Voyager looks nice, but as a Paperwhite 2 owner, I'm not going to upgrade it. I don't really care much about the physical buttons on the side for page turning but the screens and the bezel having the same height and being on the s

>Shutting down Etho, Yogscast, etc is likely to lead to hordes of 13 year olds hating MS for ever. Can you say with certainty that 13 year olds know what Microsoft is?

I believe that's fixable, but I don't know how hard the fix is. I wouldn't advise you to try to fix it on your own unless you know what you're doing, or you've already contacted their customer support. Don't he

I've just been unlucky, I guess. The longest Logitech mouse that lasted me was Logitech MX500 (around 3 years), which is funny because I also had top of the line Logitech mouses (MX Revolution, Mouse MX etc.). They were usually the lea

Very much agree on build quality. I mostly use their mouses and their rubber side always wears out after a couple of months and if I'm lucky with that, I get the common double clicking problem with left click. Thankfully their customer

I just told you the difference. What is it that you don't understand? Google's whole business revolves around showing you targeted ads. Apple's business is to sell you iDevices. Apple will not target you to the point where it

by dombili 12y ago
What Apple earns from iAds is chump change compare to Google's ad revenue. I don't deny iAds exists, but read my comment carefully. That's not their main source of income. Google's almost whole business is to sell ads. A

It's obviously not smart to rely on one company that heavily, but I can see his reasoning behind using Apple products. I too am not using any Google services if I can help it but if I had to make a choice between giving my data to Goog

Honestly, I don't mind that Gandi isn't offering the cheapest option out there. My domain and my host are from Gandi, so it was a no brainer for me to get my certificate from Gandi. I didn't even check the alternatives. If it

I'm not a tech savvy person (at least around here) but I used Gandi to purchase my certificate. I paid 12 bucks and it was extremely easy to implement it. To give you an idea, I didn't even know how to enable access to my site wit

Right, I'm not disagreeing with you. Google can certainly find out what you've actually searched for, which makes this tool useless. But that wasn't my point. This is not a website that you go to and tells you that if you cli

That makes sense, I guess. I'm not American so I don't know much about the inner workings of these institutions. Is it unlikely for FBI to ask NSA's help?

My first thought: if this is the case, then why did they try so hard (and get "trolled" in the progress) to get the SSL keys from Lavabit?
