There are risks: I merged some contacts on the new web UI and now my Android phone has 8(!) different versions of one particular contact of mine.

If you've read the article, you would have noticed that he mentions he's a paid user when he contacts support.

"WhatsSpy Public is an web-oriented application that tracks every move of whoever you like to follow" is a stretch. When I read this clickbait headline I thought it could track GPS location, but the actual privacy leak is much les

The article is a little short on technical details, will only the Gtalk client be retired, or the XMPP interface (ie Adium) too?

I just discovered yesterday that I seem to have lost lots of Arq backups. I downgraded from Yosemite to Mavericks and the only backups Arq shows me are from after the downgrade. I'll dive into this this weekend, I _really_ hope I didn&

I have an Asus RTN66U "Dark Knight" and it works wonderfully in about half of my ~1500 sq. ft. apartment, but shitty in the other half. I'm convinced a single router won't be enough.

That's the feature I'm missing mostly from ABP: the "whitelist this site" quick toggle

This is a very specific corner case, which doesn't justify the default settings

Use FoxyProxy and create rules that "whitelist" the sites you're working on

That's a very important question. Are we Peerio's customers or products?

Instantly transferring money around the world with near zero fees is a great example.

I used something similar until 2011 or so. If the site's password is always a function of the master password and the site URL, what do you do when a site was breached and you need to change its password? What if the site changes URL (

Many sites avoid going all https because of the - sometimes alleged, sometimes real - performance loss.

I'm devastated that it doesn't (and apparently, never will) work with Lollipop.

In this case, the metadata (who is talking to who, and when) may be more valuable than the messages' contents.

This is really huge, WhatsApp has incredible market penetration in lots of countries. Almost every smartphone user in Brazil uses WhatsApp, and businesses of all kinds (eg. radio stations, pizza deliveries and drug stores) have a WhatsApp n

I had already regretted upgrading to Yosemite (this thing is ugly ), but this is the last drop: I'm going back to Mavericks.

OTOH, the alternative to ad-supported content is paying directly for the content you want to read, which is even worse from a privacy POV because publishers will know exactly who you are instead of only knowing which "demographic"

I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't bought Xamarin yet. Mono being a first-class citizen (with an appropriate license) would do wonders to attract Java and non-MS developers to .Net - myself included.

Dropbox's strength is the simple and consistent GUI that's available in all platforms (desktop, mobile and web). I've moved to SpiderOak and it works perfectly for me, but it's not a UI I would recommend to my mother.

I wrote an email to the HPC-SSH team and got the following response: > I'm at a conference this week so I'll make the license more clear next week in the repo. Basically, it's a very lax bsd style license. Maintain attribu
