No, code 83 occurs when your device doesn't support the level of Widevine DRM used by Disney+.

It's a little bit more complicated. Sure, if you're doing low-level programming I imagine you might run into the Win32 API, but if you're just building typical desktop applications (particularly for newer devices like the Sur

The Win32 API is on life-support. Microsoft will maintain backwards compatibility for legacy apps of course, but learning Win32 for new development doesn't seem like a good investment (unless, of course, you want to get a job maintaini

The Office app actually opens each document in a new activity, meaning you can open a Word document and an Excel sheet and switch between them in the app switcher just fine.

Yeah, that's my assumption as well. It would explain why there's no mention of it in breaking changes, and why being specific about the generics in `SinonStub` fixes the error. Makes me wonder what other unsoundness the compiler i

I'm super excited about this release, but it got off to a rocky start for me. Prior to 3.7, all our tests worked fine, but something in 3.7 changed that caused the type-checker to fail previously valid code. What's worse is that I

Ah so it seems. The webpage for Desktop Bridge says that it features "no malware injection", so I took that to mean it was sandboxed.

It's my understanding that this particular exploit only targeted Windows, but the underlying UAF vulnerability affected all Chrome variants.
280.
by dstaley 7y ago
I wonder if this exploit would be possible if Chrome was packaged using the UWP Desktop Bridge on Windows 10. I doubt the sandbox prevents UAF, but surely it would have prevented executing an EXE file.

Firefox still doesn't render native OS elements like select boxes and right-click menus, so I have little faith overflow scrolling will ever be fixed.

So this is incredibly bizarre. I went back into my history and clicked on the exact entry corresponding to this search query, and the results are now all programming related. The previous first result ("11 Prison Truths, Revealed By A

No, those are a whole separate thing that I wouldn't expect DDG to match the quality of. It's primarily been software development related queries. For example, a few days ago I searched for "react dnd expected to find a valid

I tried switching my phone and computer's default search engine to DDG a few weeks ago, and the quality of programming-related searches was just abysmal compared to Google. Straightforward searches were basically the same results, but

In a nightmarish scenario, I can easily imagine Apple's success killing off Tile. Which would be a shame as I really love my Tiles.

No, this is a reimplementation of basically every major package server. Now, instead of hosting your Ruby gems on rubygems, NPM packages on the NPM registry, and Python packages on PyPI, you can host them directly alongside your source code

That's definitely true, but I suspect that when you filter down to postpaid unlimited data plans (likely the customers with the highest margins), the iPhone's share of the market increases considerably.

by dstaley 7y ago
This is, by far, my biggest concern with this acquisition. In markets where the iPhone is the major revenue driver, what incentive will carriers have to optimize their network for non-iPhone modems? I can easily see the US carriers neglecti

The post doesn't say, so does anyone know if the new React version is also available on the web?

It's certainly not the primary driver. Twitter is built using React Native for Web, which uses a pattern called "Atomic CSS".[1] So it's just a result of the framework they're using. [1] https://github.co

You can blame Google for this. They insist on using VP9 for their 4K videos despite the fact that no Apple hardware supports VP9 decoding. I'm hoping this changes once Apple adds support for AV1.
