Whether it has capabilities here or not, it seems like it would be challenging at a $3500 price point to say "and here's features you get if you buy one for each member of your family". Within an app, the challenge would be i

Final Cut Pro has significant limitations over what can be done on the Mac, which limits their ability to do project sharing between the two platforms. Thats nothing compared to the bash build stages and custom permission setups, third part

You can, but these sorts of setups have historically been bad about evaluating the upstream certicate/CA chain for validity, and for things like proper certificate transparency. This might be something a web extension could do, though.

There's pretty much always implementations, but it is a huge headache when people rely on behavior which is not yet stable. The browsers have started to first ship things behind feature flags, and in Chrome's case also behind &quo

Hmm, many google web features not-so-subtly nudge you to install Chrome. Some outright block usage of anything other than Chrome. This has been going on for well more than a decade. I regularly see small/medium websites which state the

They can’t really do anything because of the massive liabilities GPL v3 opens them up to. My understanding; the license won’t allow them to settle if a third party seeks patent licensing from them over shipped GPL code - they have to ensure
