I hate to sound so negative but this feels so incredibly cringy. Smug, condescending and pedantic.

I feel that Google's going downhill ever since they started to try reading my mind.

It doesn't. Technically, zero-day in the context of exploits means the exploit was circulating and/or being used before the authors of the attacked piece of software were made aware of the vulnerability (or before the vulnerabilit

Blockout was the first game we had on our 286. So many memories. Thanks.

It was L0pht that was acquired by @stake, not cDc. But there was a lot of overlap.

Why give any weight at all to sports achievement in a university? What's one thing got to do with the other?

But we can just not sandbox the programs that break inside a sandbox. We don't lose anything we currently have. Meanwhile, more and more programs will start supporting running in a sandbox.

A complete prohibition only reduced those by resp 30% and 10-20%? And you call that "not a failure" when speaking about such a hyperinvasive measure?

I did not mean to say that "real" fans must buy physical media. Just that there are plenty of them out there who do.

I've rewritten this comment ten times already and I guess I don't really know what I _want_ to say, but this really irks me the wrong way. What you are describing is not Music (with a capital M) but rather the very similar product

What would you prefer instead of promises? Callbacks?

De Kok, De Cock, De Kock, De Cok, ... All the same. Surname spelling was highly volatile before the French took over.

Using a piece of software is not the same as using an online service. If all those websites are using Flask, that would be the equivalent of centralising on Flask. The opposite of that would be many Flask-compatible yet unrelated other fram

It's impossible for a single point of failure not to be centralised. Otherwise it wouldn't be a _single_ point of failure.

Interesting. I turned off my adblocker out of curiosity but I'm not seeing anything special. Coming from the EU though, maybe that has something to do with it.

Then why would you not block all cookies except for those from Kagi? That is trivial to set up.

by efdee 3y ago
It's a poor user experience because you break it on purpose. Whatever other way they can come up with to permanently identify you, you will block that in the name of privacy and keep complaining.

No, just like Windows Subsystem for Linux doesn't refer to the Linux I have on my Windows Subsystem (whatever that would mean). I don't get the confusion, to be honest. Do you also feel that "Windows driver for HP Deskjet&quo

I downvoted because I feel it's abusing Sakamoto's passing for the personal agenda of the poster. This is far from neutral information, especially the way it is presented.

Very much true. It's almost always a specific type of phishing that tries to get me to enter bank credentials, usually not really serving malware. But you make a good point.

I often click links on phishing mails I get just for fun, and more often than not they result in webpages being blocked by Chrome. Anecdotal, but there you go.

How do you access your passwords on your new iPhone from your old iPhone? Oh, they're stored online? There goes your entire "secure enclave" argument ;-)

There is no difference: neither of those are REST. Calling an URL with an action in the path name (rather than a resource name) is technically not done in REST -- the action is expressed through your HTTP verb. Using GET/POST/DELE

In my experience, you need the old phone to scan something in order to unregister the eSIM. Might be that it depends on the carrier, not sure.
