I've thought a little about it, but as it won't exactly be trivial to implement (internal app states will depend on specific files with specific contents existing at specific paths, and so on) it's not on top of my TODO-list,

I'm currently working on a macOS application that allows users to save and load their working context, by which I mean sets of open applications and their internal states. It has helped me reduce information overload, and allowed me to

The only way this would violate the DMCA is if you pirated the operating system.

You may violate Apple's EULA by running macOS on non-Apple hardware, but it's not illegal (it's not a criminal offence).

I've used Qt and wxWidgets[1], and found them both great. They both also have bindings for many languages, and it certainly doesn't take fifty lines to create a dialog with a button using any of them. [0]: https://www.q

Well, it brings the usual web security issues to the desktop, dragging with it much of the browsers' attack surface. Also, there's been a bunch of CVE – there's one [0] in particular that springs to mind. Accessibility

Heck yes. I still don't get how so many creators of apps justify choosing Electron to themselves, what with all the downsides (resource usage, power consumption, accessibility, security, and so on). Another GUI-framework I've enjo

I don't think you should be afraid of linking to your book. For anyone interested, it's "Bug Hunting for Penetration Testers" [0], and seems pretty good. Also: Packt Publishing has a 5$/5€ sale right now. [0]: http

What am I missing? They replaced Muon (their Electron-fork) with straight Chromium. Brave is now 22% faster than it used to be, if I read TFA correctly.

Can you recommend any specific RTL-SDR dongle?
