None of what you mentioned is affected since this is a collision attack. They purposely created 2 files with the same hash. Creating a file with the same hash as legit file is a preimage attack and is much more difficult to perform (many or

Blizzard blew it from the moment they started downloading/syncing their games via BitTorrent - using their customers bandwidth to support games that they paid for.

Not if it's over HTTPS, since it guarantees data integrity. Corrupted network bits will cause the connection to fail. If the file is corrupted at the edge server an SRI attribute [1] can detect it, although it's not supported on I

A huge problem with TCP wrt gaming is the default ACK frequency on Windows which is set to 2. This effectively almost doubles the latency of game connections (sending/receiving a lot of time-sensitive small packets). It can be changed

Wow, that sucks. Never had anything like that happen during testing. Sorry about that. I have changed the default safe search setting to Strict.

It will be corrected. Thank you!

Every time you scroll 20+ CPU cores have to hum away and generate previews of websites (assuming they aren't cached already). So it's mostly a server load optimization.

Where did I imply that queries primarily come from my own engine? Right now only 15-20% of them are. Your search was routed through Bing.

I think it works better than text in some types of searches (shopping for example). Distraction isn't really a problem once you've used it for a while. Again, different strokes.

Go to Settings -> Manage search engines -> Other search engines and it should be there.

Thanks. There could be a description on how to set the default search engine as it is a different process on each browser.

I'm afraid not. It's the major differentiator, otherwise it'd be the same as everything else out there.

by fivesigma 10y ago
This is certainly something that will be added.

Agreed, trust is a hard thing to build but you have to start somewhere. I've changed my wording.

There is a low graphics mode in the settings. May I ask what browser/OS you are using? I've tested most combinations and even with the CSS blur it should be snappy.

A homegrown crawler is used but most search results are interspersed with existing search engine results.

by fivesigma 10y ago
That would be me. I thought it would be a cool thing to have - previews of a website before you visit it - so I built it. It does not make money but its monthly cost is minimal at the moment. It is too early to discuss "the agenda&quot

Edit: If you trust Peekier enough, privacy as whole is actually better because you don't even have to click on search results on some occasions, simply because their content is of no interest to you. More information here: https:&#x2F

Well, for one, it shows you a scrollable preview of every website.

I hope this isn't just placebo, but I can see a noticeable increase in performance compared to 1.11. Less typing/autocomplete lag in general. PS: how about some hashes or GPG signatures on the download page, Github people?

Re: the wide gamut display I really really hope there's proper sRGB emulation for those of us who want to make content for the 99.99% of users out there. Edit: not every app is color managed

Here is another metric that measures logic density [1]. At the 10nm process, Intel has a 21% advantage over Samsung using these numbers. [1] https://www.semiwiki.com/forum/content/6160-2016-leading-edg...

Browsers are the new OSes. Everything on them runs on javascript. You do the math.

I wonder if you could cheat natural daylight by using big RGB LED area lights emitting at just the right amount of Kelvin. The aural equivalent ( https://rainymood.com/ ) certainly works for me.

Agreed, an anycast IP should be provided just like that of their resolvers.

@internetofshit will have a field day with this. In all seriousness, this is only going to become worse in the future. Can't wait until the day when smart fridges, toasters and bicycle locks join in on a multi-Tbps attack and break the

Someone should make a blacklist with websites that hijack scrolling. Or an /etc/hosts.
