I did it the other way around. I put this at the start of <body>: <script>document.body.classList.add("hasJS");</script> And the corresponding CSS: .js{display: none;} .hasJS .js{display:

But there isn't that "not learning shit" aspect to it because none of your muscle memory translates between the full-size computer keyboard and the crammed mobile version. And people somehow learned to type on phone keypads b

I honestly never understood why on earth QWERTY became the standard for touchscreen text input. It's a good keyboard layout but only when the keys are physical and large enough that you can type with two hands without looking at the

You can already block 99% of ads on devices you own. I haven't seen an internet ad in ages. I forget that websites have them. That said, I don't think it's appropriate to outlaw all advertising. It should still be allowed i

I was surprised, but at the same time not at all surprised, to find out that they not only reinvent Android UI libraries yearly, but also much lower level parts of their software. (I build Android apps since 2011. I stopped following their

In my university we had a more precise setup for that. It was some sort of weight on a rail at a known incline, and a digital timer with two sensors known distance apart that start and stop it. Yet in my class we still had results as low as

The whole point of anti-cheat is to provide some sort of proof to a game server that your client is unmodified. What would be the server in this case?

And how could that possibly be enforced?

Even if there's an exploitable vulnerability, the exploit has to be delivered to the target system somehow. You don't have much of an opportunity to do that with a device that doesn't have a public IP address. Most likely the

That requirement isn't technical though. It's purely a marketing one. You can still install Windows 11 on a TPM-less machine and, for all intents and purposes, it'll work just fine.

by grishka 2y ago
And? Just, uh, boot without secure boot and patch things until they work again without enforcing code signing? The only way this sort of thing could be possibly partially enforced is by remote attestation for apps that depend on a server

You can't really exploit something when its attack surface is nearly nonexistent, which is the case for most people who use an outdated OS on their personal device, for example.

I'd like to remind you that there are still millions of people around the world using Windows 7 daily. The fact that some software is no longer supported by its developer doesn't mean it stops working somehow, or becomes radioacti

It's the entire industry's idea of security for the last 10 years or so that the company who made the thing is unquestionably more trustworthy than the users themselves.

Mandatory code signing is meaningless without secure boot though, which can't be made mandatory on x86 systems.

Well, I use an Android phone :D But I also never chat over SMS with actual people. It's just not done any more by anyone I know. The last time I sent an SMS was probably several years ago. It's 99.9% various confirmation codes and

That's why I haven't even bothered getting into the atrocity that is modern frontend. I still build stuff mostly like it's 2007. In my projects I don't even have much of a frontend — most of the functionality works wit

> Why don’t they produce 5K/6K monitors that allow for 2x integer scaling? Because 5K panels are probably more expensive to produce than 4K ones, and because that would only benefit Mac users since Windows can do fractional scaling

by grishka 2y ago
Well, in my particular case, I use an M1 Max MBP with a 2K monitor that I already had when I bought the MacBook. The problem with 27" 4K monitors is that you can't have integer scaling on them. If you set the scaling factor to 1x,

That's sure a step in the right direction but it still feels like a very unjustified form of rent-seeking. Ideally it should be possible to distribute an iOS app without paying a single cent to Apple and without any Apple involvement w

Tangentially, what about Apple's "core technology fee" for sideloaded apps? Is it still a thing? If so, will the EU seek to make it illegal?

If it allows anyone to remotely execute arbitrary code on a device without the user's consent, it's called an RCE vulnerability. About as serous as software vulnerabilities go, needs to be patched yesterday. But if it only allow
