That's an interesting document, but I think it says "superset" instead of "supernet" (purely because of the context).

I believe the grandparent is referring to Time Machine. Some of its versioning features may have been integrated into iCloud storage as well (not sure).

Not all of them. I believe Microsoft uses a special format for Office documents in OneDrive. (These files are converted to xml when you access them with non-Microsoft software)

Version History already exists in MS Word for documents that are saved in OneDrive with AutoSave.

Even though I don't understand a single word on that page, I immediately recognised that they are using Bootstrap. For whatever reason I didn't expect them to use a western design tool. It's interesting how far Bootstrap is s

I don't see the number exposed in Apple's UI, but I can definitely see it on my bank's website. It's possible that this is an implementation detail and some banks do it without a unique card number...

Anyone who wants to do this: Make sure that you also opt out your virtual card numbers (such as Apple Pay or Android Pay). Also, the opt-out of each number is only honored for FIVE years after which you need to opt-out again.

Thanks for that link. Looks like the infamous "ghost profiles" are officially confirmed now. I wish they would show the ghost profiles as well, but since it's not linked with 100% confidence they are probably not allowing it

It allows you to block the domains of known third-party tracking companies. However, this measure is going to become less effective over time with the increasing usage of first-party tracking.

Keep in mind that Facebook probably has a few unique identifiers from you apart from browser cookies: - Email address - Cell phone number (even if you only used it for 2FA) - Credit card number (if you ever made a donation via Facebook or b

You might not want to disable this completely, because it can be a useful tool to identify data leaks (similar to Troy Hunt's haveibeenpwned.com). My off-Facebook activity had zero entries and I want to keep it that way. If they ever a

My off-facebook activity was empty. That's encouraging, because it looks like my countermeasures have been working: - Fingerprinting resistance in Firefox (privacy.resistFingerprinting = true) - First-party isolation in Firefox (privac

Does anyone know why DirectX 11 is so much better than DirectX 9? Looks like they were using some kind of translation layer that was translating DX9 calls to OpenGL.

Hilariously the pencil can't even be used to switch apps. You need to swipe from the bottom with a finger for that.

I think you can safely add Search, Maps and Android to your list.

I don't use Avast myself (for obvious reasons), but how do they get around HTTPS encryption? Do they install a self-signed root certificate into the OS/browser? Wouldn't that be easily detectable?

Funnily enough Rocket League still uses DirectX 9. Do you ever see them upgrading to anything newer?

by jannes 7y ago
Because they made a commitment when they sold the game to Linux users who bought it for the online multiplayer.

by jannes 7y ago
Sounds a bit strange because the game uses Unreal Engine 3. Doesn't that get you 99% there to supporting those platforms?

Wait, what? I thought the volume buttons on the Apple TV remote were infrared... (while every other button works via Bluetooth) Try covering the little black area at the front of the remote and you’ll see what I mean. At least in my case th

Cringing?? Are you familiar with the MS of the 90s? The stuff that happened on his watch was not much better.

My point was that TypeScript includes ALL of JS (the good and the bad parts). There is not a single feature from JavaScript that TypeScript removes.

Any idea what the copyright situation is on these downloads? The page for Windows XP (Whistler) shows this message: > Microsoft has asserted their copyright status regarding Windows XP. WinWorld respects this and therefore will not host

The logos of the law enforcement agencies probably change every time as well. This one shows the logos of German, English, Irish, Dutch and US law enforcement agencies.

They let you download the .msixbundle file on Github. You can unzip it with 7-zip or some other zip program. And then you can unzip the file CascadiaPackage_x_x64.msix which will give you the WindowsTerminal.exe binary. That should let you

The personnel apparently had an advance warning and took shelter. The Iraq government was informed in advance of the attack on their soil and passed it on to the foreign military stationed in their country.
