This is not new. This was put in place in 2011. This is why the Kindle app (for example) does not allow you to buy books in the app, and the Amazon app can order physical goods but not downloads. http://www.macrumors.com/201

NES games ran at 60fps progressive (240p). This is a mode in which the CRT does not alter the scanline position each field.

The iPhone 6s, and the Apple Watch, are always listening (if enabled) for "Hey Siri", even on battery.

What you describe is already how the iPhone works. The FBI has vaguely threatened to seek the signing key (not any master encryption key, which doesn't exist) so they can make an operating system that disables software-imposed wipe-o

These were two separate instances of layoffs. The grandparent link is not related to yours (except that both stories involve Disney, and both involve layoffs).

And, the venom is directed at a target (the new ownership) that had no role in the malware bundling, and in fact is diametrically opposed to it and doing everything it can to dismantle it. A company forthrightly saying that something th

I had a very similar experience to you. In an employment contract, I asked for--and got--an amendment to an IP provision to remove wording suggesting that I was performing an IP transfer to any personal work prior to employment not listed i

Watch a broadcast TV signal on an old CRT: The scanlines appear to roll up (or down, depending on how you are trying to perceive them). Hook up an NES to an old CRT and look closely at the screen: The scanlines are absolutely still. (This i

Although I agree with your negative assessment of Flash in general, the quoted bit "You read that correctly... all versions" is meaningless hyperbolic bluster. I would hope a cross-platform product is using a unified codebase to

Yes. getcloak.com is a combination app and subscription VPN service that makes it easy. You can either switch it on, or set it to always on. You can decide which wi-fi networks (or cellular) to "trust" (exception to always-on). Th

The parent comment's explanations and terms match the explanations throughout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence . Is the Wikipedia article all wrong?

Click-to-play can never be a security boundary, and you don't need to know anything about the inner workings of Chrome to know that it isn't a security boundary. Any website can induce you to click somewhere using a psychological

I wanted to reply with a quick note to clarify to those quickly reading this post that it was the flash card maker, not Nintendo, adding the bricking code. Your post is accurate, but to those not already familiar with this incident (such as

I'm a Cloak user. Connect on Demand in iOS has a great design, but unfortunately it's buggy. About once a week, I will catch it not using the VPN (and not blocking traffic nor trying to reconnect). I even connected my iPhone to Ap
