I don't know why, but sometimes this is done intentionally. In my (Dutch) city, there is this infuriating piece of road where the bicycle path suddenly gets routed onto the kerb, intentionally mixing bikes and pedestrians. I believe th

If any kind of proof about serious quantum computers comes to light, browsers can force most websites' hand by marking non-PQ ciphers as insecure. Maybe it'll require TLS 1.4/QUIC 2, with no changes but the cipher specificati

Interesting point on the missing admin password, that does pose a slightly higher risk. Though IIRC, at least the Intel Macbooks still support some kind of Target Disk Mode that should also bypass the admin password? I don't know if th

Apple tries to lock down access at the very least. They also patched the vulnerability twice (they restricted Safari for some reason and they also disabled the settings in the new version of Safari). It seems like Apple cares at the very le

MMS is ancient. Ancient enough that my carrier disabled it entirely. Maybe the flip phone UI is shitty, or the carrier hasn't supplied the necessary APN info to the phone, or the phone hasn't been set up to use that APN because of

They can have a paper process still. It's a bit harder, but you can have someone go up to the counter, show some form of ID, sell a season pass with the name on it, and have them show some form of ID when they're not using a smart

I used Home Assistant as a web app for years before deciding to download the companion app instead to give it access to my phone's sensors. I used to care a lot about app designs feeling "native" but when I actually took inve

For some reason, app sizes seem to have exploded, but especially on iPhones. Maybe it's the fact cheap Androids are still being used but I was surprised to find out how many 50MB Android apps were in 200MB iPhone apps. When it took age

Browsers most definitely do allow for notifications if you don't have the site open. I use that feature all the time and it works perfectly. Google Chrome does seem to catch spam sites that abuse notification permissions to send ads, t

The weather app I used sent location data from pretty much everyone who didn't manually go through the effort to opt out to some shady American data broker that got hacked. Most people using the app gave it location permissions because

I think there's quite the performance difference between the S21 Ultra (Snapdragon 888) and the S21 Ultra (Exynos 2100). Qualcomm has optimized libraries for running LLMs on their chips that I don't believe Samsung has bothered wi

Running LLMs is probably the first time I find that the SoC of that generation to lack. Even Google's underpowered Tensor CPUs make a huge difference when it comes to LLM performance. You can check your settings for GPU acceleration, i

The reason you need a GHz core is that modern GIFs stretch the file format to its limits, by doing 30 or even 60fps in extremely-coloured files with resolutions that easily beat the render resolution of 1980s PCs just in a little corner of

There are already a bunch of these. gtkcord (disset) comes to mind for an open-source native client: https://github.com/diamondburned/dissent They seem to be most popular with the open source crowd. I think you could g

The problem with these comparisons is often that the old OS doesn't actually do the same thing modern software does. Smoothly rendering a GIF/mp4/webm in a chat channel will bring that Windows 98 machine to its knees. Even co

Report all received emails as spam, add a filter to get rid of the @domain.com emails, and probably add the entire service to the blacklist so it doesn't happen again. Probably get rid of any paid account on that service one might have

Odido is the cheapest ISP for a reason. They refuse to implement anything that isn't strictly required. Perhaps implementing an Odido tax might actually make Odido care enough to throw the switch on IPv6. They bought 2a02:4240::/3

Every time someone criticises the USA for its atrocities and its ridiculous foreign policies I see this argument, that supposedly most people are supposedly against whatever bad thing is happening right now. Yet, Americans elected Trump, tw

> Is it really that simple to inspect network traffic on an iPhone, namely to get it to trust the user-installed cert? iOS still trusts user-installed certs by default, unlike Android's opt-in model. However, this only applies to ap

Their deception often relies on remote-controlling a PC, modifying a bank balance to show a fake number using basic "inspect element", and convincing the victim that they "accidentally" received a refund that's too

It's a bit hard to poll 4 billion devices, but out of all 4 billion devices I think it's safe to assume that the percentage of users who do care can be rounded up to maybe 1% at most. Developers and enthusiasts are an extreme mino

Must be an iOS thing. On Blink and Gecko the page just scrolls like normal, the warning scrolls with the rest of the page when scrolling down. They still messed up the CSS because the downloads table goes straight beyond the mobile viewport

Does that comparison make sense? You're comparing investments into the national grid with energy prices set by international trade. Power is imported and exported all the time, and the lack of affordable fossil fuels abroad will put pr
