Possibly, but it still might not be possible for Google to provide a means to decline the ToS without issuing an update (which, as has been pointed out, wouldn't be possible to install anyway without accepting the ToS).

That's not always possible. A number of shared hosting services will automatically log IP addresses and do not provide a means to prevent logging. Of course, in that situation an argument could be made that the web host is the data con

I agree that it's a good idea not to rule out paid options just because you have to shell out for them. And certainly, paying for something will encourage you to make the most of it. But I feel that, in a free market economy, there wil

The GDPR applies to all personal data you hold, even archived data. And therefore any associated rights apply to all data you hold, too. Of course, you might have an Overriding Legitimate Interest for that, too. For example, you might be re

When you delete your tweets, then yes, assuming people retweeted using the Retweet button, those retweets are also deleted. Replies are not deleted because those belong to the senders, not you. As for Facebook, it is true that deleting your

Suppose you have a Message_Recipients table in your database with the following columns: message_id, recipient_user_id, deleted. If a particular message has three recipients, then it will have three entries in this table. The 'deleted&

Is there a transcript to go with these slides? A lot of these slides are just still photos, and it's difficult to make any sense of them.

Are the messages stored on your own servers or on the users' own devices? If they're on your servers, it should not be necessary to keep multiple copies of the same message. You could make it so that if the sender deletes a messag

"Accidentally in Code" is the name of the blog. The title of the article is "Creating Success, Together". Anyway, this does provide some food for thought on how to create an effective working environment.

Valve's recent action is in contrast with what they state they are trying to achieve with Steam Direct, i.e. opening up the platform without Valve having to decide which titles to allow or not. Of course, pornographic works were never

uBlock and Adblock Plus are ad blockers. They block advertisements from appearing on the web pages you browse. I am not familiar with Ghostery. Firefox Multi-Account Containers is an extension [0] that allows you to compartmentalise cookies

The purpose of this extension is to isolate Facebook. So yes, when you click a link to Facebook, it will open it in a dedicated Facebook container. It would be counter intuitive if this is how the standard Containers extension worked, but f

Exactly. Eurovision is not related to the European Union. Technically, it doesn't even have anything to do with Europe; Australia have been competing in recent years. Eligibility simply requires the country to have a broadcaster that i

I'm not sure what the EU has to do with anything or why EU countries should be different from any of the other competing countries. I suppose the "partisanship" can be interesting to observe, but considering all the hard work

In my experience, most people only watch the final, so I'm not sure that would make a major difference. And of course, considering how poorly the Big Five perform, it's likely they won't even make it into the final! It would

Except that for countries with lots of neighbours, they're likely to consistently receive 10 or 12 points. Sure, other countries will also receive points, but far fewer, and therefore they are at a disadvantage.

The optimist in me thinks that if browsers started to disallow third party cookies, ReCaptcha might have to adapt to the change and make it easier to solve if third party cookies are blocked. After all, if they didn't, they'd risk

For the video, you'd probably want to do a stream copy, which will retain the original quality and save you from having to potentially wait a long time for it to encode: $ ffmpeg -i input-file.mov -c copy output-file.mp4 This wo

Sort of. However, at that level, if you're in the middle of a game and aren't on track to getting a high score, you're probably going to abandon the game and try again from the beginning. Therefore there'll be a fairly h
