Note that this isn't exactly a problem in Google case. They want to fix cases where a wrong clock can invalidate certificates, so even a skew of a few minutes wouldn't be a problem (in Roughtime specially, they allow a 10 second d

Google Play Music supports HTML5, however I think it works better (i.e. more tested) with Flash or something. So Flash is still the default, while HTML5 is the fallback. And btw, GPM seems to use a similar DRM method as the one supported in

I find it is strange that a supported development plataform for Ubuntu on Ubuntu uses dependencies outside the main repositories (ppa seems fine, however they even use npm directly to download some dependencies). This is a pretty fragile ec

Better than you think. Every other time or so I log in in Gnome Shell in Wayland mode. Thanks to xwayland you can run the majority of X.org applications without much problems in Wayland. The major problem with Wayland nowadays is bugs (I re

AFAIK, Windows has a very defined model for display drivers (WDDM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Display_Driver_Model ) so it should be a matter of implementing the WDDM specification + bugs.

For coincidence, I was searching for articles on how to optimize a SD card for a Raspberry Pi and I find this one. My RPI have a somewhat expensive Sandisk Ultra 32GB microSD card, however even them it was still slow to respond on random I&

And the majority of Android users does not install applications outside from Google Play Store either, and the lastest malwares that appeared for Android are from places outside Google Play Store. So where is the point? If the user jailbrea

I think the use case is similar to Python's os library. You will probably still need to write specific code for specific systems (for example, Windows' paths vs Unix's paths), however it still makes things easier for the prog

Never thought this way, this is actually a great idea. I mean, even if Android runs Androids apps natively, in most cases developers still needs to include Android support library, to provide backwards compatibility with older versions of A

Even Android have a much better security model than your traditional desktop OS. Except if the malware includes a root exploit (in this case, all bets are off), the traditional "malware" in Android is limited to basically what the

In modern processors the bottleneck generally is the IO. While it is not the same think (desktop vs phone processors), this author benchmarks OpenSSL in an algorithm similar that Android uses, with and without AES-NI (Intel HW encryption):

No, encryption in Android 5.0 works really well, really. It is really well designed, not state-of-art like the one in iOS however it is still leaps ahead from any other encryption implementation currently in the industry. Perfomance wise, i

Yep, this is what I think too. The Pocket and Hello case could at least have a disable option, even Google allows you to disable the new features that it brings in Chrome like Google Now and more recently the "Ok Google" hotword d

Makes sense if you know how to configure one, but not everyone knows technology very well, and this is especially true with poor people. This kind of console is popular to this public.

If I remember right you can't buy a Raspberry Pi from the traditional online stores that sell them (they don't send to Brazil), so you need to buy from a reseller. I ordered a Raspberry Pi online from eBay, had to pay US$50,00 tha

A Raspberry Pi costs about R$200 in Brazil, or US$60. And the majority of these consoles are bought by poor people (income of equal or less than a minimum wage in Brazil, that is R$788 or about US$235), that in the majority of cases don&#x2

Actually, Chromebooks should be the most secure laptop platform nowadays, since every Chromebook has signed binaries and to enter in developer mode, you need some kind of switch so you can overwrite your bootloader. Of course, this is assum

I made a similar switch to SublimeText, at least for programming tasks (non-programming tasks I still use vim since it works with just a terminal). Vintageous has a much better vim emulation than Vintage (the default vim plugin to ST), and

Well, the problem is, you only changed the problem. Now instead of depending of a specific init system, you're depending of a specific implementation of daemon() function (which I imagine is not really standard, since if it was glibc w
