The Register makes some of the most clickbait titles in the area. The real ones is that Firefox Quantum is finally out for Android (Firefox for Android jumped from version 68.0 to 79.0), and this bought a completely new interface too. Now,

I would concur with you if the latency of e-paper was similar to a LCD screen, but it is not. Typing in the Kindle PW is a really bad experience.

This makes sense since it should avoid two issues: - Sites that try to detect mobile by looking at "ARM" in user-agent string - Sites that try to parse the macOS minor version for some reason and would be confused to see something

Nice. Just discovered that you can open videos from the official YouTube client by using the "Share" menu and selecting NewPipe. It has multiple options, including download/open/open as popup. This make it much more usef

This is how I am using my Raspberry Pi (running Pi-hole) too: overlayFS. It means that I lost the statistics after a reboot, but it also mean that I don't care if the power in the house is suddenly lost either. I also enabled watchdog

The problem is always standards. I want transparency to work correctly everywhere, not just in one application and broken everywhere else. Even if transparency was add to JPEG right now, it would take sometime to become available everywhere

This is a decision of your distro mantainers, they could also default to unbound, dnsmasq, bind, or anything else. They use systemd-resolved because it probably solves some problem for them, even if this problem is reduced burden of mainten

The fact that `KillUserProcess` is default to on is not something that systemd forces to your distro, there is even a flag to disable it at build time. It does makes sense in many situations (like IoT, embedded, etc.), that is why it is on,

Thanks for the article to remember me of the existence of this project. I decided to do a setup in my home network using an old Raspberry Pi 1 that I had. Mainly because the router of my ISP screwed up really hard in its DHCP server, so I d

Almost every distro I know turns this option off by default, including Arch, NixOS and Debian (the last one I am not sure).

Yeah, startup times is something that you don't really notice until you have a system that is really fast and responsive, and them you simply get annoyed by when you're using a system with slow startup times again or get accustome

Apple could simply, you know, provide an API so browsers could query this option and do something useful instead of being anti competitive.

Android is kind of the same: by default, no data connection is made unless you explicitly change the USB mode from charging to something else.

by m45t3r 7y ago
Not really. Android has a similar feature for years and no application can abuse this system since this is all controlled by OS.

All web browsers in iOS run the same engine (Safari). So while Google should fix their layout, this is a very good example on why Apple should allow alternative web engines in their OS.

For security reasons you say? No. I mean, LD_PRELOAD is very useful. I used libfaketime once to debug a problem in a project that I worked that only happened when you run the test suite in a specific range of time. This power is very useful

Well, I concur with the points from the article, since while I don't like Golang as a language I really like its tooling (BTW I am really craving for a more powerful language that compiles to Golang. And specially I like the focus in G

Which is perfectly fine explanation. I mean, it is their programming language, not yours, they can do anything they want. And while Go compiler may not be perfect, it works well enough.

I have high blood pressure, and this is a step at the right direction. Current home devices to measure blood pressure are not really convenient, so I tend to only measure my blood pressure at home. However, this is not what I want. I want a

While the performance of Erlang was not the best between the contenders, I really like the behavior of Erlang here: load makes almost no difference in latency, so while you're serving less clients, you're guarantee to be serving t
