Well, you'd also keep your security cameras on when going on vacation, it's just that covid is a lot more painful than a vacation.

In reality though, this is a single tweet without any context or follow-up. You have absolutely no clue what happened. You don't even know if they clicked the "recover account" link before tweeting.

Yeah, I always think this when this stuff gets posted here and people go "oh my god, I *wish" I could pay Google for support". You can, it's not very expensive and you get a phone number you can call if there's any

I wonder if this kind of tech will ruin the stock photo industry - all it takes is a recreation of a model like this with a completely open license and someone willing to host it. "Type what you want to see and get a drawing of it"

They're auto-generated on every article, and are a guaranteed ad impression - basically no downsides. People seem to enjoy getting their info spoonfed in slow videos nowadays(not like I'm any better, kept watching till the end as

If you'd have any clue of the games industry, you wouldn't be saying this. AAA publishers are pushing heavily for this since it makes piracy and hacking obsolete and they always get what they want - there's no way that this i

Companies also want their employees to be as productive as possible, which are likely already using Chrome at home because it has the best usability and quality of life for non-technical users. I don't think any IT department worth the

Maybe you haven't checked this since 2013: https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share This statistic is not without reason. Chrome still has considerable usability and security advantages, especially for non-techn

And with most RE software(especially the mentioned inaccessible interactive disassembling tool) you'll get that by default, waiting for a 70mb binary to analyze isn't fun :)

Valve only recently implemented a semi Discord-clone(with way better quality voice chat, give it a try some time if you haven't yet). Their chat system has been famously bad and mostly unchanged since the early 2010's, and only ve

If you have any experience with the Signal GitHub projects, you'd know that you're lucky to even get a reply. They seem to strictly follow their own agenda. If they don't think something is important, it won't be taken c

You can make good Electron apps if you care enough. Electron is decidedly not why Signal Desktop is terrible, it's just a contributing factor.

Signal Desktop is a travesty. Their design causes it to be incredibly slow, to miss messages, to have them arrive out of order - and that's not even acknowledging the usability downfalls. They really need to do better. I hope they can

Surprised to see a "glossy" style logo in there. That style has been pretty much gone since, what, 2014? Reminded me of an interesting video essay on how "flat" styles came to be and why they're (probably) here to s

Germany has this for ID cards and passports, albeit via NFC, it's just not very widely used yet. I actually thought that this is an European standard as I seem to remember seeing it used in other airports in Europe, but it's been

Because most of the "positive advances" they make are a direct consequence of their inhumane government that can afford to do whatever it wants or just plain PR. Just look at their COVID response, for example. Of course it's

I've experienced a lot of the same. I think the main cause for this is that WhatsApp still just works for most everyone, especially non-technical people - it's still a great product with many features, there's no settings you
