I wonder why they aren't just using TLS and pinning certificates? I suppose they probably do, but furthermore want to ensure that they control the resolution of other services (e.g. Netflix) for the device.

They may have been embellishing that claim; however, I think what they were getting at is that in some situations using the chargeback mechanism can have wider repercussions. For example: if you are "ripped off" through Steam on a

I wish I could even get my HP ZBook trackpad to function as nicely in Debian as it does on Windows. I probably need to dig in the Xorg settings, but the last two attempts saw me reverting to the defaults + Gnome tweaking, which seems to be

A lot of smart phones? Maybe I'm not a discerning enough Android fanboy, but none of my phones have had removable batteries: * Nexus 4 * Nexus 5 * Nexus 6P * Samsung Galaxy S7 * Samsung Galaxy S9 The only recent phones I was aware of w

The fob for my 2007 Altima with keyless start (not entry) has required at least one battery change since I inherited it and is now complaining that the battery is getting low.

I've had the same thought. Unfortunately at the rate we wipe out other species I don't know that they'll get the chance! But when debating conservation efforts for various species it does seem like there is the possibility th

It's funny isn't it. I guess I don't try hard enough to find productivity-enhancing Vim plugins. I've tried various "Vim enhancement suites" intended to bring a number of useful plugins and had some success, bu

Maybe they will just deal with it as you did: fix it when it becomes a problem.

Hmm, is there a straightforward way to be a bit more careful without detracting from the usefulness? What about a default blacklist of commands with the ability to override it through a config file?

I remember this being a good apple in the past. Is it possible that modern practices of breeding and packing for shipping fitness have caused a decline in the quality?

People change; perhaps they had previously discovered terms in which monetization would be agreeable. Then when that monetization happened, the other party had a change of heart and no longer consented. If done in bad faith I could see that

Very interesting; I presume there is a way to determine the concentration of salts that "great many" represents. Would be interesting to compare with known halotolerant lifeforms' salt tolerance ( https://en.wikiped

Good to point out that iOS developers want a good solid laptop. It is definitely the case though that there are developers who don't/won't do iOS development but want a solid, well-built laptop with good components, good supp

While I understand this sentiment, I think saying that you expect it to be scanning your entire computer is a bit of hyperbole. You expect it to be scanning your temporary internet files? Or DNS cache? Or your personal documents and picture

Because of these issues I abandoned moving my family to G-Suite I had setup and instead use it for forwarding to our free Gmail. Not sure if we're missing out on anything much we would've had from the free tier of G-Suite.

Different strokes. Although, given a long enough period of working through assembly it might break the strongest of wills. I can imagine some people being very excited at setting up tests to ensure compatibility and watching them slowly goi

In Canada it's a semi-popular summer job to do tree planting for forestry companies. After the harvesters roll through and take process the mature trees you're left with a bit of a wasteland. Since the areas are highly managed the

Anecdotally, we ended up with a Nissan Altima with CVT, the first automatic I had driven for years. I loved the CVT with its smooth transitions between gears and no loss of power. When we got rid of our other vehicle with a standard transmi
