This is a problem to a degree even in Messages.app. If a message consists of only a phone number for example, it's very hard to hit the pixel you need to long-press to copy it, otherwise all you get is phone number context like whether

SwiftKey is still the only keyboard that supports fluently typing both Swedish and English without switching layouts in iOS. It is literally the only keyboard I can use, and Microsoft was about to kill it in 2022, thankfully they changed th

I wasn't sure about that so I erred on the side of caution, but I do think that is how it works yes.

Absolutely, but only if that code is running when the user supplies the password. I mentioned this possibility as well.

There's a solution to this problem for the big actors. Bug bounty programs that pay as well or better than the likes of NSO group.

They could create a build with unlock attempts removed, making it possible to brute-force weaker unlock schemes. That's what they didn't want to do because if they created something like that they would lose a lot of customers.

> What am I missing? The fact that this is not how security on iPhones works at all. There are unencrypted partitions of the storage yes, which means the device can boot into iOS without any user password, but the ones containing user da

I guess their OS could defend itself from something like this by actively deleting any potentially compromising customer data as soon as it loses it's connection to the internet. No idea if it does though.

Sounds to me like you're comparing apples to oranges. Input method has nothing to do with why console games only allow adjusting gamma and contrast, that's because on a console the game is already optimised for the exact hardware

Please let this be true! L4D is such an amazing party game!

Uh, it's not like Portal has a lot of inputs, it's basically just movement, jumping, looking around, interaction, and left/right portal. Why would it being controller-friendly be a problem for MnK players?
373.
by rekoil 4y ago
I can imagine that. My personal take is that people who have a good sense of balance can't handle VR when the player moves. Games like Beat Saber get around this by making it feel like the objects are coming at you, rather than you at

Is it possible to scan a repo without authorising your service access to my entire Github account?

> There is absolutely nothing wrong with charging a fee for a service Agreed, but percentage-based fees can quickly become an unfairly large part of payments. I love the idea of this project, but I'd prefer there to be a 5% or X dol

Yeah that must be it. Very unfortunate.

Yup, then you plug in an iPhone with CarPlay gen 2 for the infotainment and you're good to go.

I like that they exist, but I think there are way too many companies competing. I would rather see the EU: 1. require that they cooperate on one app to use to rent them, and require that all scooters in any EU city work with that app

by rekoil 4y ago
Huh, that would be pretty effective I imagine, and sounds like a classic French approach to the problem, low effort, high impact. But wouldn't the rental companies just switch to NFC-scanning? I know most of the bikes in Sweden technic

Hmm, I thought it was illegal in the EU to advertise a shipping date and then change it after the customer has already paid.

Well the apps are better, but that's about it for incentives to use Uber/Bolt.

No it's higher because they've started charging for IPv4 addresses, they don't want to lose their cash cow...

Exactly, there's hundreds of lines of illegible X configuration for every such "just works" setup. There's a difference between "the community has learned to deal with it" and "just works".

Not so much that they don't have the money (they don't, I agree), but the bigger issue is even if they could their margins aren't nearly as good as Apples are.

I have a hard time believing Apple will get away with such a scheme. But time will tell I guess.

What? Isn't she the one most fervently working against increased stock market transparency? I'd say apart from this little quote she's by far the least sane voice at the SEC from what I've seen.

But surely once "sideloading" (I hate that term, we used to just call it "installing"...) is enabled, apps not installed through the App Store will be able to utilise this entitlement?

Over time it will, but not at the speed we saw Chrome take over on desktop back in the days.
