That's not true though, Apple does make the devices, but the user owns them, and therefore has the legal right to install whatever they wish. Apple does not have control over this, as evidenced by the legality ruling of jailbreaking. &

No, historically OS's haven't been linked to hardware like iOS is. Imagine if every time you got a new webcam, you had to buy a new version of Windows. XP was supported for 12 years, iOS 12 was officially discontinued after 1 year

This concept doesn't really work as the OS updates are required to interface with features of the new phones and support features of older phones. This would essentially force users to buy new devices every cycle, or cough up money for

The issue isn't that apple made jailbreaking harder, its that apple shouldn't be the sole controller of what apps people can install on their phone. For example, if you have a company with millions of users and Apple decides you a

IF you're worth way more than you're getting paid, negotiations should be super easy. This is probably a terrible analogy, but think of working like mining diamonds and the employer like selling cut stones. If you mine huge diamon

Exactly this! There is no reason why both laborer and company can't be happy. Work is a mutually beneficial arrangement and as a manager I get to make sure that is true for both parties! I hate when people have the mentality that life,

I disagree with a lot the points in your article. The things you listed as cons with having office "friends" all sound like things no real "friend" would do. I don't generally use social media, so maybe I don't

A real friend would understand if you told them you don't want to do something. As a manager I'm not super interested in making people do things they don't want to do anyways. Obviously its unavoidable sometimes, but I think

I don't think that necessarily true. I am friends with a couple of my direct reports, but we have a distinction between work relationship and personal. When we are at work it is business, they understand my job duties and I am clear wi

So much this. My company just got done shelling out a ton of money for some asshat to tell me that we can't use http on a dev server. <head smashes through desk>

Are you serious? The orginally predicted death number was over 250,000 in Britain. How do you explain the numbers in Sweden which had a much different policy compared UK? Yes Sweden has a higher mortality/million pop rate, but estimate

I meant most likely as in a as to why they do the http to https redirect. I have seen this from several other apps, I don't think its extreme, but my guess is just based on the redirect seeming to be intentional. I should probably have

by restingrobot 6y ago
The http link could theoretically be serving the cert to the device. I'm not sure WHY they would do this, just guessing. However, the redirect makes it seem intentional for whatever reason.

I'm not a valve developer so I can't tell you exactly what is happening, but you most certainly can serve different certificates to browser vs mobile. The apps are using WebViews which are not the same as Chrome and Mobile safari.
82.
by restingrobot 6y ago
It depends on how the app is displaying the link. They could be setting all sorts of cookie info/metadata in the original http request. There are many answers as to why it is accepted. I'm obviously not the developer of the valve

I don't think you understand. There is no such thing as a "self-signed" CA cert, (its one or the other). This not about money, it's about control. There are many benefits to using a self-signed SSL cert over purchasing a

by restingrobot 6y ago
A self signed cert is a a real cert, its just not provided by an CA authority. I guarantee you this http just redirects to an https location, (just tested it on my own device), so there is no plain text transfer. In the mobile industry this

by restingrobot 6y ago
This is most likely not a typo. The redirect from http to http is most likely due to valve using a self signed ssl certificate and not directly exposing it to ATS, (iPhone). If they went directly to the https endpoint the OS would block the

Using code without understanding its implications would fall in the gross incompetence category.

This is a bad point. The difference between using AES-128 and AES-256 from a code standpoint is trivial. The only explanation for this is either gross incompetence or malevolence. Personally I don't use Zoom, nor would I recommend its
