>How strong are the keylogging concerns? An effective keylogger needs to either listen to keystrokes passively, or capture then retranslate them. Wouldn't allowing programs to assign hotkeys but not allowing them to emit keyboard ev

In ten years of smartphone ownership, I've never killed a phone with water damage. I've actually never lost one to any damage at all. Waterproofing is a gimmick (to me).

Thanks for the pointer to keepassium - it does look a lot like what I'm after - I'll keep an eye on it!

Yes, this is more or less what I found - a reasonable number of implementations of apps which can read/write a keepass database, but sorely lacking in all the nice bells and whistles features that I like in the Android app.

> the app ecosystem isn't quite as good, but is very very close, It's interesting you say that. I've been looking at de-googling myself and getting off Android, but I cannot find a decent replacement in the App store for m

Yep, at least in the UK. If you want to leverage the cloud as a bank, then there are regulatory requirements to go Multi-cloud - it's not a choice.

I'm still stuck on "Yeah, but I need a credential to authenticate with Vault to get the other credential that I want". Very chicken and egg.

Anyone know if there's a way to get the Oreo "Recent apps" feature back? The new one is fairly terrible in my opinion, it now takes many more swipes to get back to the app I want.

Does anyone know if these things are possible to get working when your daily interaction is with a thin client? My workstation sits in a rack in a server room, and where I work's current policy of 1.7 people to a desk means we all hot

This is great and all, but I just wish they'd fix it so that bluetooth connections don't crash the UI on my phone.

Not prohibited in Europe (at least, not in the UK) - I get them on my LG too.

I guess my best "early" curl memory is finding out, after hacking on Rockbox for two or three years, that the bagder I knew and counted as a respected friend was also the author and principal maintainer of curl too. mind blown :

I really wanted to switch to using KeePassXC instead of the original one, as it's definitely a better user experience for the most part when you're flipping between OSes (Windows 10 and various Linux distros in my case). But my wo

Is anyone else as depressed as me that this is actual news?

I've got a Pixel XL 1st Gen currently, which cost me about £800. I've also got a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort II over ear bluetooth headphones which cost me £300. With such investments, I'd expect to not keep losing the connect

Thank you, clearly I need to read up on this a bit more!

Does anyone have a decent "Explain like I'm five" explanation for their choice of launch site? My (admittedly layman) understanding of rocket launching was the being near the equator was good, because you pick up a tonne of f

From what I understand the "cURL" format of the word is popular mostly with users of the PHP bindings. "curl" is what the project uses, but I'm not sure they really care what other people refer to it as :)

I have a 5520 too, but one I got via the outlet store, and which came with Windows 10, not Ubuntu. I've since partitioned it and have Arch running on it too. Was completely painless, and everything works. Which distro are you having i

Hailo only works (in London at least, no idea if it operates elsewhere), with Tfl licensed "Black cab" drivers. You can't just decided to become one of those - you need to do years of training to pass the test (known as The

Not claiming this is 100% factual, but this YouTube video suggests the mesh thing is real : https://youtu.be/m37z5R2rJ5E And I've seen similar on UK documentaries as well.

The number of "but AirPods are great" comments on this entire thread is hilarious. Not relevant. The article is about Google's phone, not the iPhone. Google have arguably made their BT stack worse in Oreo. Since it got the

Don't they have to use a fine copper grid over the surface of any carbon fibre used in aircraft? Otherwise you get a lightning strike on the wing, and it explodes? Does that help shielding from radiation too?

Because being forced to go to another Android device means you no longer get stock Android. That's why it's annoying. Having used every Nexus device from the One through to my current PixelXL, except for the Nexus 6 which I skippe

I went out shopping a few weekends ago to see what the current offering on laptops looks like. I ended up in an Apple store, and after only a few seconds fiddling with a MacBook, I walked straight back out again. That keyboard is terrible

I was at dinner with Daniel the night before FOSDEM kicked off this year, and he said "I always get asked at some point in the Q&A about whether or not curl has a backdoor in it." The next day, I was due to meet a developer fr

Ditto. Love the Pixel XL I have currently. I've used many BT headsets, and I'm not sold on any of them, because it's yet another thing to charge. I've got my nice Shure earbuds that I've been using for 8 years, and
