The analog loophole is the idea that I can always just use a camera and/or a microphone to record any content I want to pirate, rather than rip the original exact digital bits. The reason why this resulted in low quality results in the

But plastic easily scratches? The real question is why it is plastic over glass instead of plastic under glass. Though, I'm kind of thinking they might have realized this could happen and so wanted to safety of the plastic in front of

While I clearly generally do agree with you--this is why I have that second paragraph about pervasive DRM being the enemy here--and have spent much of my life fighting DRM in various ways, I will at least try to offer you a ray of hope: bui

You actually can pass certificates in files on disk to Apple's codesign utility, it just involves understanding .keychain files. Also, while this only sometimes helps, it is worth looking for more error information in dmesg as that is

I mean, if WhatsApp said this about the privacy of messages, Signal would be running billboard ads about how they don't care about privacy and look at how much better Signal is, right? This is the company that goes out of their way to

That study itself shows mixed results and tradeoffs, and so I think saying it is about regular users vs. power users does this a dis-justice... they didn't even find an effect for leading (which is what most people seem to want to mani

I honestly don't see that? If it drops inputs, you can't have confidence in your input; but, if it is merely slow to process them, then you don't lose confidence. If you know for sure that something will happen--and even that

This is where IPFS can shine, as (if you don't use the very-optional IPNS) you are browsing directly to a fixed hash that your browser could (it doesn't, but this is trivially fixable) verify; it thereby exists in a space between

That really isn't sufficient here, as you are lying to the people who are putting their trust in you: a reviewer who is claiming to protect users from scams who won't even put in the token effort to learn what LastPass is before a

Something actively dropping inputs is an entirely different category of problem than it merely being slow to process them.

I believe the premise is that Microsoft--the employees and management or whatever: the entity, not the ecosystem or the users--exists in an echo chamber... as in, they keep thinking their users want stuff but their users actually don't

Just because it doesn't cost that much to use the model vs. to train the model doesn't mean it isn't still quite a bit more expensive per query than a keyword search.

I am expecting the reviewer to spend a moment at least searching their own store for LastPass, in addition to searching Google and checking the credibility of the submitter. Why, pray tell, do you think the reviewer even deserves to exist i

This article purports to be a defense of moderators against people who complain about rules not being specific enough, but I think it is equally valid to shove this argument in the face of a moderator who points at a rule and shows you the

If you aren't putting the effort in to verify anything or doing enough research to even like, see if there is an existing app or that this app is related to the real website, then you simply can't claim--as Apple does--to be scree

No: the real problem is people like you who would rather defend Apple's anticompetitive practices--leaving Apple (or, at best, an oligopoly formed by Apple/Google) their own world dominance which I guess you just want to ignore fo

by saurik 3y ago
Google managing to use their search monopoly to win a browser monopoly isn't a reason to let Apple continue its own anticompetitive practices as some kind of crazy check-and-balance: it is a reason to ALSO break apart Google.

I feel like maybe they didn't read the article and misinterpreted the double-negative in the headline.

(Your comment reads to me as having a tone of disagreement, yet you seem to just be providing further evidence of the point: we are confident that this is the case as Microsoft is actively trying -- if failing due to some of the other thing

Yeah: when I see "mail-in rebate" I just think "low-key scam". It also now tells me the "real price" of the product is cheaper, and so I feel screwed if I don't intend to put in the effort to deal with the

Can you explain how this is a "technical solution to a political problem"? I totally buy that it might be a politically incorrect move, but Apple, at least, already screws Adobe over constantly... it doesn't even have to be o
