   Several reasons. 1. My parents lost money in the Internet. They treat scam messages ("you've been hacked, we have discriminating stuff against you, give us bitcoins and we don't tell anyone") seriously. They wanted to bu

   What should I say to my parents when they enter a website that advertises some kind of diabetes wonder drug and they download some crap and try to run it? That they shouldn't install AV because it potentially opens an attack vector? Do

   How does that answer my question? I would like to know what is the alternative today, not 10 years from now.

   Do you have any official references for this roadmap? There are several comments on this page alone that try to debunk the 'road to microkernel' plan. If you don't have any reference, please edit your comment and insert &#x27

   Why does notarization bother you as a user? It doesn't change how you use the system. Did you had any 32-bit software that don't exist as 64-bit versions?

   So what's the alternative for third party AV vendors? Do you have any suggestion for my parents?

   It's maybe the best for macOS, but it's far from being the best VM software. It's full of ugly bugs, especially when trying to script it and use the 'vmrun' tool. It's expensive and support is nearly nonexisten

    > There is a Polish saying: ‘kto rachuje i oszczędza, nie zajrzy mu w oczy nędza’ (‘he who works and saves, destitution doesn’t threaten’) I don't think this is translated accurately. "Rachuje" is an old word for "cal

    I've released two Flutter apps on Google Play and I don't see Flutter in such pink colors. Every SDK update makes some users change their ratings because the app starts crashing for them, even when I'll make trivial changes.

    Well since you ask: Flutter is good, but it's also buggy. 1. Problem with Cupertino theme on Android - https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/42988#issuecomment... -- only point 1 from this post matte

    Pretty cool; however: - it's not opensource, the github repo contains only binaries, - the main executable binary is encrypted/compressed from some reason, can't be easily checked what it does, - one question that came into

    I regret not knowing that Android API is awful. Then I regret looking into Nativescript, because it was pretty buggy. Then I regret not knowing about Flutter earlier. THEN I regret not knowing that Flutter is pretty buggy as well. Next step

    I'd be happy if alcohol would be classified the same way as drugs. Because that's what it is -- narcotics. But it has so big social allowance that probably it will never happen. From strange reason alcohol is very different than d

    Since DRM is designed to restrict access to content, I'd say that it's doing what it's supposed to do! I'm joking, obviously. I really think that DRM is damaging to the industry. That's why I always buy non-DRM ve

    There are browser plugins like Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey that manage these kind of patches. I'm often removing some "functionality" of a website I visit often (e.g. removing annoying chat boxes) There are also repositories
