I like Apples devices, but aren't they just as vulnerable to CPU bugs? There's plenty of good reasons to use an iOS device (and some good reasons to avoid one), but I wouldn't think that CPU bug would be a particularly strong

Fair enough, I suppose it depends on how broad your categories are. Personally, I absolutely consider YouTube a video-based social network. You follow people/brands, have at timeline, can contribute comments on what they post, etc. It

I don't think they'd be well served to, in the same way that the main Facebook app isn't merged with Instagram (although they can share some logins/etc). They're targetting different demographics, and are used very

From https://www.omnicoreagency.com/tiktok-statistics/ > 41 percent of TikTok users are aged between 16 and 24. That seems rather youth-heavy when compared to Facebook (Timeline), Twitter, YouTube, Instagram. Nothin

I think it's a clever play. It would help address the spyware concern by moving it to a US company, and give them a better foothold in Social Networking than Linked-in provides. I'd have a few concerns about if MS can keep it grow

The article doesn't show the original context for the photo, but I imagine it's an image of the body after using it, not while the cooler is attached.

They have no reason to. They have a perpetual license to do whatever they want, from back in the Newton days. Even buying arm to stop other people from using the architecture wouldn't benefit them; They could already make their version

I think part of where we went wrong was allowing commercial activity on the Internet in the first place.

Then we can agree the FB sdk should have been better written to avoid this, right?

It seems to me like they're saying "Commercial development for LibreOffice is at serious risk". It may be that all commercially supported development on LibreOffice stops- I'm not sure this would be a terrible thing at t

It's not frequent, but the desired number of times is 0 :) There's been a few times that my camera has activated in a meeting, and shown a black screen because of the cover. My Lenovo Ubuntu machine has cover built into the casing

For me it's not about blackmail, it's about making sure the camera isn't accidentality enabled unexpectedly during a meeting. The worst that would happen is I'd look kinda unprofessional slurping up some noodles, but hav

That's exactly it for me - I'm in a lot of remote meetings, and wouldn't want to be accidentality presenting without expecting to.

Unless your app is designed for browsing Facebook, there's no reason that anything on Facebook's servers should affect if your app works. Many of the apps crashing are using Facebook for a portion of their app, such as one login o

I think the main point of this feature is that it breaks the video out from a window in the existing page. I can then interact with that video separately from the page. I can scroll around on the page, I can open other links. It decouples t

I guess I don't know enough about how WMs work. :( I'm curious how the WM could detect that the a portion of a window is playing video, and break that out into it's own movable window? I'm not sure how you do that withou

I'm not sure I understand what you mean about browser tabs. This pops the video outside of the browser's chrome, so you can drag it wherever you want. They implemented it in Firefox because Firefox is the one detecting and playing

One thought that I had seen elsewhere on this subject really stood out to me. When these phrases are being replaced, their replacements are almost always more descriptive terms for that specific project, and the way those servers interact.

As much as you and I may care about that, for many (most?) people the browser chrome is the most important part. Syncing bookmarks, UI, tab handling etc tend to be bigger pain points for individuals, as opposed to the more dev-focused aspec

I don't know your particular situation, but there are places you can buy bitcoin in cash. At least in the US, this doesn't need a bank account or phone number. Googling suggests you could try https://coinatmradar.com&#x

Perhaps the best way to do this right now may be renting a phone number online. There are services you can pay in btc, which will receive a verification code for you, using a real phone number, rather than a voip number. AFAIK they're

I think Apple is overreaching on this whole thing, but it feels somewhat disingenuous to argue that they did what Apple/Phil asked for. He asked for a basic version that people can use without their service, and instead they implemente

I get where you're coming from, but I think it's indicative of exactly what I don't like about Microsoft's attitude, and part of why I don't use their software. At the end of the day, it's my computer. Not thei

For me, Step 1 is using their Unsubscribe option. If I get another message from them, Step 2 is to setup a mail rule to put everything from their company into the Junk folder.

I've seen people in the past make the mistake of correlating "Enjoyment" with "Higher Engagement", but you want to be really careful there. For example - Flame wars increase engagement, even if people feel drained a
