It’s meant to be configured once and then shipped as a disk image that gets installed on client devices.

Part of it has to do with the different data protection regulations and privacy policies between consumer and business Google accounts. Since very few enterprise customers use consumer smart home products, Google doesn’t want to make a spec

It doesn't allow you to replace the signal strength indicator anymore, unfortunately (you have to check the strength yourself). Although it now supports dark mode!

Isn't 4G a lower frequency than Wi-Fi? So if it works for Wi-Fi, it would definitely work for cellular.

Doesn't libFuzzer only require `extern "C" int LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput(...` to fuzz C++ code? What else does your C wrapper do beyond that? Google puts their fuzz tests right alongside the rest of the Chromium source code, whi

Fuzzing is fun! If you're doing it on your personal computer (as opposed to a cloud VM somewhere), I'd suggest putting the testcase output directory on a spinning-rust hard drive that you don't care about instead of your (pre

It's definitely still true, but the difference is getting smaller as sensor tech improves. My DSLR is a Nikon D80 from 2006. While it's not full-frame, its sensor is much bigger than the one on my iPhone 8, yet my phone works far

How commonly do people need to use swap in the first place? On my current computer, I don't even have a swap partition because I've never gotten close to filling my 16GB, even with a big virtual machine and hundreds of browser tab

You already trust them not to make compromised software updates anyway. While I agree that this is definitely a potential issue, I don’t think it changes the threat model.

Yes. If the FBI had a signed system image that disabled disk encryption, they would have applied it through Recovery mode and the data would not have been lost. They couldn’t get Apple to make or sign the software, however.

Okay. In fact, anyone can do that by restoring a device in Recovery mode.

CMU is definitely "top five" for CS, though (at least in the US, which is mostly where the big tech companies recruit from anyway). And while going to a top school might be an advantage at somewhere like Google, you have good odds

Are you talking about DFU mode? I think it would be very difficult for Apple to remove that without causing a lot of issues for people. Being able to completely reset the device if you forget the password is useful, especially since you sti

The "slow and steady" approach works well for mature or stagnant ecosystems, but only when the packages are small enough that distribution developers can reasonably backport security fixes. That clearly doesn't work with big

I agree with you on everything but the last two sentences. An unprivileged user account still has a ton of power in a modern Unix or Windows system, because the security model doesn't really solve this problem: https://xkcd.

Make an alias that adds ls --hide the same way you do for ls --color.

It's interesting how underrepresented KDE is in the "big distros". While it makes sense that Fedora and Ubuntu ship GNOME, and there are "spins" of each that include different desktops out of the box, it still surpr

It seems like part of Microsoft's goal here was to direct traffic to Edge and Bing at the expense of actual usability. See also: the "help system". Luckily there's a lot of third-party stuff to replace the search feature

ClearType is strange. I've gotten used to the way that my Linux system renders text, which is part of the reason why I like it so much. Using small fonts on macOS is always super blurry, while small fonts on Windows look like bitmap fo

I wonder why this has been such an issue for Microsoft. If I remember correctly, the entire Computer Management program and all of its subcomponents have no functional UI scaling. As pretty as a Retina monitor is, I'm glad that I went

Assuming the "customizers" haven't messed up the sandbox, any Chromium-based browser is well-protected. You can visit chrome://sandbox to see which features are enabled. If you're talking about the new Edge, I

With the iVerify app, I'm suspicious of any claim that it can detect threats. How would such a thing work on iOS? My understanding of the security model is that it makes that sort of thing very difficult.

I think it shows up more frequently for certain mail providers. Maybe you use Exchange or Yahoo or Gmail and someone else uses one of the other ones? That changes quite a bit about how MobileMail works.

It does effectively. With Gmail at least, there's an option to register Chrome as the mailto handler. Anytime you click on a mailto link anywhere on your computer, it will open Chrome to the compose window in Gmail. And Gmail works off

Because the entire advantage of the web from the perspective of the end user (as opposed to desktop applications) is that you can expect it to work the same everywhere. If everything were separated, it wouldn't make a difference, becau
