> All donations are exactly $150, every time This is common with this kind of service, it’s simply a recurring payment.

You are an extreme outlier, Apple is not going to risk their reputation fingerprinting users just so they can track you. If you truly have a request like this, send an email to the person in the executive team responsible for Apple accounts

Twitter spent a billion a year running their service, surely a lot of that can be shaved off but I think it’s a bit simplistic to think people can just run a comparable service for free.

Obviously Amazon knows what you search for on Amazon. But they probably also track what you type into the search field, even if you then delete it and never actually perform the search and even if you turn off the suggestions. Just like whe

If you do that, you lose all your apps and settings. Ergo, nobody does that. If you switch phones, you transfer the account. Also, Apple tracking what you do in their App Store is perhaps not very nice but doesn’t affect anyone in any detec

Many sites, probably including Google Search, also monitor where you move your mouse cursor, even if you’re not clicking. A lot less reasonable and more surprising.

Also Apple doesn’t have any incentive to ‘fingerprint’ App Store users because they are either logged in or using a unique identifier.

Hate to break it to you but a few years after Apple made this daring move, almost all Android manufacturers have followed suit.

Clearly Apple is not rolling out new features in old operating systems. Unless they found some critical bug, which would probably be on the news, why would they update APFS in an old operating system?

The question is, what is Twitter verifying when you get the checkmark? I don’t see what they can verify if your usercode happens to be marc1986.

If Facebook messes up WhatsApp people will move to Snapchat instead, the groups, the network and the momentum already exist. People really aren’t going to leave iOS for WhatsApp. That would never happen though because Facebook has enough pr

Yes it could be slower, but it’s very unlikely to actually break the application.

No to mention adding an index is practically without risk, the outcome of queries is the same except probably faster.

No. It’s the echo chamber that leads you to believe all content that disagrees with the echo chamber is crap.

Sudo is a security boundary, it has to be rock solid and an issue that doesn’t immediately look exploitable is still a big deal. Sudo runs under the control of the attacker, it’s playing with fire!

Same happened to me. Did they keep sending emails you need to agree to their new terms of service and to refuse you need to agree to their new terms?

Yes, it would, because at the start no one would be supporting it so no one would be able to connect. So it would have broken the entire internets ability to connect to you. And remember, as a user, you don’t just use one DNS server that yo

So it would have broken the whole internet for anyone using a UTF-8 domain name and this system would be adopted by no one. It’s like IPv6, using IPv6 doesn’t break anything for anyone not using it. It’s just that if you use ipv6, you can’t

Sounds like it’s a built in, automatically installed app like Mail that comes with iOS 16.2 and can be removed. If you then want it back it can be reinstalled from the store.

In typical Microsoft fashion it has enough to check the box but not enough to actually be useful. Does it generate diffs/patches that ultimately can be used to reconstruct the document? Can I take a document and apply a patch and get e

Well I don’t know what the mainstream theory was in the US but in the Netherlands it was ‘well if due to our lockdowns R is smaller than 1 the disease will just die down’. Which is obviously nonsensical in a pandemic.

by tinus_hn 4y ago
Ah, clinging to the old fantasy of ‘low R values’, as if somehow that will cause the pandemic to disappear. In reality that outcome will online happen when there are exactly 0 cases left, both in humans and animals, in any country in the wo

The significance is that even though you can port a number from provider 1 to provider 2 and then port it again from provider 2 to provider 3, practically the number remains at provider 1 who forwards it first to provider 2 and later to pro

by tinus_hn 4y ago
That is the same thing. Practically the original provider has to offer a service where they forward your number to a new carrier. But that doesn’t mean the customer has some kind of ownership like claim to the number.
