They don't actually "prevent phishing" per se, they just make it ineffective. Users can still get phished if they use a hardware or software 2FA. The thing is, if you fall victim to a phishing attack, the attacker may steal y

What is the "file system permission" you are referring to? See: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.per... If you don't mind sharing, what app are you referring to? The file sys

I wouldn't be surprised if lots of them didn't actually use their real name. I know it's illegal but with a few millions nobody will care.

Exactly! Those that were disenchanted by Linux in the past should really give it a try every now and then. If the current status doesn't fit your needs, fine! But keep believing in the project. It is constantly improving and what may b

I agree with your point about the producers being talented and most times the driving force behind these hits. What really isn't that clear with these songs, and I believe that's why so many people dislike them (altough they agree

Awesome! thanks for this. This is what I meant. It seems that this NYT journalist is releasing a series on this. Really cool.

I agree completely, but what you say about my comment does not reflect the spirit of it, I'm sure I expressed myself wrongly. I understand, because it may seem that I'm criticizing pop music/artists when I'm really not.

What goes behind the process of creating a hit is something that fascinates me, but, something I never had the time to really research. Also, I've always been kinda bipolar on this subject; sometimes I'm 100% convinced that most p

x220 user myself, great little machine. Hard to break. I upgraded the disk, 16 GB RAM and new battery. I once dissassembled it completely to replace the CPU thermal paste and was surprised by how easy it was. Now I'm confident that wha

I agree that this is not the core issue in this post, and we shouldn't turn this into the classic Mac vs. non Mac that leads nowhere, more so when there is a guy/girl who actually volunteered to fix the driver issues. I reacted to

Exactly it is incorrect to jump to the conlusion that they are using a keylogger. I mean, they're loading a JS library that allows to handle keypress events; but if you talk about a keylogger everyone assumes that they're stealing

Good point, the multi-dimension thing is something that I haven't even consider when thinking about this. I'm sure there are some benefits to the workflow if you take advantange of the multi-touch gestures. In that aspect, a regul

Yes, I think using one of those instead of an external mouse is a good idea. In my case I find a regular mouse more comfortable than ANY touchpad. What about precision? do you think that the touchpad is more precise than a good mouse on a g

Most of the regular (as in non-tech) people I know even though they like Macs (because they are beautiful) don't buy them (even if they have the money) because they don't think they're worth it. The people that do buy them ar

Most of the time in a desk, I do travel a lot though. And when I'm using my laptop on my lap, I use the clitoris-like trackpoint, which I think it's terrible but I can work just fine with it. I also have a Dell XPS and the touchpa

Reading this thread makes me wonder if I live in the same universe as HN. I'm amazed at the level of exquisiteness of the requirements of the HN crowd. I mean, I've been using computers all my life and used almost every Linux, Win

Of course, one should be careful about what one installs on their system. Even more so an Arch user, which should be technical saavy in the first place. Anyways, I know I don't manually review everything I install on my system, I trust

I completely agree. But from my experience, there are actually a lot of users that really like Windows. In a corporate environment it works really well, and that's a good reason to appreciate it. And the fact that CIO/CTOs are not

I think it's hard for another company to win over current Macbook users. Maybe they lost a couple with the whole keyboard fiasco but they will fix it, they're not stupid. Also, Windows 10 is a really great operating system and the
