These kinds of things never happen to me, could it be because I have all the tracking stuff disabled?? /s

They literally said the issue was an unintentional bug and then fixed it. How is that damage control?

I think they only do if you agreed to the privacy policy

Very much unrelated but I recently read samsung’s smart monitor/tv privacy policy and it says they can record EVERYTHING you do on it and devices connected to it including programs or games you use and you can’t opt out of this short of foregoing smart features (except screen casting) altogether. There’s also an option (that doesn’t look optional in their ui) that lets them automatically process that data.

I’d heard those things were ridiculous but didn’t imagine this much

Is there was such a pdf, your government already received it. You writing in your own words is unique

Humans can’t see more than 24 fps anyways

That’s not what the article says?

I don’t understand this comment; are they not supposed to improve?

Maybe it’s just me but for 4k60fps h.265 video above 20 mbps looks indistinguishable to me unless I pause on a frame side by side to compare. I’m not sure about h.264 but it can’t be too many times worse

So a 4k movie is 100 GB? 2 hour movie would make it 110 mbps. Insane bitrate even for h.254 imo

Clickbait

I see

Why would they pair dnssec with a mandatory blocklist

The equivalent of a 20-30 character random password with numbers and characters is a 7-11 word passphrase. Seeing how passphrase generators default to 4-5 words (equivalent to 11-14 characters) what you did isn’t so bad

Isn’t that how fdroid worked for a long time?

Edit: although it doesn’t make sense to me for play store to do the same without the source code available

Edit 2:

The reason is that they forced new apps AND apps for Android TV to use App Bundles https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle This type of release cannot be installed as it but can be used to generate the apk files. In order to do so, the Play Store has to sign on the fly.

Not buying it. They could let the dev sign evey combination before uploading. They’ll be caching them anyways

The appendices of that post could use a rewrite. They read weird:

An example we’ve discussed before, is at a well-known, prestigious, startup that has a very left-leaning employee base, where everyone got rich, on a discussion about the covid stimulus checks, in a slack discussion, a well meaning progressive employee said that it was pointless because people would just use their stimulus checks to buy stock.

I think it means op didn’t want replies out of their bubble and took that comment personally, hence ‘to each his own’

Or they’re a smug prick

I predict metroid prime 4 will come out in the next 60 days

Even if it’s not more secure it’s extra effort nevertheless. But as you said even without that it still removes an entire vector of attack

Wouldn’t that ban self hosted email period?
