    It worked perfectly well. It still works. Companies can transfer the data and no one gets sued. Legal enough.

    It doesn't support syncing properly, if you use it on desktop + Android + iOS you have to trust three different app vendors, browser integration isn't nearly as good as 1Password, …

    Bitwarden is subscription-based too. Or are you on the free tier with almost no features?

    They had massive problems with their main database cluster (MySQL). If you read through their engineering blog, most of the outages were related to their growth and the main databa…

    It's funny you say that because kids today don't really have files either, since all the content is confined in apps.

    And that's why we shouldn't fix bugs anymore? https://xkcd.com/1172/ Fixing this would only affect users who send emails "from" other users email addresses, basically users who com…

    That's not true. SPF and DKIM were explicitly made to prevent email forging by authenticating the server, and the server is responsible for authenticating the user. Please name eve…

    No, they don't do that check, that is the problem.

    Comment #30230266

    As others said, DKIM always includes "from". And almost none of the emails I get are S/MIME or PGP signed. Like you said: SPF and DMARC only authenticate the server. It's up to the…

    AFAIK they still refuse to acknowledge the problem. But since they deleted the forum thread, how would I know. What they said in the forum doesn't make much sense. Yes, anyone in t…

    Be aware that Mailbox.org allows any user to send emails as ("from") any other user via SMTP and these emails will look legit since they pass SPF and DKIM checks. Many consider thi…

    But what alternatives are there? I just need a solution for the usual stuff: mail, contacts, calendar, notes, tasks, files and meetings. Microsoft? Haha, hell no (they never did fr…

    According to statista, the UK has about 14 million residents younger than 20 years, so they're just counting everyone as a potential victim. https://www.statista.com/statistics/281…

    Maybe deliver high quality results for adblock users only. Lower server costs for adblock users while maximizing ad-revenue for users without adblock. Win-win.

    You can set your own passphrase in sync settings. This will enable end-to-end encryption and Google won't be able to read your synced data (not just passwords but also history and …

    I didn't mean to insult you. I think it's great if you're experimenting and I fully support that. It's just that the headline set high expectations and the article reads like this …

    Most major public (non-ISP) DNS resolvers support DNS-over-TLS today. (This includes Google, Cloudflare and Quad9.) The problem for the ISP is that switching to those resolvers wou…
