I think the answer is simple - they wanted to Sherlock Java.

Anecdotal but I've noticed Reddit has gotten very ban happy in general in the past year. I actually gave up using it because, perhaps in part because I'm behind a VPN (required in …

My suspicion is that they did it for privacy reasons. Let me give you an example - you have a photo of someone. Should Google give you their facebook profile in the results if you …

Yes but your employer needs to sponsor you for a green card, and they don't really have any incentive to do so (since once you have the green card you don't have to work for them a…

Indeed, the problem is they're just too high priced for the specs they're offering, unless you really, really have to have the Google software.

I do suspect that this is a big part of why the PS5 doesn't include a browser, despite one being available on the PS4. It's a shame really, would love to be able to browse the web …

Probably not - this exploit only works on firmware version 4.03. The latest being 6.0 which any new PS5 is likely to already have installed.

I suspect it depends on where you live - in the UK at least they're readily available in GAME for example.

keep in mind that GTA V had to run on the PS3 as well. It's a technical marvel that the game worked at all honestly.

Indeed. I've offered them before to people who were borderline - i.e. in the interview they didn't really shine but I wanted to give them a chance to redeem themselves. Goes either…

Will say as well that Brave is much, much better out of the box for privacy than Firefox. Even with uBlock Origin and other privacy-friendly extensions, Firefox doesn't offer much …

I live in the UK and honestly from what I've seen at least nice beer gardens are doing great, and even many of the regular pubs aren't necessarily doing badly. I think people do li…

Main thing is vastly better privacy. Messenger doesn't use E2E encryption and has no options for disappearing chats. Facebook can and do read your messages at will.

I think a big part of it as well is the music that comes in when you're first presented with this scene. I genuinely think this game (which I didn't discover until years later foll…

Thing is I'm not convinced that discord is really any better from a privacy perspective. They still retain all of your messages (including DMs) unencrypted indefinitely with no eas…

To be fair I've found that yandex's reverse image search has declined in quality too. I don't think it's a matter of indexes being purged so much as a deliberate crippling of the s…

Indeed but equally this is something I dislike about Macs - on Windows this software would still work just fine.

Motorola literally sells an Android phone for £200 with 5G. I just don't buy it.

To be fair I've maintained for a while now that the reason Apple uses lightning on the phones is because it's quite frankly much more durable than USB-C.

I think it depends on what your living situation is like as well. Because I live reasonably far out into the suburbs, my home office is a completely separate room, so it's fairly e…

Indeed and it's this utter nonsense that made me finally give in and switch to Windows. Turns out it's nicer than I thought.

Indeed. I'm honestly surprised to read of such poor experiences here because I've honestly found that Windows 10 has given me a lot less grief than macOS has recently.

Indeed - I was a pretty heavy Mac user for years but I genuinely find that Windows gives me less grief lately.

To be fair I have a DSLR that quite clearly takes much, much better photos than my iPhone Xs Max takes (despite what Apple's marketing would have you believe), but in reality I jus…
