    I don't get why this is such a revelation. Windows 11 is a modified and reskinned Windows 10, which is a modified and reskinned Windows 8, which is a modified and reskinned Windows…

    Despite the consensus of Google from people who know about alternatives or ways to avoid it, Google is still the most mainstream and de-facto search engine in atleast the English s…

    This trick has always come across as a dark pattern to me and seems a bit disingenuous. There's no way it would take that long.

    Can we refrain from memeing a political movement that has resurged in respect to the countless people that have been murdered by police just for their skin colour?

    Well I think Oculus is a no go for a lot of people now, as cheap as they are. What's with the "Good Standing" thing? I've heard people got banned for simply linking their Facebook …

    This is gonna end up with collateral damage of players who want to be vigilantes but will end up getting banned anyway (assuming Valve does anything at all) I've completely ditched…

    So they've essentially done what they have been doing for years. A bit unrelated, but what with the controversy surrounding TikTok and Facebook making a clone making me think the U…

    It's funny, because their website is horrendously broken on mobile. Now, hmm, I wonder what would've fixed that.

    If you're using Firefox there is a tweak you can make to not give sites access to your password.[1] Aside from that, try to avoid using auto fill, just copy the username/email and …

    I have reservations about Apple, but ill never deny that their product engineering for both the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch continue to impress me. Now if only they could get engi…

    I'm a diehard Android user, but you cant deny the benefits of Apple's tightknit ecosystem. Apple is a very "my way or the highway" in their approach to software design. This doesn'…

    I'm a Firefox user, but I don't see myself using Lockwise, it's too lacking in features, not to mention the security caveats of using your browser's password "manager". You're bett…

    I'd have to disagree with you, they showed a wide diverse selection of games, and anyone who expects to love every game in a selection like that frankly has unrealistic standards. …

    I personally agree, but I don't disagree with their advocacy for online privacy and will fully support their endeavours.

    Bitwarden, I moved from lastpass a few months ago. I've no doubt heard people's problems with it, not being as feature packed or suitable for enterprise, but if what you want is a …

    This is ridiculous. Especially since Spotify and Google Podcasts host the same podcasts. I guess you can't really get big as a mobile developer now unless you're already a massive …

    Not necessarily, besides, people are so used to ads nowadays.

    Coming with privacy tools, exploitation of the privilege is bound to take place. It sucks to see it happen, especially to a community I have particularly fond associations with. Le…

    Same here, it's nice having the luxury of being able to view it's source code. LastPass is clunky and always threw errors for me. Hell, even deleting my account threw an error, but…

    I started using LastPass a few years ago and ended up swapping it out for Bitwarden. Some may argue its not as feature rich but holy hell is LastPass a clump of proprietary and clu…
