This issue was related to an old macOS optimization called "detached mode" or FSLP (fullscreen low power). There were related bugs in Chrome and Firefox: - https://issues.chromium.…

Not suggesting an alternative model here, but I think that Google et. al (based on my own time working on Chrome) don't take that responsibility quite as seriously as they should. …

This one is ever so slightly smaller at 3.25 x 8.55 x 0.85mm: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TAIYO-YUDEN/EYSHSNZWZ?q... Six of them fit on the face of a dime, which is wild.

Generally speaking yes, they are different. One pattern is that you do something to create a source of audio, and the layer below you starts handing you buffers to fill. With each …

Would it be possible to let you run local models without an account?

I've had an issue with my phone for the past few months that could be solved by erasing it and restoring from backup, but I use Signal a bunch and I'm not currently feeling risky o…

Plus, successful couples are great advocates for the website that introduced them. You lose two customers in the immediate term but gain more as time goes on. (Also OkCupid, 2012-2…

A PDF doesn’t represent a responsive/resizable version of the page so it will look awkward on most screen sizes even if the original would have handled it. A PDF doesn’t capture sc…

Not exactly the raw data, but Twilio has a cheap and easy-to-use API for this: https://www.twilio.com/docs/lookup .

The top-level comment you replied to doesn’t mention malware. In any case, both hardware and software keyloggers exist which would be thwarted by an onscreen keyboard. If I recall …

FYI: I believe this works because it saves the string "false", which is truth-y. You can also use: defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool YES

Not the OP, but this is super cool as a way to measure extensions' performance impact (in a super limited way, admittedly). For me… Chrome 99.0.4844.51: - 1Password + µBlock Origin…

I think what the author's getting at is that the function you pass to JavaScript .sort() just returns a number — not special sentinel values — which represents the relative order o…

You can, but note that as a user you have to open System Preferences and check a checkbox to allow said malware to do this. (Apple locked down the accessibility APIs that let apps …

Yes, exactly. I'm sure there are more elegant answers — plus watching events so that it can hide the window right away instead of running in a loop — but I haven't used the accessi…

I made a very quick hack to deal with this; it should hide the dot. Improvements welcome: https://github.com/s4y/undot EDIT: As far as I know, the best long-term answer here is for…

Apple considers a product "vintage" five years and "obsolete" seven years after the last one is sold: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624

Apple has support statuses for discontinued products which kick in five years ("vintage") and seven years ("obsolete") after the it stops being sold . It's disingenuous for Google …

This loses something important about Keybase sigchains: on Keybase, a sigchain represents an identity and not a single key, which makes it possible to add separate keys for differe…

This is cool! I have some things like this around my house but via a different approach that I'd like to share: each one is just an old-ish e-reader from eBay or Craigslist, a mix …

It would be fascinating if Adobe quietly started selling license keys and offline-friendly software again. They couldn’t sell directly to Venezuela, but software, ah, finds a way.

Yes. Last year, I realized I needed glasses, went through two opticians and three pairs of lenses, still wasn't happy, and finally ended up seeking out an office that could measure…

Does anyone know how this compares to the nRF5x series (and/or other BLE-friendly microcontrollers)?

Extensions should act on behalf of users but, like websites, some don't. A questionable or poorly-maintained extension can do more damage than any single website, and browsers can …

It's worth noting that UAs can treat localhost, 127.0.0.1, etc. as secure even when they're visited over plain HTTP: https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-secure-contexts/#potentially...…
