Firefox is/was really lacking in WebRTC support for non-P2P use cases - bandwidth estimation support was sub-standard until recently, there is no support for simulcast (multiple vi…

The originating browser is responsible for encoding all the desired quality levels and sending them to the SFU to decide what to forward to the other participants - that is the dif…

Pretty sure they're talking about Cinavia, as the PS3 was one of the most well-known implementors of it.

UK, more than 10 working days consecutively requires director approval according to the written policy, but I can't imagine it ever being denied or enforced (I have never had or he…

By that definition, analyzing compiled native code would be "un-obfuscating". IMO, deobfuscation is a subset of reverse engineering - which at a push I would define as "taking a pr…

It is a shorthand method of casting to a boolean value - C didn't have a true bool type until "recently" (but did have the concept of truthiness, where true is `is not 0`), so many…

Opera is licensed as the embedded browser that powers most set-top boxes.

As the OP said, that is already in iOS - it is just that more and more captive portals are whitelisting the domains it hits to check for a captive portal.

That's already part of the EME standard, implemented in the browser (so as open source as the browser is). https://w3c.github.io/encrypted-media/#clear-key

Not the OP, but in the same situation until I moved: Close-ish to an exchange (so no street cabinet on the line for fibre equipment), no cable coverage (so Virgin is out), out of r…

getUserMedia was killed off for insecure origins quite a while ago in Chrome.

He's getting $170,000, $150k for playing the 5 matches, and $20k for winning match 4.

From hovering over the (?) next to Disabled: > Due to Conficker Sinkholes, the server got listed a few times on blacklists, so I decided to disable the HTTP check

The "LLVM" bit is that it is using the IR JIT compiler that is part of the LLVM suite, which makes it relatively easy to build a high-performance native runtime for a custom langua…

Once you've worn the contacts away you can hardly call them contacts any more (and it's unsurprising they fail regularly). Cashiers will also say that even if they've never seen an…
