I remember buying a magazine full of crosswords and similar puzzles when I was in the mood. And when there were sites with unlimited Wordle, I played a few in a row. On the interne…

I seriously don't get the idea behind daily challenges unless you want to keep users hooked to extract some value from them, but that doesn't seem to be the case here, as there are…

With apps like Signal, installed via apk, without going through Google on a de-Googled phone, I receive notifications in real time. What's the point of having all notifications go …

Why can I only play #736? What's up with games nowadays that only give you 1 puzzle per day? IIRC the original Wordle was like that. Is it designed to make you bookmark the URL and…

I haven't dealt with statistics for a while, but what I don't get is why squares specifically? Why not power of 1, or 3, or 4, or anything else? I've seen squares come up a lot in …

I'm at home most of the time, yet I prefer to go to the delivery office to pick up my packages. It's a 5 minute walk, as they're all over the city. Might not work well for big car-…

Would love to see a new player make ECC RAM or even rowhammer-resistant RAM. I'd accept the price increase and the performance penalties for such RAM.

An easy solution - open the package when the delivery person comes or when you pick it up from the delivery office. The delivery person can take a photo and act as a witness. If yo…

I agree with the sandboxing and permissions points, but is that related to the OS not being rooted? This is a genuine question - I'm not trying to make a point here, but to learn. …

I've tested a few microwaves from different manufacturers with my phone a few years ago. I think I looked at some file in my router (OpenWRT), but I can't recall. I got a lot of dr…

Okay, but could you give me some examples? How is Android or iOS more secure than Linux or Qubes?

> Approximately, if the user doesn't have root then there's no way to trick them. So not having root (somehow?) prevents phishing and tricking? That doesn't seem useful or relevant…

Thanks!

So for people who don't plan to roam, what's the point of a SIM card (embedded or not)? Credentials and a few lines of config should be enough. Do the carriers benefit when users u…

1. I've read that rooting breaks Android's security model, but I have yet to find a detailed explanation of how it actually lowers Android's security, especially compared to deskto…

We shouldn't install apps that use the Google Play Integrity or are closed-source in the first place. That's what I do. The issues with GrapheneOS for me are: 1. They don't support…

Are all of these apps only available through Google's Play Store repo, or are any of the available as an apk file directly from the bank's site? For some reason most companies only…
