How does this compare to Lightpanda, which appears to be trying to solve the same issue? https://github.com/lightpanda-io/browser (personally super happy to see Chromium-free solut…

I wonder what the equivalent data are for iPhone to Android switchers. It could also be similarly high, suggesting consumers are switching in higher numbers both ways?

If I could only pick one, it would be Dynalist [0]. I know it's essentially just another webapp (with mobile apps) for writing lists, but for some reason is the first one I actuall…

On my third XPS 13 now, each of which came with Windows, but I've been running Linux flawlessly on each since day one. So not sure what the techs would be referring to.

This isn't strictly true. I know in South London that Tesco orders are not "picked from local stores by hand" - they're packed in and dispatched from the same enormous warehouses a…

Not a misprint: https://www.adyen.com/blog/eu-interchange-fees-cap (good summary of the regulation and what it covers)

How does that work if the APK is huge (or bigger than a couple of megs at least)? That doesn't seem very "instant" to me... Is the APK re-arranged perhaps so it can, in effect, "pr…

My assumption is that layouts/graphics are downloaded to the device, but application logic is run remotely. Can't find any confirmation though.

Allegedly it's 256-bit AES and would take thousands of years to brute force. (Allegedly, because of course there's no way for me to easily verify!)

You're correct, it's not going to stop someone who knows exactly what they're doing and has the time/patience/tools to brute force. But it is enough to stop casual thieves from ste…

I use the standard hardware encryption of my SSD (a Samsung 830 in my 2012-era Dell XPS 13), which requires I enter the passphrase when I turn my machine on. Advantages: - OS neutr…

He did put up a good opposition to the other party during that time though.

"Money" being Guardian Money, the section of The Guardian newspaper devoted to money matters that this article belongs to.

During beta testing only binaries are available. Why?! Surely this is the optimum time to provide source code, given the amount of trust one has to place in these things to not los…

It's a Chrome bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=517910...

Dell XPS 13 (2013) - i7, 8GB, 256GB running Fedora. It's been fantastic. The runtime recently went off a cliff to 2-3 hours though so I bought and fitted a new battery - it took al…

In most cases yes. I have a feeling there's a customer somewhere running an old CMS or has a big jungle of HTML documents but not the resources to modify them all accordingly.

As was once explained to me by someone with very close ties to iPlayer, it's because these are the requirements that the production companies of the programmes they broadcast insis…

Projects like this were often started many years ago, back when PHP was the language of choice.

Just what I was after! Thanks :)

I'd like to see a method-neutral version of /get , /post , /patch et al - i.e. one that responds no matter what HTTP method is passed. The response would then include "method": "BL…
