Maybe it was a UX bug that hampers the experience to the point that where the website is a better experience, and they felt that a bad app would hurt the brand more than no app.

Unfortunately the bot is not very good. Just by reading the rules I was able to beat it every time on multiple rulesets. The matchmaking is also difficult to find a partner since t…

I had to search "developer edition" https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/xps-13-plus-dev...

I've done some translating on YouTube. What it means is if your translation is in draft mode (you're still working on it) on 9/28 it will disappear. The video creator shouldn't nee…

The prescriptions in "If you’re a security conscious user..." make sense to me. If you use a unique password, sms/totp adds very little benefit. However the section for "If you’re …

All the arguments in the post against SMS 2FA are also arguments against TOTP

It's a great judge of "Initial Quality", but a poor judge of "Reliability". When someone says their car is reliable, they mean it hasn't needed service for a decade.

>The J.D. Power US Initial Quality Study, which gauges problems encountered in the first three months of ownership. A very questionable definition of "reliability".

I've tried Dadi and Sppare.me in the past and had good results on the front-end (I haven't retrieved any samples yet). I'm not sure the service could have been improved. What are y…

U2F doesn't protect you from an untrusted machine, it protects you from untrusted websites. https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/157756/mitm-att... The security model relie…

I just enrolled in advanced protection, and was then able to unenroll without 2FA re-auth.... I agree that requiring 2FA re-auth on trusted devices to disable 2FA would be a terrib…

This is kind of neat, but when I think of "HEVC-based image codec" I think of Apple's .heic format. Unfortunately I didn't see a high-level comparison to HEIC on Bellard's site, so…

Complaining about a reproducible issue on a public forum works. Even if you don't get direct feedback, there's a good chance it will get quickly forwarded to an teams' internal mai…

It's not an actual file, it's unmarked in the free space of the first volume. If you mount only the first volume, it will appear normal, and data loss will occur if more space is u…

If the bad behavior is skirting the labor reduction laws, we should get rid of the labor reduction laws to reduce bad behavior? This argument doesn't make sense to me.

It sounds like the employees are foreigners who are probably unfamiliar with the polish legal system, with no income or health insurance as more pressing issues.

If they were submitted in time, but then rejected a day later, it seems like those cases can be resolved by some manual work by collegeboard to convert them

Social security is "slight of hand" too. If you make an average of just $1k/mo before retirement, your SS benefit is $900/month. But if you made 10x ($10k/mo), your SS benefit is o…

Yes, they call them APUs https://www.amd.com/en/processors/athlon-and-a-series An 8-core zen 2 APU is expected https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-ryzen-7-4700g-desktop-...

You could try that. Long term, it should also be possible to route this communication through the internet, or use the Chrome/Firefox/WebExtension NativeMessaging API [0][1]. 0. ht…

That's true, but the data collection doesn't have to be this automated. It's a tradeoff for ease-of-use. Everyone used to use Paypal, right? That doesn't track anything on your sit…

Why do we want to disincentivize career politics? I feel like raising the incentives will improve the ability of the average politician.

Pretty neat! Similarly, I often use Wikipedia to find translations for specific technical terms that aren't in bilingual dictionaries or Google Translate. If you go to a wiki page …
