    Are these defaults part of Skia or Chromium, i.e. will all Skia dependents benefit from this change?

    There used to be a YouTube subscription called Premium Lite which was just ad-free YouTube. I happily paid for that until they shut it down and tried to force the much bigger subsc…

    The first facebook issue that you mention is unrelated to the App Store, it’s an OS restriction. Side loading won’t affect this. Apple can clearly make the OS secure/privacy friend…

    Sweden had a lower or same excess death rates than almost all other European countries [1]. The large death spikes early on in the pandemic can be mostly explained by the fact that…

    C# may fit your needs, depending on what you consider a simple language and easy concurrency. The language doesn’t feature any hard to understand concepts. Concurrency is very good…

    Then it sounds like the person voided the warranty by assembling incorrectly, not by opening it. I’m sure that if people opening their devices, breaking them, and expecting warrant…
