In this case you set the anti-phishing code in your account settings (arbitrary string). Then they include it in all email comms (in the top right of the email body). So if you get…

Fair. And I think I know what you're referring to. Yes, they do upload your contact list, but I believe there's a prompt at setup time that allows you to opt out? It might even be …

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe your comment is misguided. The PIN is a security option that prevents a SIM-swapping attacker from registering a new device under your phone …

Curious to hear what's missing. I do some light front-end work (css/react) and have been fully on Firefox for about a year. Haven't looked back.

I have lost responsiveness in both my CMD key and the E key. Apple agreed to replace the front panel of my MBP for free, so at least there's that.

One can only dream. It was so far ahead of its time, and I still consider it superior to any smartwatch out on the market. I have mine from 5 years ago that still works great. We n…

I do a moderate amount of ReactJS dev, and FF has been excellent. I barely noticed the transition from Chrome to FF when it came to my workflows.

I'd keep in mind that cloud providers have well-known IP blocks that can sometimes be rate-limited by various internet sites/services, primarily to combat botting. You might inadve…

This kind of comment indicates how effective the marketing/media kool-aid has been. Having paid very close attention to how both systems work (and having used both iOS and Android …

Pretty sure it's keyed on your email alone. Not sure where you saw anything about passwords.

The infotainment system in my 2017 CX-5 often freezes on cold startup. There is no way to dismiss the "Warning" screen (which takes up the whole screen), even by pressing the "Dism…

I'm using latest stable FF release as my main dev browser. Sourcemaps are supported just fine. For my usecases, I can hardly tell the difference between Chrome devtools and FF devt…

I've been wearing my AirPods at the gym since I bought them (~1.5 years) and haven't had a single issue. And I sweat a lot during my workouts.

To be honest, the top level comment in this chain reads a bit like an attempt at a plug for FoundationDB than a legitimate criticism of Redis. You could s/Redis/ /g

I was hoping to see at least some hints as to why the security of 5G is flawed in its current state. The only argument I seem to parse out of this is what you stated. Note that the…

I don't think that's feasible, to be honest. I'd imagine that you would want to look for evidence of a double spend as that's the most likely goal of a 51% attack. But then the blo…

I think it's just not worth the time. What do you do when you've successfully run a 51% attack? You go on an exchange and double spend the money, which means you have to maintain t…
