Even if they do this, I wouldn’t be averse to a less on demand version of youtube. 3rd party apps will let you load a number of videos for later viewing. Would probably help me consume media more responsibly and youtube has to deal with the additional resources needed to serve all the videos I didn’t wind up watching after all.

Thanks for mentioning this. As a current florisboard user I didn’t know I have so much to look forward to!

Made me check for my home state of Utah. But looks like they require a “substantial portion” or 1/3 of content on a site to be porn. source Looks like we all need to get busy posting tits to twitter for the good of the children.

Got the text about the increase and it’s definitely nail in the coffin for me. I’ve confirmed that I don’t need much data even with forgetting to reconnect to wifi.

Strangely found myself tempted towards Helium Mobile since it’s 20 bucks for “unlimited” with 30GB of high speed. But of course it’s a crypto product… I’d been planning to wait til they release a feature to supposedly cryptographically protect against SIM swap attacks here. Assuming it checks out for security I’d consider it a decent extra benefit. Thoughts?

edit: forgot to mention they’re a tmobile mvno. so not exactly completely getting away from them.

As a mormon raised cisgender I used this meme to shutdown a family conversation.

Respectfully I think this is a minimal attack vector in this case due to the limited character set of urls. But thanks for the callout, I didn’t know there was a name for this sort of attack.

As an american who shops and walks my groceries home like a european, the self checkout is the only option for me. I must have the ability to choose where to put products to keep my bags/backpack balanced to my liking and to prevent bags from failing on my walk home. Stranglely in the us, i risk approaching the “self checkout item limit” which is definitely more social expectation than actually enforced by staff.

A more specific question for you: how often do you encounter scales on self checkouts?

This is an interesting piece of kit, though I’m curious who the target market really is? Frankly I would be more comfortable regularly rotating my hardware security key’s password than I would be manually keying in my 2nd factors pin every time I need to use FIDO2 or TOTP. This would almost appear to be an excessive amount of security for me as an infosec professional which honestly makes me suspect it’s targeted towards a paranoid audience. Not that this wouldn’t have it’s applications. As a backup security key to be stored in a secure location this is definitely intriguing, but I can’t imagine using it on a daily basis.

Stupid as it is my biggest complaint is that none of them seem to have amoled dark mode. Been using and enjoying fennec but I really want my perfect blacks back.

Forget the technical details. I work in a corporate security department and if yours finds out what you’re doing there’s high odds they would absolutely hate it. I mean it likely isn’t an issue for org security (assuming they’re using bitlocker appropriately etc.) But not everyone over security is so rational and there are edge case attacks which may even trouble more sensible individuals. Either get permission, expect to do this in secret, or better yet just don’t.
