Most of what I’m reading on rootmy.tv says the vulnerability it exploits has been fixed. So, if one were to keep software up to date on their TV, there is an improbably small chance it can actually be remotely jailbroken — am I reading this

This is exactly how developers of malware want you to behave. Update without really thinking about it. I do wonder how long it will take before an attack is developed by submitting a semi-genuine vulnerability, shortly followed by a ‘fix’ i

The manifesto refers to “working software”. It does not say anything about “okay quality”.

The app settings offer a way to set default browser to the system default (which is what I have selected), as well as a toggle to “Ask me every time” — I have this turned off and never see the pop-up. EDIT: also just tested turning this che

I’m in the UK and use the Gmail app, I don’t ever see this sheet. Is this US-only? I don’t see the sheet for imgur.com either because, well, they’ve blocked access completely for UK users. :shrug:

I thought the law said it’s illegal to post footage of people without their consent if it’s publicly accessible. Which means videos of some random on your driveway or some random in a public place are treated the same, but this depends on w

Yes, that demo. You can clearly see the resize pointer flashing briefly, but the user continues aiming right inside the window. I’m not sure why he’s not stopping when the resize pointer appears. It seems erratic.

by froddd 8mo ago
Indeed, just enough. And the correct resize pointer shows all along the rounded edge, so I agree, this doesn’t seem like the problem it’s made out to be.

I’m referring to the demo in the original article. The mouse pointer moves rather rapidly onto the inside of the window. You can just about see the resize pointer flashing as the user does so. I don’t think I ever attempted to resize a wind

This is absolutely true. The demo in the original article seems quite deceptive in that respect. Nobody would attempt to resize a window by launching their cursor at the corner with great speed as the demo shows. The resize pointer seems to

Just installed it to see if it might be better than AdGuard on memory usage, and now I’m getting constant “Pssst! You forgot to apply some settings” notifications as soon as I leave the app. Clicking it takes me back to the app, where it do

The only part of the API that is free is the passwords API, which would not help for this use case. Every other endpoint requires a subscription. This is very far from “The API is free”. > searching by account wouldn't tell you anyt

Interesting. I would say you’re definitely the minority here, and I would still argue that limiting content width does work better for most. When you say you sometimes enlarge the font, how many words per line do you aim for or end up with,

If a text-heavy website does not constrain the width of its content, what do you tend to resize the browser to? Does it depend on text size? Or other factors?

by froddd 1y ago
Interesting choice of example. I would probably have gone with the PayPal or eBay apps, which (on iOS at least) still refuse to let you select the text from the address you have to send the item you’ve sold to.

The argument that cyclists (implied: all cyclists) ride at full speed on pavement at all times is akin to arguing that cars (implied: all cars) go over the speed limit at all times. It’s daft at best, and utterly outlandish. You should stop

Soya is a bad analogy here. When forests are being destroyed to grow soya, it isn’t primarily soy to feed humans, but to feed cattle/stock to then feed humans. This is an order of magnitude more destructive. Edit: fully agree with the

Roadio is primarily a camera and costs around $265 USD. The Garmin is also a camera and also costs over $300 USD. Neither reports to a central service to map the results for other users.
