You mean except for that 0day exploit kit floating around on github last week right?

You wouldn’t drop a toddler in the cbd and expect them to be fine, why would you expect a device to be any different?

You need to be a parent and stop expecting the people around you to do it for you.

Edit: and there are already device level parental controls.

And from the perspective of who pays the cost.

Probably, but is that service deployed as part of the base operating system or a third party package? Can you remove the service if you deem the crazy service behaviour is unnecessary or too risky for your usecase?

Creating a market by enabling middleman to sell you tickets at a higher price but with a better UX really is something.

You’ve made an unverified assumption and are reacting to it.

No because if they did they’d tell you about it in the first sentence

The dude did a literal Nazi salute on stage. Twice. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to call him a Nazi.

It was a question with an assumed answer which I think is pretty likely. It wasn’t presented as fact.

I think at this point it’s pretty reasonable to assume the worst of email marketers, and I don’t care if you think otherwise :)

So you’re retrospectively assuming consent? Gross.

Sounds like an engineering problem that can be solved, and, more importantly, not my fucking problem.

Many people here are discussing a phase out. Just add an obscure key combo that won’t be triggered via normal use, and leave it there forever.

That’s dangerous. Apple fooled me with the iOS 26 glass theme, it’ll be a while before I install another major update from them. I know many people still on iOS 18. I doubt many of them will update until either Apple fixes their UI/UX or they upgrade to an Android.

hsbauauvhabzb — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 07:00:18 +0000

padding with zeroes to a fixed length and prepending the original length would suffice, but you’d have to have a fixed length of double infinity to account for both the length information and the hash information, and the hash is less efficient than the original information.

Part of me is all for this but I also get the knee jerk reaction of ‘if something is free, you’re the product’

What’s in this for the for profit companies? wouldn’t this cannibalize sales to the demographics that would be buying a cheap prepaid plan if it doesn’t already exist?

Maybe i live less chronically online (but still on my phone) than most, but having spent a few weeks in Japan. I’ll assume prices are similar due to localities, similar-enough cultures and densities. My partner and I shared a 3gb SIM and wifi tethering because of the pricing and lack of need for on demand data (we download movies to our devices when on a high speed networks). I would be fine on 400kpbs while away from hotels and public wifi, and I imagine many tourists will be in the same boat, killing a lucrative segment of the market.

Recently I noticed autosave is not enabled by default on word, I clicked to enable and it prompted me to save to one drive as apparently that’s the only way to enable autosave, a feature which has been around since ~Word 2000.
