As you are on Mac, Safari is your best choice. It is already optimized for it. I recently switched to it as my main browser, and I doubt I will look back. Sure it is closed-source (although WebKit is open), but you…
I have to disagree. I love consuming content through PDF format, even books, especially when paired with a great PDF reader.
Oh, never knew. Learn something everyday! Regarding the question, I do not know either. I guess a lot of it falls on the user, and not much can be done about that. Perhaps something like Mozilla's recommended extensions…
Interesting, thanks for sharing. I saw a tweet the other day about tricks to get around an app having the same name. Seems to be a somewhat common struggle.
I do not have much experience, with app/extension regulation of course, but I can imagine how it can get extremely difficult. Especially when you have so many users and developers. Even Apple's $99 fee does not prevent…
Even if there are custom ROMs and the like, as gruez said, you will not be receiving updates for other critical parts of the phone. Regardless, those are only community supported, and not from the vendor. I have far…
If you just search for any legitimate extension, you find so much junk. One well-known example: Search for uBlock Origin and you will find a sketchy one name "uBlock." This seems something super easy to fix, but Google…
People love to hate (which seems justified on the surface) on Apple's high prices, but the unparalleled years of support makes it worth it for me. Especially for phones like the SE.
But if you are using iOS, aren’t you already trusting Apple?
GrapheneOS is a de-googled Android and secure.
> Improves performance on certain Mac models when enabling hardware acceleration in GPU-intensive apps such as those used for video conferencing Any info on which specific Mac models this applies to?
That would be nice, and I love the camera LEDs. Also, it is far harder to physically stop a microphone from receiving audio as compared to just slapping something on your camera. Physical barriers are important, as…
Probably has something to do with the domain being similar. That is what is says here too: https://metamask.github.io/eth-phishing-detect/ "This domain was blocked for its similarity to metamask.io, a historical…
Awesome idea! It could be applied to a lot of different websites. Even ones where I'm too lazy to type out the whole URL :p Regardless, having a system where you can base it off a website could definitely be expanded…
Not caring about what other people think is truly freeing. The other important ting to realize is people just don't care most of the time.
I recommend this lecture to everyone I know. Absolutely crucial to watch it and be aware.
Yeah I spent a really long time in the Computer History Museum and would definitely recommend a few hours for it. Extremely interesting
The memory palace technique is amazing and works wonders for me. However, I do mine a little differently where I imagine all the things I have to remember interacting with each other. I will have to try the landmark…
> "What that [making yourself a quiz] forces you to do," Adam says, "is practice retrieving the information, which makes it stickier and easier to find yourself." The same is true for flashcards where it is the process…
