The difference with wireless listening vs. charging is that the former doesn’t need close to 2x the power of the cable-bound method and doesn’t destroy the phone’s battery in the process, unlike the latter

Wonder why email as an identifier wasn’t sufficient…

I really miss a somewhat niche forum about a video game I’m playing… but I also don’t find the time to put in the effort of re-creating and moderating it myself here again.

If you have macOS* (Edit: read on, their search engine is cross-platform, my bad duh), they have a browser built on top of the Safari technology (WebKit), but actually even more performant than it, with the extremely, extremely neat feature that they ported most Firefox and Chromium Extension APIs on top of that WebKit tech, meaning you get basically all of the world’s extensions available to you – even Safari ones!

Other than Orion (name of that browser), Kagi is also offering a paid search engine which I have to admit I still haven’t tried out, whoops… I should really get around to doing that, but the thing is, I use duckduckgo, my current primary search engine, only somewhat rarely…

*Supposedly also coming to other platforms sometime in the future. I’m rooting for them!! And planning to buy the Orion+ upgrade, too. They deserve it… I really hope their financing is somewhat stable and secured.

Spotify doesn't allow access to the info for free because it makes it too easy to leave. None of the streaming services do. There are services with access to the info used for switching to other services that you can pay for.

Another EU win. I have literally never seen a paid service for that being advertised. All basic data export should be able to be done for free, and in an interchangeable format between the different services too!

Quantity over quality for them. Very obviously so.

Your understanding is incorrect, I think.

Apple specifically chose to leave it (or some part of the chain, I don’t actually know, not an expert lol) open, otherwise, a project like Asahi Linux would not have had a chance from the getgo.

I might try to read up on it when I find the time whether they still have to rely on something signed by Apple before being able to take over in the boot process.

Sure. Banks should be enforcing that instead of special characters. But the vast majority of people would just choose "football" or "password" as their passwords if they weren't required to do something more complex.

Ironically though, something like

IveLovedUsingFootballAsMyPassword!EverSinceThe1980s.

as a password would be miles ahead of even the most random character combination possible, but which is only 12-20 characters long.

And as an added bonus, the above example is practically guaranteed to have never been used before, in addition to being correct horse battery staple (that is, tremendously easy to remember).

I hate when a website/app in this day and age imposes an absurdly low upper password character limit like 30. (cough looking at you, PayPal, when I re-set my password a few years ago it was freaking 20, not exaggerating).

Shouldn't password length below like 100 (or realistically, any length until it starts crashing the js behind it?) not matter anyways, since it's all salted, peppered and hashed before further processing anyways?

Hottest summer so far – coldest (approximately) for the rest of our lives…

"Werte Kinder"-Niveau

this is pretty disgusting even for Facebook

Not really. I mean, what did you expect from a company that's responsible for manipulation of two major, major elections (one in the US and UK each) as well as a genocide in SEA?

And that's just what's known publicly.

Für die Statistik!
