But only if a computer is flying! It can afford to wait until the very last minute -- its reaction time will always be quicker, and it doesn't feel stress or apprehension.

Us humans (forgive me for assuming, but I feel it's safe to do so) always need to do the careful landing.

Thumb? Look again.

Nope, it's just that Apple's face ID uses infrared -- it's probably looking for some sort of heat signature. A fake head wouldn't have that, and thus doesn't fool it.

...what my face looks like? Isn't that already public and not private?

You don't need any plugins at all to do all that. I browse the web with no plugins at all.

Get you a pihole (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpi-hole.net%2F), and do that at the dns level.

Wow -- "hundreds" of users out of a service that has 100's of millions? Is this really newsworthy? There's probably more users of Instagram that lose access to their accounts every day because they forget their passwords.

Blocking people working extra hours? I'd call that a feature, not a bug.

I'll admit it's been a few years since I even used the Mega account I signed up for, but if IIRC, during the setup process there was a part where I had to download my key that would be used for encryption, with the UI notifying me in bold font that "WITHOUT THIS KEY YOU CANNOT DECRYPT YOUR FILES -- WE DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR KEY AND CANNOT ACCESS YOUR FILES".

If this is so, what is the danger to an attacker getting access to Mega's servers?

Did 1) something change with the way Mega was run, or 2) The attackers were somehow grabbing these keys, or 3) I didn't understand how the encryption was working?

Those poor kids. Wine was the thing that nearly made me stop using Linux at all and go back to Windows.

It wasn't until I stopped mucking about with it that I begin to truly enjoy using Ubuntu.

It turns out trying to shoehorn in applications build for another OS onto Linux is not fun!

Because Eratosthenes, that's why :p Give the man some credit.

Seems like on Android it's either on or off: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.google.com%2Fnex...

Nothing about restrictions like you now see on iOS 11+.

You'll be delighted to know that in the years since xprivacy came out, iOS now lets you set a "only use location services while using the app" for each app. Applications have to be able to function with this restriction: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.macrumors.com%2F2017...

Moviepass can try to track my location before and after I'm using the app all it wants to -- it won't work. I don't care if they track it _while_ I'm using the app, of course, since that's how it works.

Absolutely amazing. Really shows you what continuing to support an older API can do. I wonder if there's some really old customer that started using Maps API v1 or something that still uses it, and that's why Google keeps it going?

Also, I think the T-Mobile G1 (called the HTC Dream outside the US) ran Android 1.0. I remember getting one, and using it, and about a month or so later getting the first Android 1.1 update.

Who's this "we?" You're not the target audience for this, nor ever will be. This is for the masses of people who gets their news on Facebook and spend 5+ hours a day there refreshing their feeds. Once they start getting blasted by ads for this thing, they'll start buying them up, especially since someone wearing a VR headset is a perfect captured audience for more ads.

That was the old plan, circa 1950. The new is just one page that says "Keep stalling them until they fall apart, even if it takes 500 years"
