Yes, so annoying especially when using source control which is case sensitive.

Because the Firefox looking glass fiasco wasn’t close to the same level and they immediately responded to criticism on the issue.

Meanwhile there is a pattern of behaviour like this from Brave.

It would be six days at max, assuming they managed to steal the certificate immediately after it was issued, otherwise it’s gonna be even less.

Having the certificate doesn’t automatically mean you can change the site, if you have control of the site hosting you likely wouldn’t need to steal the cert anyway.

Stealing the certificate would allow you to run a man in the middle type attack but that’s inevitably going to be very limited in scope. The shorter time limit on the cert reduces that scope even further, which is great.

Since most Let’s Encrypt certs will have an automated renewal process this doesn’t even really change the overhead of setup so I think this move makes a lot of sense.

There are other things certificates can be used for as well of course but I’m just going off your example.

The problem with that approach is that the authentic disc is effectively used as your licence at the moment. There wouldn’t be any effective way to stop piracy with offline zip files

back in the 360/Wii days you could often download and install updates from a disc or USB stick since they still had to be digitally signed anyway.

Not an ideal solution but still no reason why we couldn’t still do that to have offline copies of updates for preservation

There’s really a lot of good value devices out there once you get past the barely functional underpowered cheapo range.

Also though… you spent $250 on a phone just while waiting for your main phone to be repaired?

Yeah same, I remember initially feeling the Outlook integration was extremely clunky, for example, but there’s a big simplicity to being able to grab a recurring meeting link and then just attach it to any meeting regardless of whether it’s rescheduled or has an unusual pattern.

Teams is much more annoying in this regard since it pretty much requires calendar integration for the meeting to work. Trying to set up any new meeting regenerates the meeting link, and it’s maddening. Like just let these two things not be connected if I want.

Sony really screwed over the play after promising Ice Cream Sandwich

Now I’m picturing a pokémart with micro transactions to buy items and I’m glad this doesn’t exist

C# Devkit will do in a pinch but it’s still second class in VS Code compared to languages like TypeScript.

Since MS killed off MonoDevelop and Visual Studio is Windows only, it’ll be good to finally have a free proper C# IDE again on Linux.

I called this out after my first trip to the US, and then I came back to the UK just in time for the coronation weekend. Hahaha we definitely outdid them a bit in terms of flags which shut me right up. Especially working for an American employer for some reason, we went all out with a work do in the UK, union flags galore.

The difference is all our flags went away again straight after the coronation.

In Windows 95, wordpad was still write.exe, is it possible they just renamed it?

The joke still works anyway because the life at the bottom of the ocean would be ignorant of that

No, it’s not just about DRM, currently the storefronts do not guarantee continued access to the content.

For example, Valve can just close your Steam account at their discretion and you would no longer be able to log in or download any of your games

100% and I’m sure you know this too but just to add to your point, I believe the US government spends more money per capita on healthcare than anywhere in Europe, so even under the “Why should I?” lens, the current approach costs individuals more because they have to pay for it in taxes and then also in insurance premiums, copay etc.

It’s not just for the benefit of society as a whole, “you” as an individual would also be financially better off under a socialised system.

Hasn’t been called “.NET Core” since 3.1

Although it’s essentially the subsequent version of core, .NET 5 is the successor to both .NET Core 3.1 and .NET Framework 4.

Since then, it’s just been called .NET 5/6/7/8/…

The router settings, require a password to change whether it’s in family safe mode or not

BDS?

Ah yes. There’s actually quite a lot of jokes that feel more controversial in retrospect but yeah that one’s pretty bad
