It is basically a SIP (a widely used VoIP standard) inside of IPSec (a type of VPN, and also a common standard). The IPSec credentials are provided by your
your SIM card and that makes it about as secure as cellular.
I guess the current situation could be better if Opera and Brave coordinated among themselves a shared codebase for a patch that would allow both of them to keep v2 working. The thing is that Brave most likely doesn't actually care, they've a built in adblocker so if v2 goes away then their marketshare will increase. Opera can't do it alone because, well it is the Opera Chinese owned company after all.
I was really hopping that Microsoft would take on this, think about it, from a strategic PoV if Edge kept v2 and advertised it they could just snatch a big chunk of users from Google.
Yeah, that's great, however, where's ONE browser with a 3rd party engine? No Chrome, no Firefox, no Brave... So much talk, years and years and now that Apple was forced into making it available there's not a single browser using it.
It's not "my hardware" it is that everyone talks about Linux desktop yet nobody puts any effort into going into the tablet market that is where Linux can have a real advantage (because ARM + full desktop OS experience) and get a large user base.
Instead of wasting time on supporting bullshit hardware that almost nobody owns and will be forgotten in about 6 months, what about placing some effort into real hardware that real people want to use like tablets? Fucks sake.
Update: just to make it clear, I own no hardware of that type, it’s not “doesn't work on my hardware” type of situation. It is that everyone likes to talks about Linux desktop (including Canonical) yet nobody puts any effort into going into the tablet market that is where Linux can have a real advantage (because ARM + full desktop OS experience) and get a real user base.
No, that’s a myth. Registry edits may revert in some cases yes, but group policy is different as it designed exactly to configure machines in a stable way.
Group policy may be beyond the general skill level, which makes the constant Linux suggestions even more laughable.
Ahaha yeah, I've said that SO MANY times. People have issues setting a few toggles on a point-and-click UI but then it is okay to suddenly move to a entirely different OS that most likely won't have the software they're used to and requires terminal skills to deal with most things. Laughable indeed.
Windows 10 is near EoL, however that's for Home/Pro/Enterprise versions, you can move to one of those for more time:
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC - 2027
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC - 2032
To be fair I don't really believe that Microsoft will kill it when they say they will. And even if they do it, porting security updates from those LTSC versions into the regular ones might be doable.
There’s encryption and it is managed by the SIM.
