  • That checks it only for the current session, though. The app might do nefarious things only on new moons, or on a specific date. It might also get updated at any point with completely new code without you noticing.

  • TLDs are a non-tangible arrangement of characters that are defined by a committee at a whim. The countries they are given to have not contributed anything to make them worth more. I don't see how that can be seen as a scam when they don't get free money based on a random decision by someone outside of their country.

  • We had a situation at a shared space here where an OpenWRT client device accidentally somehow managed to announce itself into the network in a way that its v6 local link address (fe80::) got inserted into /etc/resolv.conf as a third DNS option (with the first two being the ones from DHCP) and then served incorrect records when queried. What mechanism is that and were the engineers who designed that feature on drugs? Also, how can I tell my Linux system to not accept such announcements?

  • There was a political decision from management to favor their own AVIF format over JPEG XL. A lot would have to happen before they’d overturn that.

    With the current market share of Chrome-based browsers, there’s no market pressure for them to do anything they don’t want to do.

  • As everyone who watched Fight Club knows, it’s a simple calculation. If the costs of the recall exceed the cost for the expected lawsuits, they don’t do it.

    An OTA update has essentially zero cost, so it’s even easier.

  • Diplomatic immunity is granted by the visited country, not declared by the originating country. They're free to refuse the request for diplomatic immunity (just not simply take the status away once it has been granted).

  • It's not really issues, it's just the overall usability. For example, you can't press F8 to continue while the focus is in the console, you have to grab the mouse and click into the debugger view (also, debugger is a weird name for the source view).

  • The vertical alignment in flexboxes behaves slightly different in Chrome than Firefox. In Chrome, everything is neatly baseline aligned, and in Firefox it's all over the place. Another thing I recently had was that Firefox just refused to load the custom fonts for some weird reason. That one went away by itself after a while.
