You could open the PR and it would also be faster than writing all these comments here about opening a PR.
That's not the point, it is not the author's duty to do that and him pointing out Microsoft's wrongdoing is meaningful at least to me because I will be more cautious if I'm ever being approached in a similar way.
I recently switched from 4a to 8a because google killed 4a's battery with a recent os update. Other than 8a being bigger and heavier I don't notice much difference and I think 9a is going to be the same story.
The idea of client-side "cookies" existed even before CS:GO. I remember in CS:S the server was able to change game variables set on the client. I wrote a script for a CS:S server that would fingerprint a cheater by setting an obscure game variable to a unique value and so being able to identify the player through that even if they had a different steam id and ip. It seemed to work well for a long time for getting rid of the most common cheaters but of course the most commited and capable ones with RE skills will always be ahead of the game.
A bit tangential but is there a service or self hosted solution that would take a list of IPs and then keep scanning them periodically and alert me if any new ports have suddenly open?
I wish there was a huge decision tree covering all possible scenarios for flight delay/cancellation, it is very hard to know exactly whwt to do in such cases.
Carlton City Hotel Singapore, I arrived there in the middle of the night with a printout from booking.com of my (already-paid-for) reservation.
The staff said they don't have my reservation, told them to check booking.com, they replied they do not have access to booking.com, a third party manages that for them which was unavailable at night. In that moment I realized I was putting way too much trust in that website. I was able to pay for a new reservation and later got the booking.com payment refunded. Luckily the hotel was not fully booked...
Similar story here. Some years old IG account, logging in maybe once per month. One day few months ago instagram decided to deactivate my account and wanted my selfie to get it back. I never really used the platform so I'll just stay without.
Is there a way to seamlessly migrate current email address to another email provider and what steps can be taken so that it will be even easier to switch provider next time?
Can anyone explain what role does ASML play in TSMC's advantage over other fabs? Let's say TSMC and other fabs can all source same equipment from ASML, what else exactly does TSMC do better than the others?
I am super scared of accidentally exposing a port to the internet. Is there a service / tool that I could provide with a list of all my public IP machines and it would keep port scanning them periodically, sending me a report of all open ports by email each month and sending me an email each time a new port becomes open to the public internet?
I was able to learn how to use containers quite quickly and some container addons make it very easy to use them. Not so much for profiles, setting up multiple profiles seems very tiresome and honestly whenever I look up how to create multiple profiles I lose interest. Would really love a solution that is as easy to manage and use as containers and allows to control which addons are allowed to load/run.
Edit: Also IIRC multiple profiles cannot be synced across devices through the same firefox account while it is possible with containers
Your point seems to be that the author should not have written the blog post and done a PR instead.
My point is that whatever the authors motives are and whether he did a PR or not, his blogpost was informative to me and has value on its own.
