I do not know what the case is on all forms, but from more modern registrations, such as for the production company behind The Grand Tour, W Chump and Sons [1], at least for adding directors, residential addresses are hidden away. Additionally, I would love to see any credible examples of abuse from this system, seeing as it has been around for a while.

CS:GO also uses deep learning to automatically put cases into Overwatch, instead of relying on just user reports.

I believe I read somewhere (and it is one of the related articles on the page) that it was the 99-year lease that actually caused Hong Kong to lapse back to Chinese control.

It's called GOTV for CS:GO, fyi.

Basic guide here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/2arae2/how..., might be slightly outdated.

However, the swapping players from spectators would require them to directly connect into the game server, and simply spectate from there. I believe you can set them as coaches to prevent ghosting, as spectating directly from the server doesn't allow setting any sort of delay.

Did you say ~700? Shit, I have way higher memory usage and I'm only 15 tabs open (not that I complain - the overall RAM impact for me is nothing).

Doesn't work on Firefox Desktop for me either. Focus, however, I'm pretty sure uses GeckoView [1][2].

It's embedded CEF, fyi. And I'm fairly certain the new friends UI (which is built using a web stack) isn't Electron, but still just leveraging their existing CEF implementation.

Valve also use HTML/CSS (or some form of it) for their game UIs using Panorama, but this doesn't use any form of web browser from my knowledge.

OK, so... I right clicked, saved-as and then ran the XPI... and that worked. So thank you for that suggestion.

As for the studies image, that's only half of the fix according to the blog post [1], mine is only verification-timestamp, not signing-intermediate-bug.

Thanks for the response!

So,

I click the link. I click "Add", and Mozilla says addon could not be downloaded due to connection failure. Nothing appears in browser console.

Downloading an addon gives me "Download failed. Please check your connection." on the Addons site. In console, I get:

  Events to handle the installation initialized. BigInteger.js:27
  [GA: OFF] sendEvent {"hitType":"event","eventCategory":"AMO Addon Installs Download Failed","eventAction":"addon","eventLabel":"uBlock Origin"} BigInteger.js:27
  Error:

In the studies, I have https://i.imgur.com/fqrd5Jo.png. I enabled it, and have tried setting both first run, and the update interval is set to 21 (to try and force it to update it quickly).

I can report a connection failure while being on a unrestricted connection (University internet in the UK).

Anybody have any hints for someone who tries to install this and gets a connection error?

EDIT: Thanks to HN User gpm for suggesting a possible fix for this [1]. Right-click, save-as the XPI to somewhere on your computer (or use curl, wget or whatever tool of you choice), and then run it within Firefox. That might work (it did in my case).

EDIT 2: Also, interstingly, the blog post does have an update saying "There are a number of work-arounds being discussed in the community. These are not recommended as they may conflict with fixes we are deploying.", so, use at your own caution I guess.

Also discovered by the company he is talking about in the parent comment (Boots).

> Last year China took down Yahoo! too, despite Yahoo's relationship with Alibaba.

I mean, by last year that relationship stopped existing (as Yahoo!'s Ali shares would be with Altaba).

I don't know whether this falls within that, but some people have made iMessage "versions" for Android by using a Mac computer as a bridge.

People have already tested it, and it's not good.

> after some weird things like cancelling a licensing deal with OnePlus suddenly

just to be specific, they licensed the exclusive right to the cyanogen name in india to micromax (while previously licensing the non-exclusive right to oneplus in all regions), who then got an injunction against oneplus selling their devices in india.

That would have been remarkably forward looking.

Also, don't use Chainfire's SuperSU in 2018 regardless. It's owned by some Chinese company that's not very reputable. The current trend is towards Magisk, an open-source root (and systemless /system) modification framework.

I mean, Google are requiring it for all Oreo launch devices, which they all must be after the P release (you can't get certification for Nougat after P releases).

It's at least something that'll work long term.

I'm sure this being posted was a response to the previous link, but looking at the URL of this post, it seems to have been made over a year ago.

I believe you are misremembering: what Valve said within their statement on /r/games is that the DNS entries were being used after the detection of the cheats.

Here's a quotation from Gabe's post:

>VAC checked for the presence of these cheats. If they were detected VAC then checked to see which cheat DRM server was being contacted. This second check was done by looking for a partial match to those (non-web) cheat DRM servers in the DNS cache. If found, then hashes of the matching DNS entries were sent to the VAC servers. The match was double checked on our servers and then that client was marked for a future ban. Less than a tenth of one percent of clients triggered the second check. 570 cheaters are being banned as a result. [1]

It's just the fact that it'll cause there to be "iPhone only" headsets/products, which is just frustrating. I get the problems associated with moving, but they're already making a huge leap with the headphone jack.

Also, I guess, but I'm surprised if they'd go down that path they wouldn't implement some form of it currently, but I guess there's problems there .

And the fact that jack hasn't been replaced by another port, and the fact that Apple insist on Lightning for their mobile devices, while using USB-C ports in their Macs.

I wouldn't say imgur was built as a business. The guy that made it made it as a "gift for reddit" and struggled with hosting for a couple of weeks.
