Re:Epic Games steps up Apple fight with EU antitrust complaint on Wednesday February 17, 2021 @12:03PM (#26168616)
I would like to have an option to install steam on PS5. But if sony were forced to do that, I don't think they can sell it for $499.

Also, like samsung, apple will only be providing like 18 months of updates

Re:I Hate Web Bloat – Please Remove Junk from Your HTML on Monday April 18, 2016 @01:03AM (#11517813)
this bloat is what causing the increased use of adblocking software. If all the websites just displays a few KBs of ads with 2, 3 light trackers, they won't start putting up adblockers.

I use Adblock. And if there is an Adblock disable request, I check whether the site loads fast and whitelist the site. I have a 50Mbps connection. Due to the 1 or 2 slow loading script, it delays the website.

One of the best example I have seen is Facebook instant article. Loads pretty fast and ads in it are good.

Re:Facebook Hidden Friends Vulnerability? on Monday June 02, 2014 @07:20AM (#7832867)
There are certain conditions to be met.

A - Friends Hidden. B - Friends Hidden. A and B are Friends. C - Not friends with A and B.

if C views mutual between A and B, C sees only the list of mutual friends between A and B whose friends lists are open.

i.e. if the list shows D and E.

D - Friends should be viewable to everyone. E - Friends should be viewable to everyone.
