They mentioned the reason they weren't able to know was because they only kept the logs for a short amount of time.

It's just ridiculous that they had it open for 3 years, didn't have proper metrics so don't know exactly how many were breached, but there estimate was 500,000 and they didn't disclose???

C'mon Google, why'd you have to try and hide this...

Just to add my experience, the demo worked perfectly straight away (Chrome 70 on macOS). Really cool to see this tech, hope it's easy to integrate.

That setting will only appear if you have a 15" with a dedicated GPU. 13" only have "Energy Saving" integrated graphics and don't need the setting

Android 6.0 was the first version to implement permission control. Looks like this guy was running 5.1, so we at least know how Facebook got access to that info.

Doesn't justify it though.

>The infiltration likely lasted more than a year.

Wow, that's pretty significant... How was it only now they caught on?

Re:Spotify files for its IPO on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @04:49PM (#16065544)
I'd argue however that Spotify's song recommendation engine is one of its differentiating factors. I'm always hearing friends rave about how much they love each weeks discovery weekly playlist.
