Re:Slack is down on Monday January 04, 2021 @03:17PM (#25637254)
In 2011 a small amount (0.02%) of Gmail users had all their emails deleted due to a bug: https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/02/gmail-back-soon-for-eve... They ended up having to restore them from tape backup, which took several days. Affected users also had all their incoming mail bounce for 20 hours.
Re:Still Why No HTTPS? on Tuesday December 17, 2019 @03:59AM (#21811892)
Weirdly nature.com seems to actually redirect to https, as does zara.com, lenovo.com, genuis.com, and senate.gov. Is this list stale, or did no one spot-check this?

Re:Access Denied to Apple.com on Saturday September 12, 2015 @12:52AM (#10207269)
This is because whois just searches for domains that start with the given argument by default. Try google.com, same result. What you actually want is `whois "domain apple.com"`.

A better example is Netflix, which features movies that are rated NC-17.
Re:Google to Acquire Nest on Monday January 13, 2014 @05:55PM (#7054170)
If Apple bought Nest they would have killed the Android app.
When I just tried disabling it, the images that were displayed after I clicked 'Display Images Below' all still went through the proxy.

Encrypt the files you take with you. For good measure make a full backup and leave it behind with someone you trust.
Re:Google Registry on Monday December 09, 2013 @11:56PM (#6879044)
According to the site[0], .foo is supposed to be for developers, .boo for scary stories, and .soy for spanish autobiographies.

Given how well .me and .info did (can't remember the last time I saw one of those) I can't see this gaining much traction at all.

Re:Fury at Facebook as login requests “Government ID” on Tuesday October 29, 2013 @05:08AM (#6632767)
That's not what happened at all. The link shortener that Obama used was hacked and previously shortened links where redirected. That article says nothing about his Facebook being hacked.
Google Hangouts is a plugin of its own, it does not use or depend on Java.

Re:Google to Encrypt All Keyword Searches on Tuesday September 24, 2013 @05:28PM (#6440885)
While I wish Google would stop doing this, for now there are extensions that will replace the URLs in search results with the actual ones. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/undirect/dohbiijnj...

I can't imagine this working over AirPlay, the latency it introduces is pretty significant (1-2 sec).
