Those kernel mode drivers operated in a way that would not bring down the entire system if they crashed
Sure, but my question still stands - would this have happened if the EU had not made that ruling?

Unfortunately this installs it as a user cert and only works for app that explicitly request it. To work everywhere you need to install it as a system cert which requires root

Interestingly ios (which is generally more locked down for dev stuff like this) allows users to install certs for all apps without jailbreak

Yes, well, this is a story about American senators being contacted by their American constituents about an American bill that will affect how Americans interact with this app while in America. So it is a bit relevant here

This reminds me of countries who send pregnant women to antartica to (somehow) strengthen their land claims: https://medium.com/good-to-know/why-11-babies-have-been-born...

Like antartica, I'm sure someone with guns will tell us who really owns the moon as soon as it actually becomes relevant.

Assuming you don't get in front of the car in front of you, wouldn't the maximum efficiency gain be one car length?
Yes, although it requires configuration https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/get-started/
Re:Japan to crack down on Apple and Google app store monopolies on Tuesday December 26, 2023 @12:26PM (#38773750)
This is incorrect, if you distribute an app outside the play store you do not need to use their payment system, even by the letter of the law. The rule specifically applies to play store apps. It's common for developers of more technical apps (like VPN apps) to publish two nearly identical versions - one to the play store that doesn't support iap and one to f-droid/their website that takes payment via credit card.

It's possible the people writing this complaint may be referring to the fact that you can't link to or reference those options from the play store edition of the app, but I think they might just be misinformed.

By the way, it is 480p. 420 is for something else :)
The slippery slope argument is a pet peeve of mine. It is a real, valid concern - in fact when this strategy works people often switch to calling it boiling the frog, which is not usually contested for some reason (even though it is the same thing)

Slowly making changes is a normal strategy at this point, saying anything less than the worst case is a "slippery slope" is no longer relevant imo. It is a valid risk that should at the very least be a point of discussion

It's not hard to repair these sorts of things with a little glue.

> Although the game is just 600 lines of which I haven't written ANY, [coding the game] was the most challenging part

Not quite hello world, but not too much more difficult than a shopping list. The really impressive thing to me is you can make angry birds with just 600 loc (and a couple libraries)

Worse than the dotcom burst?

Me too, I intercepted the network requests and rewrote the key and token (and user agent ^.^ I wonder if any reddit admins here would recognize it...) in the request to access_token, or whatever the endpoint is idr

Assuming you are on android since you patched the app. Did you manage to do it without data loss? It's annoying to turn on httpcanary every time I launch rif.

Is it? Isn't this exactly the outcome you'd hope for?

Individual consumers pay basically nothing and companies are still incentivized to innovate and create new medicines

My first thought was that more people were able to contact 911 because of the new satellite feature

During the announcement apple mentioned that this comes with iphone 14 for free for 2 years. So possibly apple just thinks there's huge opportunity for growth here
