Ditto! Phone, nah, I can go a few hours without touching it, but my laptops or desktops? Nope!

Kudos to him! He is awesome!

There are tons of interviews, news, etc. and actors and actresses + show runners involved with DS9 talking about its unpopularity at the time.

Fucking hell that sounds painful

With the hype of Section 31, I really wish there was a continuation of DS9 like the documentary had. It seems so weird to me that a series that was hated had a critical part of it taken for the newer series.

I feel like if they initially didn’t try to force people to pay a subscription for a free service, Apple wouldn’t have closed the issue.

That being said, they fixed what was inarguably an exploit that could have led to scammers using Bluestacks to run iMessage spam campaigns. (These exist now, but would be amplified)

Great read! Fascinating to read about its growth and eventual fall.

With Google owning VirusTotal and having Google Project Zero, I'm surprised Google doesn't have its own equivalent to Windows Defender. AFAIK, Play Protect isn't really that good at spotting malicious apps.

Microsoft Defender for Android (through Microsoft 365) is there for anyone paying for 365. IIRC, T-Mobile customers get Lookout Premium for free.

I use AdGuard's premium apps but these should work just fine in browser based adblockers:

• Empty Padding Remover: Extremely useful on tablet and phones; can save some space on desktop.
• I don't want to download your browser: removes many prompts to download Chrome, Edge, etc.
• Browse Websites Without Logging In: Does what the name implies.
• Staying On The Phone Browser: removes most nags to download apps or companion apps for a “better experience”.

According to my sources, the new Windows bosses are now returning to an annual release cycle for major versions of the Windows platform, meaning Windows is going back to having just one big feature update a year instead of multiple smaller ones throughout.

Good. Despite Windows 10 with all of its privacy issues, it's nice to see major updates released to an OS every year rather than a new version of Windows every few years.

I would like to thank you for your explanation, captain obvious.
