I am researching the claim that Chromium is more secure than Firefox
  • Maestro Maestro 1w ago 98%

    Secure from what exactly? You need to have a threat model here. For most personal use cases I'd argue that protection from adtech tracking is more important than e.g. sandboxing. Most people run into adtech continuously, but few people browse shady exploit-ridden sites.

    In that case, Firefox us the clear winner. It supports manifest v2 for better adblocking, and it is the only mobile browser with extension support allowing you to use adblocking on mobile as well.

  • It's the spooky season, what are your recommended movies (and other media) for the season that aren't gory horror or kids movies?
  • Maestro Maestro 1w ago 100%

    I recommend:

    • The Cabin in the Woods
    • Tucker and Dale versus Evil
    • Midnight Mass
    38
  • The Disappearance of an Internet Domain (about .io, and about the history of .su and .yu)

    Sadly they will probably jack up the price while they are at it too. I just moved everything to my own petsonal .io a few years ago. I don't want to have to move again.

    Periodically rotating passwords is against NIST policy. Ask IT why the insist on using it when everyone, even the government, says it's insecure

  • Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered forces PSN login for PC users if they decide to upgrade
  • Maestro Maestro 4w ago 100%

    There are none. It's the upgrade from the normal to the remasterd version, and it won't be sold in unsupported regions. It's not an update/patch on the existing game.

  • In ref to parents bringing their kids to Hazbin Hotel panels
  • Maestro Maestro 4w ago 98%

    There is a large gap between needing to card someone because the might be younger than 18, and someone bringing little kids. With the little kids you can point to the 18+ sign and just refuse entry.

    I wonder if it is possible to sue TV makers for adding ads after you purchased the device.

  • Let's discuss: Hollow Knight
  • Maestro Maestro 4w ago 100%

    For me it wasn't some boss or something. It was just some ridiculous precision platforming that couldn't get past. I'm 45. My reaction times aren't what they used to be. And the fact that you have to fight your shade every time made it just that much harder.

    Ori and the Blind Forest also had some difficult precision platforming but the instant reload and no death penalty made it much easier to just try dozens of times until you get it.

  • Workers Make Smartphones. They Design Them, Assemble them and Sell them. Capitalism stole the credit and makes them worse
  • Maestro Maestro 4w ago 100%

    Not all. I have a Pixel 2 and Google royally screwed it over with lhe last update before EOL. If you draw too much power, the phone will spontaneously reboot. For example, when using the camera when the battery is below 50%, or when playing video at full brightness and volume, etc. They acknowledged the problem but refused to fix it because the phone is EOL

  • Doctor skillfully compares overeating with alcohol addiction and how we can get it under control
  • Maestro Maestro 4w ago 90%

    Alcoholics can stop drinking alcohol. But people can't stop eating. It's not possible. You cannot avoid all fat, sugar and salt like an alcoholic avoids alcohol.
