From the same page: "February 4, 2020: Chrome 80 Stable released. The enablement of the SameSite-by-default and SameSite=None-requires-Secure enforcement will not be included in this initial Chrome 80 stable rollout. Please see the next item for more detailed information on the when SameSite enforcement will be enabled for Chrome 80 stable." They just delayed enforcement until the 17th. People still need to prepare for it in enterprises. The enforcement was delayed, but the public panic and click-bait opportunities start TODAY! =)3 points -

I haven't read a lot of it, but what I have seen of disrn.com has been pretty good. They're conservative, you can tell by their opinion pieces which are quite biased, but I personally feel their news coverage is fairly factual and non-opinionated. The thing is, except for Fox, conservative news outlets tend to be much less bias and actually report on stuff, instead of Orange Man Bad for 4 years. And it sucks that this 2 party system almost eliminated centrists. I would call myself that. I agree with some stuff from Demos, some stuff from Repubs. We are picking from the least evil3 points -

Yes people did and many more people will this year. Democrats have been going crazy for the past 4 years and that pushed a lot of people. People forget that Hillary got over 3 million more votes, and in the second largest vote count in the history of the USA. Democrats nor Voters in general are to blame for Trump. Sure, but Electoral College is still a thing. And as a non-american, it makes so much sense. Every state should have equal voting power3 points -

When I searched for the Fast and furious 9 trailer on YouTube, I got results from all sorts of unknown channels that reposted the original trailer but not from Universal Pictures (I was logged out). When Google wants to control which videos I should watch for something as mundane as a movie trailer, how can someone trust it to provide the correct info on anything? my experience may he anecdotal but the algorithm is not.3 points -

DaveSharp and 2 others reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
Giving people what they want becomes a problem when factual information is withheld from users in search and news results. As for Google Search, it is good. However, one can exist with seldom using Google. I maybe have a need to use Google Search less than 3 or 4 times a year, and I average several hundred searches per day. Bing is fine, as private as DuckDuckGo, and doesn't generate bias results from previous interactions, which is handy for political information. DuckDuckGo is also better than Google for most people. I also use other sources for news, instead of Google News. Even MSN/Bing News offers more diverse information, which even if I don't like it, is far more factual than Google results. Google News heavily shifts and caters to the user's belief system, often with results that are non-factual or at best opinion. On my 'Google throw away account' - my Google News political results are entirely skewed to my political nature, and if it was my source for information, there are dozens of stories I would miss even knowing exist each day. This is a huge problem, and Google hasn't done enough to fix it. Google also doesn't fix the biases that they know search results can create, that are shifted by their advertisers that proclaim to be apolitical and aren't. Heck, Google search results can still be manipulated to provide fake business information, phone numbers, etc. - even after being exposed 10 years ago. This same tricks are used for narratives and political results. Even if Google is diligent in removing them quickly, millions of people will see them and be influenced in a matter of a few minutes. Google's results are equivalent to people that only consume one media and one source, (Fox, MSNBC, etc.) - they end up knowing less about current news because they don't see many of the current news stories. As a result, then then know less factual information over a time span compared to people that randomly choose news sources. If people stick with Google News/Search for political headlines and content. At least poke your head out once a day and check Bing/MSN news or some other non-biased aggregator. I know I beat the 'Google does crappy stuff dead horse' a lot, but it costs you nothing to use other searches and sources for information once in a while or once a day, which is your benefit.3 points -

They need protection from themselves if that's the case. They manipulate their opposing candidate search results (sometimes maybe not directly, but stories surrounding their beliefs).Not making this a Left vs Right thing, but it's still true. Google is a horrible company, but still has the best search engine.3 points -

Who exactly do you think would be hacking your wifi to be honest? The kid nextdoor? Someone war driving? WPA2 with unique ssid and secure psk is more than secure enough...

Years ago, around the turn of the millennium, a mate asked me to build a computer for her. She wanted it pink... And so I did; got a nice translucent case and painted it pink inside with LEDs, pink accessories and removed the monitor bezel to paint that also. Did a damned decent job too. So I drive it over to hers and we carry the parts into the house, up the stairs into her pink bedroom and sweet lord... EVERYTHING was pink, various shades but all pink. It literally hurt my eyes and was a bit disorienting with the light shining through her pink blinds!2 points -

UK: Ofcom finds 50% of kids have a smartphone by 10 and WhatsApp use is growing among teens
dead.cell and one other reacted to +InsaneNutter for a topic
I use WhatsApp as it’s a massive upgrade over SMS / MMS with no hidden costs. If I want to send a very low quality image by MMS it will cost me 75p, despite having unlimited SMS messages. Likewise with SMS it costs 1p for a delivery report, no such cost with WhatsApp. If you know someone’s on WhatsApp you can also voice, video call or even send them a file regardless of their location in the world at no additional cost. To me that’s how communication should be in 2020, not worrying what little charge your network provider might try screw you on to make some extra money. WhatsApp web is also pretty handy, I leave that open in a tab at work to quickly reply to any messages when I have a moment without having to pick my phone up.2 points -

Who cares really? Trump has the next election in his pocket. Trump is a bit more popular than in 2016, also the democrats are self-cannibalizing and the democrats will play Biden or Sanders.

Right now, you have to pick one extreme side or the other, which leaves zero room for bipartisanship and creates the polarization each side thrives off of.

Microsoft is shutting down its Ad Monetization platform for UWP apps
John K and one other reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
Pretty much everything Sinofsky touched turned to sheet. Its like he was a trojan horse to kill Microsoft. Trying to dumb down and shoehorn a GREAT desktop operating system platform, onto a 4" touch screen device was plain madness, and yes "I told you so" too! Opinion aside, let us at least untangle your arguments. Sinofsky hated WP, hated tablets and didn't care for touch either. He and Ballmer had a similar mindset. Sinofsky is who gutted the touch and tablet features from Office and stagnated the Win7 touch features, which were supposed to be a large focus after Vista. If it wasn't for the Surface hardware showcase technologies, Windows 8 would have offered nothing much new for touch. Even the touch technologies added to Win8 are almost a duct tape implementation, breaking the previous 'new' Win7 touch/input drivers, and creating an addition touch overlay that didn't work with the existing frameworks or technologies. This was a massive mistake. So you can't blame Sinofsky for small devices or touch, as he was the one sabotaging them. I do agree, he was a freaking idiot, as the original UWP (WinRT) platform was to include the Phone technologies along with desktop integration APIs. Instead he locked out the WP team, and rolled over desktop developers. WinRT on Win 8 sucked as a mobile API and sucked as a Desktop API. At the very least it could have at least mimicked the Phone framework and ran Phone Apps. Sinofsky also left App development for Win8 to the XBox App team, which is another reason Apps in Win8 were limited and horrible. As for Windows running on a 4" device, it works well. Windows is still lighter than Android on devices. And remember this is the full version of Windows 10 compared to a mobile OS, with Android even consuming more RAM to this day. People also forget that WP and WM received tons of UI and design awards. It works, and is still nearly far ahead of what we now have on Android and iOS. The entire framework was GPU accelerated at the lowest layers, where iOS and Android slap on some GPU acceleration on top of their frameworks. WP also influence iOS and Android a lot, from the simplistic Metro design, to many UI contexts; Apple even designed their multitasking and isolation models based on how WP worked. Windows on a Phone or other tablets was a good idea, even if it faced Apple and Google antics and Microsoft not firing Ballmer and Sinofsky sooner. Moving forward from today... The desktop UI needs the UI technologies from UWP, that is all that was necessary for software to run on any size device with any screen size and resolution. Back when iOS and Android and other popular frameworks could barely scale, UWP was scaling and flowing and automatically adjusting to any device. UWP is not going anywhere; however, it and desktop are being rolled together with WinUI 3.0 being separated and working seamless with any framework. As for Windows Store, even if it changes from how it exists today, at the very least it will exist as a repository and distribution technology, which potentially could even become multiplatform. Even the corporate App changes already in place from Microsoft still provide distribution. As for the Ad system being removed, Microsoft has provided and allowed 3rd party advertising technologies for Apps for many years now, and Microsoft has been pulling out of direct Advertising ever since they fired Ballmer. There used to be a large Ad infrastructure for Bing and MSN that are essentially gone or dead now. The Store advertising platform is one of the final pieces to be turned off. (The developers complaining have a 'tiny' point, but unlike Google or Apple, they are NOT locked into Microsoft to make money from Ads, they have been able to use 3rd parties for several years now.)2 points -

I was in the same position then found myself excluded socially as most things were organised via the app. No one uses SMS and no one really uses Telegram even though it's superior in just about every way. iMessage is great but WhatsApp is the universal messaging app of choice for the masses. Sadly it does what it's supposed to do very well. Too bad it's owned by Facebook.1 point -
