  3. Mozilla set to remove FTP support from Firefox

    Let me guess: “Too complicated to maintain” = “insecure” = feature removed. For the benefit of the users, of course... So when you're too lazy to continue supporting something, just call it “insecure” and call it a day.

  5. I made an app mainly for myself, I ain't paying $20 to Google for something I'm never going to monetise, it's fine on f-droid and I want to be able to sideload it. This is what makes Android better than iOS imo.

  7. Microsoft Teams got 12 million new users in the past week

    How so? Messages aren't delivered, admin portal is completely broken, etc. Huh. Must be a regional thing because it seems ok here.

  10. Over 40 demos for upcoming games go free on Steam for the weekend

    These are mostly demos for games coming this summer or later. Steam is helping the devs get exposure because the events are cancelled, no one can play the demos at their booths. Usually the public wouldn't see these demos as they potentially have bugs or still a work in progress and features are subject to change.

  12. Uninformed comments like this really prove the need for a downvote button. The bitrate reduction was done because EU lawmakers publicly asked Netflix to do it in order to ease bandwidth usage.. Wait a minute... You want the downvote button to downvote the admin? 😂

  16. Mozilla set to remove FTP support from Firefox

    Yes, those sprawling masses of users that somehow both still care about FTP and insist on using a web browser for it. Oh how they overwhelm us. Lo, see how toward horizon they do stretch.

  17. Mozilla set to remove FTP support from Firefox

    I thought they had already pulled support but I must be thinking of Chrome. There's really no reason to have FTP support inside a browser anymore. Like the article states, it's a security concern. If you really need to access an FTP it's better to use a dedicated client. Plus unsecured FTP really should be avoided now a days anyway, better to use FTPS or sFTP for an encrypted connection which the browsers didn't support anyway I don't believe.

  22. Android Advanced Protection now limits non-Play Store app installs

    This would be better if they could secure the Play Store Apps that are full of malware, or that get malware through man in the middle attacks when installed. (A bug that has been in Android and Play Store since 2009.) Seriously, how is this helpful? It 'looks' better than it is, as most malware is delivered through the Store and trusted Apps. There are major Play Store App Malware stories almost every day. XYZ infected 2 millions users - ABCD infected 10 million users - etc.

    I bought the Pixel 3A XL, and really like it, it is fast and responsive, and does everything I need. I had looked and the reviews for the Pixel 4 line were really bad, most ended by saying don't waste your money on it!

  30. What CPU socket/mobo combo for long term upgradability

    Well, from the 2xxx to 3xxx, you usually need a BIOS update. I think the 4xxx are still going to use AM4, but the next 5xxx generation is going to be on a new soicket. IIRC, AM4 was here before the Ryzen 1xxx series. I think, could be wrong..

  35. Mozilla set to remove FTP support from Firefox

    not always, but in this case it's very true. download hosts have been being advised for several years now to move away from hosting downloads on FTP and move them to at least HTTP if not HTTPS. Chrome already dropped FTP support a couple years ago and hasn't had any backlash about it. As I said in my post above, if you really need to access an FTP server just use a dedicated client. Keep the insecurities away from web view.

    Wow, FTP, it's been YEARS since i had a FTP client on my PC, YEARS! I am honestly surprised it was not dropped a lot earlier.

  38. Microsoft Teams got 12 million new users in the past week

    Teams, in its current form, is awful. There's too much clutter on screen. if you want to see a presentation you have to move or minimize everything else. there's no easy way to see the chat function so users always miss msgs. Teams will also save every conversation or Team you have by default. if you did something a month ago, it's still there! you have to manually leave each Team. Once you do, it's still there! you then have to "hide" the Team or conversation. then there's always suggested contacts in the way. it's ridiculous.

  42. They are moving pretty quick with the features the last few weeks. On Canary the only thing I see missing for PDF is Contents (scheduled), highlighting text and touch markup. Other than that the menus are now identical. It covers what I use it for. They have just released Extension and collections syncing. I mean they are just getting warmed up. I love it even with the few missing things, because it just works so much better with the sites I visit. It's nice to have a browser that developers will actually support.

    Oh I gotta hear this. What MS product are they gonna replace it with, LOL? Cant wait for this answer. As an aside, I use yarn. you would have better luck winning the lottery than getting such to reply. not replying ... is their ( only ) way to save face. You know, some people have a real life. Great non-answer.

  46. Sony shares full specifications of the PlayStation 5

    So, that bloomberg article about Sony having issues with cooling, 100% true after what they've listed. They're pushing that GPU to the max at that clock rate and only 36 CUs, in a mad dash to get closer to XSX as they can. That things going to run hot and they know it, thus the whole variable frequency on both the GPU and the CPU. Once your system gets a bit hot expect it to down clock taking your performance with it. In contrast MS made a point to say that it's clock speeds are fixed and don't change, they have more faith in their cooling system it seems.
