I don't agree.
JavaScript was definitly not fine when it started and because of it, people had to create multiple libraries and framework to go around differences in web-browsers. They got used to libraries and big framework as they really were necessary first. Now that JavaScript is pretty good, they are still used to frameworks and libraries which are very often unnecessary.
No, native app is not platform lock-in... You just need to choose the OS correctly and also the app. The SDK for advertising can be present in both. The sandboxing does exist in OS. And you clearly loose control over the App when the website is taken down while you can still use the native app.
If native platform remove support for USB or BLE, your web browser cannot use it either so no USB/BLE at all.
Users can choose but native is a lot better for privacy and security if the OS and the app are chosen correctly.
It bas been and that's why Firefox refused to implement it. It's good that this is done with a plugin as it is not on by default as mist people do not understand the risks. Making it more difficult offers a bit more protection for most people.
Google is known for launching stuff in the webbrowser without thought from a security and privacy standpoint. They are business oriented, not privacy oriented.
Agreed. Not much differences between new phones and couple years older phones if you are not doing crazy gaming on phones. At least for me but maybe some of you might have good reasons to upgrade and can tell us ?
> You don't need long cables, just a local power source
Which means batteries that have to be replaced and maintained or cables... So ethernet with PoE or even better SPE (single pair Ethernet) with PoDL (power over data lines which is PoE for SPE) is the best from my point of view
Europe has good software companies. It's just that the US has bigger VC funding which makes European companies unable to compete when US/EU companies are "fighting".
Using multiple vehicles also increase maintenance. It totally makes sense to use the right tool. You might not want to learn how to use a screw driver instead of a hammer but both have their use.
Most people do not understand any of the authorizations they give to apps and don't want to have to understand it. They will be interested in it only after they got burned.
They just want a thing that "works and do x, y and z" without having to worry about it.
I think the problem is that big corp got them used to easy security because nobody cared before but now that security is getting harder, big corp has no choice but to gave a sense of security they promised but cannot give anymore.
So you had to learn IPv6 the same way you learned IPv4. The question is: was it harder ?
It seems you wanted to know IPv6 without learning it because you thought it would be the same as IPv4.
And yes the Free boxes are hard to work with if you don't want to mess with vlan and still have TV services.
On the contrary, I would say that this is a garage you rent on a public space. The internet is open and I can do requests to any server. If you don't want your system to answer me, make sure it does not.
If I am in front of an ATM on the public street, it doesn't give me money without authorization. Make sure your server does the same.
If the encryption info is derived from the password it can be done without visual encryption keys for the user. It is the case with Firefox Sync. They have no way to recover the data if you forget the password.
It has made lots of impacts but just not publicly (in embedded like hard drives, eytc...). Also there is not as much spent in advertisement in comparison to "the brand new Apple chip" which is backed by a company with deep pockets (and which evidently is also more powerful)
Those might not be common in the US or in your place but are very common in others and are at least in the country I live in, because they are just an investment.
For me, it's wired with any technology that gives power and network over the same wire so that I can forget the thing when setup (no wireless issue and connection problem) and it doesn't stop working because your router is down.
