Is it really a downside that Gnod Search is barebones?

I thought that is a conscious design decision.

Personally, I prefer to quickly go through a simple page with an input box and search buttons than to go through a page with a background image and logos.

What is the attack vector?

I don't see a reason to to that. To me that sounds like making a printing press of paper. Or a newspaper of steel.

You should probably explain what it does. When I click your link, I get a message "how do you want to use messanger, web or app?". I clicked "web" and was greeted with a fb login page. At this point I gave up.

I am a publisher located in Europe and my life's work is all in one .com domain. I often wonder how secure the ownership of a domain is and if there are any steps necessary to secure it. My registrar requires a signed document to transfer domains. By post or scanned. But how secure is that? How would they know if I sent the document or somebody else?

And what if somebody hacked the registrar? Are there global mechanisms to undo wrongful domain transfers?

Do you guys think our emails on Yahoo mail are safe after this? I will backup mine as soon as I find the time to do so.

Yahoo has a terrible track record regarding emails. I already lost one due to inactivity. They gave it to somebody else. That somebody probably has access to several of my accounts now. On websites where I used my Yahoo address and then just forgot about it.

"Hello Product Hunters! Get €50 off at the checkout"

As a Hacker Newser, somehow this message confuses me.

I don't want the OS to talk to anywhere except for a clearly defined, lean, verifiable process that fetches security updates.

That's why I use Debian. And hope they do the right thing.
