Its definitely not in my bookmarks. when i start typing, its under the section titled "top hits". google maps is right beneath it, but never first place

Recently safari (on macos 10.15) started auto completing „maps.“ to „maps.apple.com“, although I only tried Apple maps once and always use gmaps. Maybe google noticed this and tries to circumvent safari‘s „preference“ for Apple Maps

I‘m really not trying to sound snarky, but - is this the supposedly high quality treatment that U.S. citizens get that is so much more expensive as opposed to the „socialized“ insurance we get in Europe that is cheaper for everybody and supposedly therefore not as good/cutting edge?

nice, thanks for sharing! for anyone having trouble configuring the shell execution: use /bin/sh/ for launch path and "-c" (without quotes) for parameter. Otherwise BTT will autofill "(null)" and then it won't work and it won't tell you why

In case you use macOS and own a M1 mac, check if your bank's 2fa app works on macOS. Your bank can deactivate it but iOS apps default to being runnable under macOS.

What’s dangerous in a PDF besides JS which is not executed in macos Preview.app?

Really cool what you did there! One idea that comes to mind: Would it be possible to implement wake-on-(W)Lan so that the image updating can be triggered by the device that generates the image? Or would that be too battery intense?

> But it insist of using AFP+ as its Filesystem.

(Assuming you mean APFS) Not true. I have Openmediavault running on my raspberry pi 4 and the two drives i use for dual-backup are both ext4. (can really recommend RPI4+OMV for time machine btw)

Exactly my thought. It has been like that for a long time and will continue to be. Maybe the author's thought would be better phrased as: Trust online is continuing to decline due to new and better imitation techniques (DeepFake etc)

I don't think the situation is as dramatic as the article suggests. Trust online is at an all time low anyways: 1. youtube reviews are sponsored 2. online discussions (reddit etc) are influenced by manufactures.When I search online I still depend on those sources - I just filter information critically, pay attention to FACTS, verify them with other reviews again over and over.

So i guess this is only news for people who still believe other people's opinion only because they are able to publish online, alas people who got used to it being different/better before.

I guess moral only exists for things which were a problem for a long time. Mass data collection is a relatively new thing. So morals around data collection don't really exist; ask the average person on the street how much they care about this. Result is those non-existent morals weren't able to be codified in law hence no wonder somebody is out there 'exploiting' this.

Not on a mobile device, but I read that some company is using OpenCV to judge customers reactions to ads shown to them. that is, ads shown on TVs in stores and recording the reactions with a hidden camera and evaluating right away. Wish I could give more details but I can’t find the source any more
