It is entirely possible that Samsung cannot handle certs.

Re: Try losing a 2-factor authenticator key.

Use FreeOTP+ which allows you to back up 2FA keys to json files or back up everything into the loving arms of Google with Google Authenticator if you must.

Dedicated apps like Steam can be backed up with your favourite apk backup app.

Re: Scanner problem

Why would that help? Printer drivers are downloaded and installed automatically by Software Update.

Re: Go64

As the website says...

However, once they've been identified, looking them up and locating the developers' contact information can be a painstaking process if you've got more than a few. In addition, the System Report doesn't account for apps that are themselves 64-bt, but that contain 32-bit plugins, frameworks or services. These apps may or may not run correctly on macOS 10.15. That's why we made Go64!

Re: Let me see if I understand...

In theory upvoting and downvoting do that, but of course if it doesn't work because answers that were right (or thought right) in 2012 and now known not to be right hog the top spot forever, it's going to be useless for detecting vulnerabilities.

Maybe upvotes should disappear after an year or two so there's a continual incentive to upvote better answers and poor answers will eventually drop down.

Who am I kidding, people will just copy and paste the first answer and ding the upvote button.

Re: "under Nadella concluded that it would never win the application support"

UWP and newer MS UI may deliver more fashionable interfaces, but they don't add much for most professional applications, and just make UI design even more complex (not everybody has a graphic artist available)

Least of all MS. Many icons in Windows 10 and Office 365 remind me of the placeholder icons I used to draw for toolbar icons before the graphic artist came along and sorted them out.

Re: Well that ruling has a timespan of about 30 days in the UK

It's not that kind of negotiation. The British government has certain red lines (that it's tying itself in knots over). The EU came came up with what was legally possible given those red lines. As much as the UK beats or sets up some last minute game of chicken, it won't get anything different unless it changes those red lines.

Johnson's "take it or leave it" offer is so much like no deal that it might as well be no deal. Whether or not that is the intention, who knows.

My poor attempt at humour without an icon.

Kodi out of the box is a blank slate. It'd be iPlayer add-ons which would send the data, if that were ever to happen (which I doubt).

Re: Hmm, isn't that trivial to obtain?

Perhaps you'd be kind enough to point out a TV sold now which isn't "smart"?

When I was looking two or three years back they were hard to find, I expect they're impossible to find today. (No, it's not connected to the Internet.)

As far as I'm concerned the use of "they" whenever it's uncertain whether "he" or "she" should apply has been part of English as long as I can remember.

For come reason this isn't a thing in US English and they've been tying themselves in knots over it for years. Apparently "they" is gramatically incorrect and must not be used. Code of conducts and so on are preferred.

Re: We have signed emails

It seems to me that there is some lack of evidence as to who sent the postcard and lack of protection from alterations in transit, the same with an email which isn't PGP signed.

But if this is deemed acceptable by TPTB then so be it.

Re: Don't worry

Speaking from experience, building something then having to rebuild something similar but not the same is still perhaps not the best use of time.

Re: Solution to the problem

can't equalise the pressure in their ears and this can be excruciatingly painful. But there seem to be loads of parents who would rather inflict this pain on their kids than miss out on a sunny holiday.

Going them a bottle* or dummy gets them to suck and that equalises the pressure. It is known. (If it isn't then politely suggest it.)

Also, I take exception to the sunny holiday thing. Families with partners from different countries are a thing.

* If airport security didn't carry out a controlled explosion on it, of course.

Re: Not coping well with Brexit

There was always the cross-party approach instead of FPTP winner takes it all my way or the highway. It seems impossible to do this in the UK though, but this time it was necessary since there are about 4-5 versions of leaving.

Re: Microsoft *really* fighting for users?

Of course not. They lobbied for the CLOUD Act so they could wash their hands of the problem.

Re: Can we please keep the lynchmobs quiet?

If Google Translate did something like get confused over "not" from French to English (which it does), how would they even know to follow up?

Frankly, if you're not competent, you have no business setting up servers.

How would ever get round to setting up your first server then?

Re: Regardless of which side of the fence you are on.

If I remember the discussions correctly then this could actually cause major issues in the future specifically because it says the Supreme Court has authority over Parliament. This goes against the supposed seperation of powers which is presumed in how things 'work' in the UK.

The Supreme Court sentenced that Parliament holds the Executive to account, but as Parliament could not carry out its duties then it fell to the Judiciary to hold the Executive to account.

Re: Anniversary hype

The Casio CA53W-1 is still going strong, unfortunately it's not the model with the game. Their marketing dept obviously have no idea what they're doing.

Re: Feature Request

I don't think HSTS would let you replace a certificate with another one from a different issuer.

Re: Do they have any ferries though?

Isn't indyref2's final goal an independent Scotland which will join the EU?

Re: Nice in principle..

It's a short step from radio and TV to the Internet, and as the BBC does children's TV and educational programmes, a short step from there to social media.

And really, we need all the help we can get to stop American social media companies preying on children. Their only thought is to build a profile which follows them around for life so they can sell adverts aimed at them.
