This is not going to change anything. Google decided to become a bully and they'll succeed.

It's all a result of hardware manufacturers not bothering to create a common open source Android fork and keep giving more power to Google. Now even Samsung cannot operate their App Store without every single app in their store signed by Google.

No. Offline password managers are also suspectible to supply chain risk.

That's why my bank does not hash the password. They directly send me plain text password over SMS. It is secure that way.

It is e2e encrypted and just works. Everything in Firefox Sync is encrypted including Bookmarks, History, Passwords etc.

Proton is targetting enterprise who would love a secure alternative to Google Workspace. A normal consumer don't need to put all eggs in one basket. I don't think Proton is forcing you either. I just use their paid email service.

Good for you. I use OpenWrt on a decent router yet it's so flexible. I can create multiple VLANs with different firewall rules, multiple APs, Ad and IP blocking etc.

Honestly I can't imagine going back to a shitty ISP router ever.

Because ARM is a fucking mess. Each device has it's own way of booting. There's no standard like UEFI or BIOS.

Plus you need propreitary code for modem to support 2G, 3G, 4G....etc. which are complicated to implement.

Every text you send through Telegram is stored in plaintext. Telegram and authorities can access that without your knowledge. Also it will get leaked in a breach someday.

Now you decide for yourself if it's private.

I replaced Raspberry Pis with Intel NUC mainly because NUC comes with TPM 2.0. I can now encrypt my drives without storing the key in plaintext.

I could not read the blog because it blocked me for using VPN (speaking of DRMs :) ). While I agree DRM is evil and should be ablolished from user's computers, readers should not get wrong idea about TPM. It's what protects your phone and servers from attackers. Desktop would also benefit from it a lot.

Well they can't do everything, can they?

Agree. Using AI as a tool is very productive. On the other hand, letting AI drive everything is insanely time consuming and tiring work due to back & forth prompts.

Agree. Saying TPM is bad is same as saying Encryption is bad. It's not about the technology. It's about the evil hearted corporations using these technologies to limit user freedom.

It's the Supreme Court of India not Telangana which is a state in India.

He is. This shouldn't even be a question.

Two of the evil internet companies work together? What could go wrong.

With apps, you can subscribe to channels, keep history, create playlist etc. Not possible with website.

Firefox just rolled out process isolation on Android.

Since when did it become unethical to express an individual's opinion? Andy (Proton CEO) is just like any other human. He has his own flaws and opinions. What you need to look into is whether Proton products are secure and private as they claim.

Unlike Sam Altman, who made OpenAI a for‑profit company from a non‑profit, Andy turned Proton into a non‑profit from a for‑profit. I don't see many people appreciating that. But when someone expresses a political opinion, they're canceled for life. I wish cancel culture would die away.

What the hell are you talking about? We have standards almost for everything now. It's just ARM ecosystem messed up as it were on purpose.

Poor Windows. It got caught in the hands of middle and upper management who absolutely have no clue what they are trying to do. Last time I used Windows 11, it looked horrible with each app using different design language and tonnes of MSN stories, advertisements etc. Is that what they are calling AI? It didn't help with any of the task I needed to complete and was more annoying than anything.

I'm definitely not against AI and in fact I wish AI becomes much efficient so it can run on local machines. I can see it is useful in many areas like translation, video compression, accessibilty tools, code reviews, grammar check, writing etc. But shoving it everywhere makes me puke. It's waste of time, power, minerals, water and also investor money.

Get real Microsoft.
