Here I thought not giving accessibility permission, draw over apps permission among others meant I was safe.
Guess, there’s always something on the corner. More infuriating, this was disclosed in February and google has yet to completely fix the issue. I doubt I would be getting a proper fix any time sooner than march at this pace.
- Comment on Hackers can steal 2FA codes and private messages from Android phones 6 days ago:
Not all banks and website support physical key authentication. Besides, those keys can also be vulnerable. Yubikeys and others were vulnerable to a side channel attack and you had to buy new keys since you cannot patch hardware.
The only saving grace was an Attacker needed physical access to attempt that. But, yes in general can be more secure.

This is superb news. Now, we need audio translation and we can watch any videos in any language in the whole world.
Currently, doing that is a bit complicated than it needs to be.

You can make this suggestion to the developer. Maybe, he can suggest something to reduce the battery impact of server polling.
- Comment on Simple x eating battery 2 months ago:
Use the run all the time setting. There is no getting around that. Unless, you have a unified push server which can notify for replies.

Tell those coworkers to pick up the slack and work on their day-off. Take the off time for you and others so the aggravted workers feel good and pat their backs.
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 4 months ago:
I use one because it had one in the box. Otherwise, I would’ve purchased one since the back is prone to scratches and degradation. It also adds a level of protection to the phone.

- Comment on End of the Road: An AnandTech Farewell 1 year ago:
I quite enjoyed reading their in-depth tech coverage. Especially, in the early days when theyvcovered smartphones. There won’t be a 2nd anandtech in history for a long time to come.
They should release their articles as a torrent to conserve the long history of anandtech.

Do you know anything about financial markets?
I’m at a beginner level in Investments and stock market.
Study and you’ll understand everything you could do with it.
I’m already learning about Investments and stock market. Maybe, once I finish that I could consider this. But, I don’t see much value in crypto so won’t bother.
Perhaps, if my perception changes in the future I could reconsider. Just not in the near future.
- Comment on Opinion | Don’t Get Fooled Again by Crypto 1 year ago:
I never understood the crypto hype. There was even an article by protonmail detailing its history and all. Yet, I remain oblivious.

Yeah, something like Adguard family DNS protection or any other family protection DNS service exist which works at the device level or even the network level and is simple to setup on smartphones and latops/computers or even the router.
YouTube won’t even load comments saying restricted mode if I browse through Adguard family protection DNS server.

Hmm, I thought modern day browsers had protection against redirect and history poisoning attacks. Guess not in all.

Can you elaborate more about this “harmless history stealing” bit and how did you find it? Also, was the OS outdated in your case?
Like a sane person I use a system wide adblocker (Adguard) and unlock-origin in firefox. I also disable 3rd party iframes by default to reduce the crap being loaded by default on all my devices.
