Anytime a website throws this nonsense at me, I immediately go elsewhere.

iVerify vice president of research Matthias Frielingsdorf points out that while Showcase represents a concerning exposure for Pixel devices, it is turned off by default. This means that an attacker would first need to turn the application on in a target’s device before being able to exploit it. The most straightforward way to do this would involve having physical access to a victim’s phone as well as their system password or another exploitable vulnerability that would allow them to make changes to settings.

Just a bit of alarmism then, with something that can be easily removed in an update.

I’m 6’2". Do I have height privilege?

Thoughts with anyone called Al at this difficult time.

This alongside paper straws.

Who thought paper and liquid was a good mix?

My Pixel 4a’s battery is on the wane, so this may be my next phone.

Probably wait for a price drop though because I’m not desperate for it at the moment.

If security is your prime concern, then I definitely wouldn’t use an “all-in-one” messenger service.

Who’s reading this in 2024?!

I don’t have any delivery notes. Also, on the odd occasions when I do, they don’t pay attention to them anyway.

“Leave with the neighbour if I’m not in”, then I get a picture of it sitting behind the bin.

Amazon drivers here never even hand you the parcels anymore. They leave it on the doorstep, knock the door and then by the time you’ve gone to the door to collect it, they’re driving off.

I did once have one not even bother knocking the door and automatically leave the parcel in the bin, even though I was at home and he could have just knocked the door and handed it to me. 🤦

Just need passkey support on mobile and we’re all set.

(I don’t know if the article mentions that, my adblocker prevents me from reading it)

This is why I love my Pixel 4a. I think it’s like 5.8 inches and it’s just the ideal size to use comfortably and fit in my pocket.

Removed by mod

Yeah, I don’t care for this feature but I’m not going to get wound up by something that I can switch off in about three presses.

Turn it off then.

Vivaldi browser is good for sites like that because you can use simplified view, which removes all the shit and just gives you the article text.

The Reading Mode app on Android does this too.

I’m not even disabled, but as soon as I see these I close the website.

I haven’t got time to faff around solving some stupid puzzles just to log in to my account.

The Independent is the worst site for ads.

I tend to avoid clicking on any links to that site because it’s a mess to use. Even with an ad blocker, you still get pop-ups about subscribing or whatever.
