It’s been two months sir

By default, it’s just undo text input when you either do a special swipe or tap the back, useful in e.g. the web browser. However applications can hook into this functionality to do their own stuff when the gesture is called.

No, the camera and library permissions always have been separate, it’s just that Apple’s official camera app integrates them. Think about it, one’s hardware and the other one’s basically software.

The revelation comes two years after a LinkedIn profile associated with Kinahan named “Christopher Vincent”—the same name on the Google account—was uncovered.

Primary sources and research cannot be cited to support objective facts. However, they can be used to cite criticism from a group. The only difference with your original reply is that being cited as criticism instead of fact does not magically make the source secondary.

That’s correct, except it’s still considered a primary source, which can be cited to see what a group said if due.

(I meant to quote from the article but forgot to style it as a blockquote)

(speaking of which, Wikipedia’s editors hate decoration, which they consider to be juvenile and include that little pastel vertical line on the left of blockquotes, in favor of the browser default of indenting the quote on both sides)

The present report does not seem intended to be an academic publication, although it has already been used as a citation in the article Wikipedia and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

They kinda don’t! It’d be trending videos near your IP locations + your watch history for this browser session

Are there like hobby Minecraft servers not related to Microsoft? I’m thinking like the Library map and such.

Maps aren’t servers. They’re just maps as in any other videogame. You can play maps offline and with local multiplayer.

Most servers aren’t related to Microsoft, but they also use the default server software which requires proper authentication. Now that Mojang account servers are down you can’t log in with them anymore. One’d have to use patched server software that completely turns authentication off or uses an alternative authentication server to allow people without Microsoft accounts to join.

Consumers can also pay for extended Windows 7 updates, of course. I also don’t see why just that (consumers can also pay) part is bad and much worse than a stupid requirement to force users to pay.

But that is like a giant difference in what they usually measure

IMDb is user generated, and he stars in “The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick” (?) from 1990.

SI also does meter instead of cm, so it overall checks out.

centi- actually means 1/100th in the metric system

Too close to centigrade, plus centi- actually means 1/100th in the metric system.

Basically, it was a giant uptick in use that was likely made by human beings instead of a DDoS botnet, and they’re still investigating where it came from

“After looking into this, it seems you have a hit song on your site,” the email from Netlify customer support reads. “Maan Bou Jan Sang Lou by Teresa Tang. I was not aware of her, but she seems to be a popular Taiwanese singer. This song is 99% of your bandwidth usage over the past 30 days.”

The letter further explained that a lot of bandwidth was generated from user agents that “are quite ancient using Google Cloud addresses”.

“This would include devices such as circa 2010 iPads, Windows 98 & Windows 6 computers. So either you have a fanbase with a passion for older technology, or this was likely a DDoS attack. To me, this seems to be the latter,” the email continued and suggested hosting such files on third-party platforms, such as YouTube or SoundCloud.

After explaining the standard practice of reducing the bill to 20% after such attacks, which would be $20,900 in this case, the Netlify support team offered a better deal.

“I’ve currently reduced it to about 5%, which is $5,225. I know this is still a lot of money, and I apologize for the inconvenience. If you like, I can raise this internally to see what else can be done.”

The user wasn’t happy with that and decided not to pay but post their story on Reddit and Hacker News instead.

One user on Hacker News with the alias ‘bobfunk’ introduced himself as the Netlify CEO and assured users that the bill would be forgiven. Cybernews was unable to verify the CEO’s identity independently. However, many previous posts from the same user and his bio support the claim of him being Matt Biilmann, the founder of Netlify.

In another twist, the DDoS attack version of the story is being ruled out

“Since the user opened a ticket with us this past Sunday, we’ve been actively researching this situation. Initially, we thought it might have resulted from a DDoS attack, which we stated in our first response. After some investigating, it looks as though the spike in traffic was not caused by a DDoS after all,” Dorian Kendal, CMO at Netlify, told Cybernews.

Instead, now they believe that this was a sustained download event of an mp3 file over a stretch of multiple days.

“We’re working directly with the user to better understand what’s happening on their end, so we can uncover what caused the dramatic increase in downloads,” Kendal said.

“We’ve confirmed that the user was notified multiple times about the additional bandwidth that was being consumed on their site, but given their lack of response to these notifications, we believe that we should revisit and improve the messaging and urgency that’s being communicated.”
