It works with any device you can install it on but not for example on cheap tv sticks, smart devices and other IoT stuff which still may be infested with adware phoning home every second. I’ve been using pi-hole at home and NextDNS/VPN outside as they’re more complementary than overlapping.
This is too stupid to be true. For a 6-hour outage to significantly increase the ad frequency (and lower the conversion rate) you should pressure the system to recover the outage in a day or two; do they really need it? We're not even at the end of the month...
Only the most relevant topics from the big tech news fanfare percolate inside HN; all the rest brings to the light a part of the tech web which would otherwise remain mostly unknown to me. HN us a community-driven curation process and it works because the community is great.
As much as Futurists did want to shape reality rather than describe it, their best contribution was the description of such troubled yet somehow exciting times. The manifesto is from 1909, fascism yet to come. The tension in the form and language reflects the subterranean conflicts of the time. WW1 was around the corner. Even though many futurists were absorbed by fascism (not foreseeing how far the violent charlatans that ran it, were from their ideal), their art still is valuable as a testimony, a narration. For this it has a beauty of its own: it carries intact, a powerful message from a time long gone.
It's easy to discard the futurist movement on the basis of its relationship with fascism. Here in Italy it happens all the time. When such skewed filter is removed, futurism appears as the embodiment of a troubled and exciting phase, one of those moments in history in which huge changes were in the making and tradition was a burden to leave behind. One could also imagine Marinetti's disappointment about yesterday's heroic future turning into today's dull present, in which technology often works against humanity rather than empowering it. His faith in the technological future clashes badly with today's permanent fear and the consequent recrudescence of religion and stale tradition.
Wonder what Apple’s reaction will be. Their relationship with Nvidia has been bumpy to say the least. Any ARM licensee now has a competitor as a supplier. The smaller ones will have to swallow but the larger licensees? Do they have options on the table - other than trying to throw a wrench into nvidia’s presumed acquisition plans?
Totally agree, in theory. In practice US regulators are too short sighted, incompetent and possibly corrupt (in that they benefit from the status quo, and are heavily lobbied) to deal with the situation; also, if Firefox dies, it’s another thick nail in the web’s coffin.
Even non users should donate to Firefox: the presence of a independent browser in a market dominated by browsers following the agenda of this le that huge tech company benefits the whole market. Of course using it (or any other independent browser, but only FF has a chance to stay in the double digits) and contributing to its market share would be even more beneficial. Apple’s Safari will never effectively stop Facebook’s sneaky spyops as Facebook is a core partner for Apple’s richest platform. And Chrome, well...
Apple’s own ad service is long gone and won’t come back (if some sanity is still left in Apple’s board). They’re just playing nice with some core partners.
Doesn’t sound legit. ARM was purchased by SoftBank in 2016 for 32bn USD.and from then it might have grown more than 20% per year. Selling a growing company with bright perspectives today for the same price you purchased it 4 years ago makes no sense, even for a struggling Softbank.
A wide coalition must form: every single OEM acquiring ARM will reduce its value. BTW Apple won’t let Nvidia control a central part of its Long term hardware strategy.
