I had a very jarring experience a few months ago with pocket casts. I had bought the app on play store a long time ago to listen to podcasts in my car. I had it set up to auto download my podcasts and certain other automations.
I get into my car in the morning, put my phone into a clamp, open the app and it plays through my car Bluetooth.
One morning I was in a hurry to leave because I was running a bit late. I open the app and it's like a completely new app! Nothing was left unchanged. My download and automation settings were either reset or those features had been removed. The app now looked like some design interns over-zealous first attempt.
I gave up and turned on the radio. Until this day I haven't been able to set it back up exactly like I had it before. And this is an app I paid for. It was very cheap, sure, but still.
What's the advantage over just using ublock everywhere? Why go to all this effort and include another point of failure in your network when you can just install an extension?
Except looking inside a neural network is almost impossible. For example, google photos still turns mum if you search "gorilla". They could not figure out wtf was wrong with the recognition networks and had to just blacklist the keywords.
It is possible Microsoft has mitigated the issue in a way that has much lesser performance impact. Maybe they had a highly tuned feature to enable kernel page separation already coded but disabled. I won't be surprised if even the Linux implementation is tuned to the absolute limit in the coming months.
Maybe it's just me but that name is just too general. Is there no other conceivable way an x86 CPU can ever be "insecure"? Why'd they use something so vague? Is this part of the redaction?
Isn't Firefox funded almost entirely by Google?
