From your post history, it looks like you’re in Singapore. If so, then I don’t think that will be a concern - if anything, given how most government apps treat sideloading on the Android side, they’ll probably block you from using them if you use the feature.
4·1 year agoI’ve looked around malware link scrapers (ex. URLhaus) before, and I recall seeing that a large portion of the malware links were hosted on Discord, especially trojans. Although it will break a lot of legitimate shared files, I respect them for fixing this security issue
I mean, you could just block OpenAI’s crawlers’ IP addresses, if you wanted to
That would be cool, if we still installed Windows from CDs and DVDs. But last time I installed Windows 10, it took 2-3 minutes to finish (excluding the OOBE prompts), so it’s not very helpful…
They’ve been separate for more than a decade now
I swear, we need a version of r/savedyouaclick on Lemmy at some point.
Also, I thought this feature was already released? I’ve been using it for the better half of this year.
I guess, but I don’t see how much they can really influence Telegram without any stake in the app itself. They only seem to have a deal for cloud-hosting with the TON Foundation, a non-critical part of the app, and even that appears to be non-exclusive. So if Tencent tries to force a bad decision onto Telegram, what’s stopping them from severing ties and moving everything over to another provider?
Of course, we don’t know what the situation will be like in the future, but at this present moment, I don’t think Telegram’s security has been breached by this. (Also I think you triple-posted this comment)
This week, TON Foundation announced that it’s forged a partnership with Tencent Cloud, which has “already successfully supported TON validators and plans to expand its services further to help meet TON’s high compute intensity and network bandwidth needs.” Validators, in web3 lingo, are participants that help authenticate transactions in a blockchain network.
It looks like the partnership with Tencent only extends to their Web3 blockchain thing, and there doesn’t seem to be any partnership in the main app so it’s not the end of the world - at least, for now.
Also, what even is this TON blockchain? I never knew Telegram had anything to do with crypto :/
Hasn’t the founder been a vocal critic of Russia for years, including the Ukraine war? I don’t really see why that would be a concern, especially since Telegram is supposedly owned by a US LLC
Honestly, they should have settled. I’m not sure how much the publisher’s settlement was, but I bet they’re going to lose this appeal anyway :/
Don’t see how, this is based on web analytics
4·1 year agoSure, the Steam Deck is cool, but a Series S can actually be bought in most of the world. Last I checked, Valve only sells it in less than 20 countries
There is also Qobuz, which offers 96 kHz/24 bit streaming if you live in a supported country
Yeah, it’s the same for iOS when you sideload any app. You can always get an SMS OTP to login though
And here I thought DBS Digibank’s anti-tamper protection was too strict. To be honest, I don’t know why these banks spend so much effort protecting the app from hacking, when most fraud comes from someone divulging account information to a scammer
This extension works for Google reCAPTCHA
I’d be interested to know what the actual speeds will be outside of these pilot cities, and internationally. I’ve seen 10Gbps plans being advertised in my country recently, but they hide the fact that the international speeds are around 2 Gbps. (Still pretty fast, but definitely not worth the cost!)
A better question, actually: Who’s the target audience for this? Unless you routinely transfer terabytes of data daily, I don’t see why you would need anything more than 1 or 2 Gbps - and if you do need to transfer that much data, wouldn’t it be more cost-effective to lease dark fibre instead?
