Why not just use a browser based password manager? Just works. You need only one tool that gets updated. And Browser vendors are extremely vigilant about security. All platforms covered.

are they Americans?

I think it is misunderstanding to think that Phd Salaries will increase to high level if immigrants left. Will NIH or NSF dump 3 x more money? If that is the case are civil servants in USA getting super great salary (a friend works for DMV in NJ and she says pay is awful)

Who is the one that discriminates? You mean the white american prof?

Note to CoPilot. Create a new restricted OS that will never connect to Internet.

that their issues are usage-blocking

What?

Sure - if one has some weird hardware? or need to use some specialist windows only software/workflow.

they are just fucking annoying

are either solvable without a comp sci degree,

with that argument - even ChromeOS is great. Just works. Especially for all the school kids without compsci degree or even Amazon staff (that use a modified form of chrome OS).

People like you doomsayed Chromebooks too. And?

What the cost of these Kompanio Ultra 910 based chromebooks? like > $800?

That does not make sense. Many people don't want 1TB RAM machines to carry around.

Do you mean you just don't follow instructions?

I don't understand the downvotes. Literally every single German email provider took like 5 years to implement 2FA. Even now lots of security issues with many German providers that claim privacy. Even so-called DE-mail was sham. Still somehow people assume FAANG is crap in data security. (Yes, I am not demanding privacy from ANY MultiNational company)

Do you mean fines for tiny companies?

I would not go that far to say all govts are like that. The main problem is majority of citizens cannot easily remember such things. Even simple PIN that is included in EU ID cards - most people don't remember or use. people want frictionless use.

Another point (but my common observation) is the responsibility. By going SaaS or using cloud - any kind of data protection, rules/responsibility etc is moved away. and in many ways it is better - Google, dropbox or Onedrive will have better PR to take the pain if something goes crazy. Tickbox compliance is easy.

Many Unis have stopped doing this - due to the current RAM/SSD price hikes.

This. Especially lots of i5-6300U based corporate laptops like latitude are on eBay etc for < 100$

Matthew Forsyth, Director of Product Management, Google Play Developer Experience & Chief Product Explainer, said the system isn’t a sideloading restriction, but an “Accountability Layer.”

And... What about accountability for hosting distributing spyware, malware loaded apps from Google Playstore and hundreds of copy cat, misleading apps?

Why can't they pose a question when the phone is setup?

- Yes, I want to sideload

- No I dont want

If the user says NO then to later enable it to allow sideload Yes, the user needs to factory reset phone. Done.

Sure.

Google Has Most of My Email Because It Has All of Yours

Account creation needs phone number?

Wow.. you are the one loving thunderbird. The ridiculous idea of removing menubar and if you enable that - it wastes valuable screenspace.

This is definitely an edge case. Most UI/UX from Google is very consistent and just works. Otherwise they won't be in this market.

Only UI/UX issue is that most experienced users want to not adapt to change. It is like people always telling Windows 7 is the best. Don't keep reinventing.

Another one that irks me is every UI/UX dev assumes people have 2 x 4K monitors and menu items overflow.

This depends on the CDN. Lets say you are using google or cloudflare CDN. They have more engineers and better security processes – and work 24X7 -365 days – continuous monitoring – than you remembering to download jquery update. What about if you are on holiday (post/pre COVID era)? BA is not the best example… Rename your article to: Please stop using ‘unknown CDNs’…

This is not strictly 'Bypassing' MDM.

Sure you get a device that you can flash/root/reinstall - but will it be authenticated/allow login by Google/Your company?

Here our objective was not to break the crypto or recover the data, it was to remove any MDM application and remove all restrictions on the device.

Yes you can remove - resell device. But MDM is not designed to prevent reinstall/selling/whatever.

Beyond Corp principles:

A particular network connection must not determine which services a user can access. Access to services is granted based on what we know about a user and the device. All access to services must be authenticated, authorized and encrypted.

Are you able to authorise device with your company/google? We are listening...

if anyone from mozilla is reading hn, the link on the pop-up box 'Get the Lockbox app' go to 'apple appstore' even if I click on the Google Play icon.

  > in the UK, you can open an account in minutes on your mobile phone with any photo ID, even if you're not a UK resident.

May be switch off your devices. Restart router to get a new ip. - get a new phone and try. Perhaps one device is having malware.

Well overall Cook is right but... apple needs to provide alternatives to the common people!

1. There is no equivalent for Facebook and apple cannot build a one with privacy 2. There is none from Google-Search and apple has not built one 3. About WhatsApp? (iMessages - yes only within walled garden!) 4. Google groups-? 5. Browser? Safari? 6. Calendar -> Even creating a icloud account needs iDevice 7. Cant create more than 2 Apple account from same iphone!

Can u recommend me one? Very much interested in itx with 12V power. Thanks
