This is so dumb that I totally beleive it

A hacker group with connections to China maintained unnoticed access to the computer network of the Eindhoven-based chip manufacturer NXP for over two years.

Ooooof

I’m surpsied (but obviously shouldn’t be) that that many potential users would instantly bounce off Firefox instead of changing the default search engine.

In Canada. Yes they do. See my comment here: https://lemmy.world/comment/4958540

Yes. Often an add on. In Canada, it’s especially the case with koodo (telus’ “discount” brand) or lum (sasktel’s).

It happens on device before your carrier. So you don’t have to pay for voicemail. Big unexpected surprise for me (as I don’t have vm). Otherwise it’s on the fly and instant. Thought I wouldn’t care but sending unknow callers there is slick.

I’d completely forgotten this happened. Wild stuff.

Nope. I’m a new convert and I love it. Laptop monitor to the left of the big landscape for random screens. It’s fantastic

But are they worse than Microsoft’s?

I don’t understand what this provides. They already make it so you don’t have to give out credit card info. Is it just to avoid bank fees in some way? Avoid banking regulation?

Detecting real video as fake seems problematic where it might lead to apathy – folks just don’t believe any video anymore. Similar to Trump’s “everything is fake news” approach

The main mystery is the fact that adults of the same insect species don’t have any gearing—as the juveniles grow up and their skin molts away, they fail to regrow these gear teeth, and the adult legs are synchronized by an alternate mechanism (a series of protrusions extend from both hind legs, and push the other leg into action).

Burrows and Sutton hypothesize that this could be explained by the fragility of the gearing: if one tooth breaks, it limits the effectiveness of the design. This isn’t such a big problem for the juveniles, who repeatedly molt and grow new gears before adulthood, but for the mature Issus, replacing the teeth would be impossible—hence the alternate arrangement.

Well that’s exceptionally neat
