I have an IoT device that pings the YouTube API every few days using my personal Google account API key, should I be concerned?

Has anyone else had experience with getting their Google account suspended? I literally use it for everything in my life, and without it I would probably lose access to a lot. I would change away from Google in a heartbeat but it just seems like too much effort if I can avoid getting my account suspended in the first place.

If anyone has gotten their account suspended, what was it for and how can I avoid it?

I love everything about this, but the landing page hurt my eyes — perhaps make it a bit less bright?

I ran into this issue many years ago, and I eventually gave up trying to increase the reputation of my mail server. For all my projects that require mailing, I've now succumbed to spoofing headers using Gmail's SMTP, which surprisingly doesn't go to spam, or using a third party mailing service like AWS.

But do you really notice that large of a weight difference between the 2015 and the 2017? Do you really use the few millimeters of space saved? I honestly can't tell much of a difference in terms of weight, though I acknowledge that there is some.

I honestly thought I wouldn't like the fake clicking, but I ended up liking it after I used it for a day!

I'm honestly the biggest Apple fanboy — I have all the newest gadgets and I use literally every one of their products, and have been for the past several years. However, this is one thing that upsets me. The MacBook doesn't need less ports, it doesn't need to be thinner.

I understand the thinning of the MacBook Pro from the 2012 model to the 2015 model (which is what I currently own, and in my opinion is the best Mac). But I definitely don't think it needed to get any thinner or lighter than that, especially if it's sacrificing ports or a good keyboard.

IMO the 2015 MacBook Pro is the best Mac out there, mainly because of its beautiful retina display, perfect weight, and most importantly, a good keyboard.

I don't understand what the point of this is. HaveIBeenPwned exists, they acknowledge (and use) their service, and offer the same exact services as they do. What's the point? It's just a reskin.

I've always used Uber because I've assumed that it's cheaper than Lyft and other rideshare services. I just realized I have no idea how much it is compared to others. Does anyone have a formal comparison up online?

I have. It simply sorts tabs by profile, rather than sorting whole windows. Think about it this way: I want to have 6 separate instances of Firefox running at the same time, where I can seamlessly switch between them. Each instance has its own theme, bookmarks, cookies, etc.

Firefox can do this, but it's not intuitive and it opens 6 different Firefox apps on my Mac, so it isn't easy to distinguish between each profile. On Chrome, I simply click the person switcher at the top right and I can switch between sessions very easily.

I have 6 profiles that I like to keep separate, and the only browser that supports seamless switching in the toolbar is Chrome. That's the only reason I continue to use it. If Firefox were to implement this, I'd immediately switch. I know there's addons that try to simluate what Chrome does, but they just aren't as easy to use and don't do exactly what I want.

Yes, but under very different management.

Never heard of this before, but it looks awesome! Do you know if rooms expire after a certain amount of time? If so I might install it on my server and have a forever running meeting.

While it's not bad, it has many features that are paid-only and the UI isn't perfect... but I suppose I was spoiled by Hangouts. Thanks for the tip.

I'm going to miss Hangouts. Anyone have any good alternatives for free and anonymous browser-based video calling?

For context, I use a permanent Google Hangouts link under my account and made a subdomain of my domain redirect to it (http://partytime.jmistri.com). Whenever I want to talk to someone or have an informal group call, I can tell them to "hop on partytime". It doesn't require an account and it's a great high-quality video call on-the-go.

I find it quite funny to see so many Quora breach emails when I first go to the site.

Their reply to your tweet pisses me off

Is it just me or is that uglier than a QR code?

Does it encrypt DNS queries like the 1.1.1.1 app though?

I've actually had a noticeable increase in speed, not sure why that's happening to you.

It's in the Netherlands, so already off to a bad start for US users in terms of latency

Yeah, definitely! Some of my friends are definitely on the slower side for typing.

I'm a senior in high school and some of this is relevant to me. I'm a self-taught programmer since the beginning of high-school (although I was pretty bad at the time, and still am), but after just a few weeks of playing around with arbitrary code, I was able to pick up the filesystem pretty easily. I took AP Computer Science last year and the basics of the filesystem were briefly taught in class, however not very in-depth and most of my classmates still don't understand it to this day.

As for typing, I'm a touch typer and have been since around 5th grade. When we started using computers at school (a new phenomenon, I know) everyone had to be able to type fast. In first grade we also had to learn how to type in the "computer lab" and for homework on our home computers, which I'm very grateful for now. I can type at around ~119 WPM now.

From a quick look at https://domains.google, it seems like all domains start at $12/year. That's definitely not wholesale.

I'm in high school. I know how to double click, I know how to work with excel spreadsheets. I plan to pursue a CS degree and eventually get an engineering job in the future. Heck, I even read Hacker News.

Yes, us teens are on our smartphones a lot, but the majority of us know how to use computers... this article is pretty misleading.
