This is what happens when you build software on another company's platform. Why put your time making plugins for VS Code when rug can be pulled from under any time?

To solve the banking apps problem with root:

1. Root your phone 2. Install Adaway and update hosts 3. Unroot your phone.

It just takes a system restart to unroot. Then all banking apps work fine. If I need root again, I can just flash Magisc zip file again. Easy enough.

But nowadays just setting up adguard's DNS in Android's private DNS settings is enough to get Adaway like effect without root.

How about some kind of Firewall which sends requests only to trusted domains and blocks everything else?

Google Chat and Meet as well as Slack just work fine for us.

Einstein wasn't wasting time on social media. Maybe you need to free up your mind's resources to focus on the things you want to do.

Get good at something else which has competitions. For example, e-sport games, chess etc. Now you have something else apart from your job where you can succeed.

Just do a google search and see actual events instead of some statistics.

I would just put that guy's email in the spam folder and forget about it. Adding fuel to the fire by sending a response like that might cause more harm than good.

Just use Bootstrap and axios library for making API requests to your REST API endpoints. You can find lots of free/paid templates and themes for Bootstrap.

Doesn't Android allow you to select which category of notifications you want to receive? That can be useful here.

Why do you have to check anything manually? Just install their apps and receive push notifications for them. You can also make the notifications silent to reduce distractions.

Or if your phone supports notification badges on icons, just place their icons on home screen and you'll notice what app has updates by just checking the badge counts.

Just buy another Pixel 4A. There must be a brand new model still available with some retailer.

Procrastination. Just do less work today to get more free time for relaxation. Obviously depends on urgency of your work.

I just use keyboard shortcuts to snap the window to left/right side or to expand again. I've been pretty happy with this arrangment and never need to drag the window manually.

I used to visit to get new custom Firefox themes. Now a days Firefox isn't that much customizable anymore so I don't visit if either.

Anyone tried changing the user agent?

There is "Open" in its name. Author probably doesn't want anyone to create more closed source software using it.

Merry Christmas to everyone!! Lets hope next year the covid situation improves more.

You can invest in mutual funds which invest in foreign companies. Creating online accounts for direct mutual funds investments is fully digital using Video KYC.

There is no pricing information on your main site either.

Apple might still collect its 30% by asking for accounting records later.

Those who pay the attackers might have no other choice. Sure they should have taken backups. But right now they don't have any. What else can they do? Maybe government can enact laws asking to maintain backups regularly in critical industries.

It is not preventative in the sense that you can't ask millions of people to get chemotherapy just in case.

Deception? It can confuse the target about the motives of the attack.

I am a shady company who wants to take down a competitor. I can hire a hacker who'll do the dirty job for me and then get paid in cold hard cash. Or a nation state actor can decide to attack an enemy country's infrastructure.

Ransomware won't stop even if you don't pay up. Just destroying the target by data loss can be a sufficient reason for any attacker. No payment needed.
