  • Show 'em, that’ll teach these nasty fanboys! Reads like writing that got you a big dopamine rush.

    I agree, commenting “Use Firefox!!!1!11” on every post remotely related to (other) browsers doesn’t help anybody, just like commenting “Use Linux!!!1!11” on every post about a vulnerability in Windows doesn’t contribute anything meaningful at all.

    Look, I also disagree with what Mozilla is doing here and yes, they 100% deserve the flak they are getting for it. But - like most things in life - it’s not black and white. Firefox could still be less intrusive to your privacy than Chrome (I’m not saying it necessarily is, but it could be that way). A different example: your mail provider could track every time you login to your account, or it could analyze and track the content of every email you receive. One is clearly worse than the other, right?

    Which browser(s) do you recommend/use?













  • I had an “Unknown” app using my microphone on the Apple Watch from time to time. Turns out it was the handwashing detection. Nowadays it’s labelled correctly.

    This can also be an app that you (very) recently deleted, but as the dot is still showing it’s indicating that the microphone is in use right at this moment. I would assume it’s a system service that isn’t properly labelled (maybe something to do with iOS 18 being so new and it was an oversight), but I don’t know which system service would need to use the microphone.

    Is this persistent across reboots?
