Not quite, the FBI is asking for help on this particular phone... for which it may or may not be too late. I'm pondering future cases, where if you end up say on the no fly list, the FBI orders Apple to opt you into the low-sec update patch which supports pre-emptive monitoring & trivial encryption bypassing if your phone happens to end up with the FBI during an investigation.
Yes, quite. Apple's Tim Cook said it best:
"Some would argue that building a backdoor for just one iPhone is a simple, clean-cut solution. But it ignores both the basics of digital security and the significance of what the government is demanding in this case.
In today’s digital world, the “key” to an encrypted system is a piece of information that unlocks the data, and it is only as secure as the protections around it. Once the information is known, or a way to bypass the code is revealed, the encryption can be defeated by anyone with that knowledge."
If this goes through, Opera is getting ripped out of every computer I had it on. Time to go looking for a replacement browser.
The difference in culture surrounding privacy between the Chinese and Norwegians is the dark side of Earth's moon to Mercury's sun-side.
Yup, here too. Though I've begun using Vivaldi on my desktop(s) as my main browser, I do still use Opera when I need another browser and on my mobile devices. Sad times, my friend. Sad times.
Vivaldi MUST hurry with it's stability and polish. I've been using the snapshot release(s) as my main browser for a couple months now, but still put up with a few stupid annoying bugs -- mainly extension-related. But I absolutely LOVE how customizable the interface is -- I was able to bring back my most-beloved Opera feature, tabs on the side! Everything else they're doing is so in that Opera Presto vein, that we Opera fans do truly now have a successor to the Opera Presto line. It'll be so much better once things stabilize!
What's in line for 48.0? The download is a static JPEG of the Welcome to Firefox website proclaiming how it's the fastest and smallest browser on the market?What's in line for 48.0?

You've got the functionality nailed down, but it'll still somehow manage to use a gig and half of ram to do it.
...but Vivaldi hates two out of three computers that I use it on and I have to start it from the command line as they've yet to give me an option to disable hardware acceleration via the GUI.
I'm sure you have, but think I'll ask anyways. Have you checked in vivaldi://flags?
My story is very similar, having been a longtime Opera Presto user. Much weeping, and gnashing of teeth on my part. Just as you said, right around ver. 25, Opera became good again and I could do away with the constant jumping between Chromium and FF (and Opera) and use it as my main browser again. But then, I learned of Vivaldi, which is Opera Presto at heart! It's snapshots have finally reached a point for me that I can use it as my primary browser, and it's been working great. I definitely recommend it to ALL previous Opera Presto fans!
It's more than that - ZFS is basically taking fast snapshots and syncing just the deltas between the latest snapshot and the previous snapshot, which are blocks. Files and pointers don't matter - it's syncing individual changed blocks. You change one letter in a file, it's not syncing the whole file - just the changed block. It's substantially more efficient.
Exactly, and it's why ZFS' transfer speed is so much faster and does not go up with the size of the file (as rsync does), as shown in the article.
One of the only features I enjoyed using FF for. Goodbye and good riddance. I use Opera primarily (still, unfortunately) and FF as a backup, among others. That job will now go to Chrome, I suppose. I'm tired of the direction FF is headed. If only Vivaldi could mature, it's easily the better browser out of the others I mentioned (Opera Presto fan).
I've been following the snapshot diligently, and as a huge fan of Presto Opera, it's almost everything that I've been missing (still currently using Opera w/Blink). The one deal-breaker for me is the fact that a few of my absolutely extensions don't work properly.
Fucking EA bro. The fuck everything the touch. Another CLASSIC they killed (among others, but this is the one which causes a blood-lusting hatred of EA) is Sim City. STILL waiting on an actual sequel to SC4, smfh

The Vivaldi interface is very customizable, like Opera Presto. E.g., I have my tabs on the side -- ideal for a wide-screen resolution, IMHO.

Interesting. I have tried Otter before...but only for a small time. Think I'll test it out again (given they have an OS X port).

Oh, so badly do I wish I had mod points, lol!!!

Was going to mention uMatrix! Great minds think alike lol.

Likewise, except s/Fedora/Arch
So he just loses his career instead of jail time. Fair trade off, right?
Right? No conflict of interest there whatsoever, yeah? /s
SMFH.

"If you're an Android user that makes heavy use of Google's Chrome web browser (and what Android user doesn't?)"
Uh, this one. Guess I'm lucky I'm an avid Opera fan, heh.
"...as Apple has a history of buying companies for various reasons other the products."

Posting anonymous since I modded already, however, this is why uMatrix is so awesome...
My thought's exactly when I read the title. Odd that they're the US's largest such service.
Lol, just posted something similar. Agreed with the Florida Mall being an odd location to place this store.
Being that I'm from Orlando...not often we get the first of something -__-
I'm waitin on Devuan for this exact purpose
