It actually seems more like a windows 10 compatibility dilemma for developers. You can support older systems but it would require some effort. The problem is not the absence of some specific certificates, but the absence of newer ciphers altogether.

This does give security but also removes backwards compatibility with some clients that might be important for some websites.

Judging by the size, just another electron app.

The folks who only know JavaScript and refuse to learn more deserve to be blamed for electron’s (and similar) continued existence, and therefore for excessive resource usage.

I think always? It just randomly goes into constant excessive CPU usage and only killing a tab process helps. It seems to me a general issue with too complex design and people tend to not report it much because YouTube lags pretty much as is already.

Is there any working link?

Yes, that’s correct.

It’s almost 20 mb.

We need a community to showcase various UI hacks for Firefox.

Chances are it didn’t involve the OS source code. If you read the article, previously Microsoft reported about source code for service components like Exchange, Azure etc.

No such effect for me. Some cheap Samsung AMOLED here.

What?

The performance is really bad though, can’t see it improving any time soon. Maybe it has to do with how it relies on wasm.

but we didn’t!

Well maybe that was a mistake.

Knowing the messages can only originate from a sealed application on a first party device eliminates a whole class of spam and security problems.

It conveniently appears to also eliminate some amount of responsibility. Seriously? Was it not known that it’s possible to debug even 1st party apps? Was it not already obvious that walled gardens are only good before they got cracked?

A huge security risk for Apple users

I wish engineers would stop using the word security just because they like it. Apple should try to prevent threats like pegasus instead of telling everyone that blue bubbles are a security risk.

and to zero benefit for Android users

Yeah, it’s more useful for apple users so they wouldn’t need to resort to unencrypted messages when talking to Android users.

Let Apple implement RCS as they promised and move on. Isn’t everyone on Telegram or WhatsApp anyway…?

Heh. I wish to see apple say the same in their statement of decision to shut down iMessage.

It’s just pointless.

Yeah. Apple doesn’t understand the community concerns, it only understands court decisions. Though sometimes these two have some connection.

“Effectively stealing” means the original machine ID can’t be used by the original machine after it’s stolen, right?

Do people like relying on service that requires their real device’s serial number to function?

Steam is using CEF v85 (not Electron but still). Should have gone “please be aware to not visit even slightly shady websites until we update it” but instead went “oh you must like security, so we announce that we will drop Windows 7/8 support in half a year (because CEF Microsoft doesn’t support it anymore) so you could play your games more securely”.

Another app I use sometimes (Time Squared) got a similar UI update recently and I hate it. Used to be a simple app that just worked. Now it takes about 5 seconds just to load, switching to another menu takes about a second. These fancy web frameworks need to get some rest.

It doesn’t seem like the problem in question is yours to begin with though. Maybe the train will get stopped or people will get released.
