Adblockers exist on iOS since like forever. You even have a dedicated tab for them in the Settings.

I personally use Ghostery to kick CMP and Vinegar to play YT videos in the built-in HTML5 player.

Is this normal No

My brand new iPhone 15 appears to have a burn in issue Call AppleCare or bring it back to the store

I don’t know if there are guillotines in the movie, but we used them until 1977 so there might be one

What the fuck is this OP?

It will depend on the power upgrade offered by the 50XX and the game development studios appetite for more power.

But TBH I don’t see Nvidia able to massively produce a 2 times faster chip without increasing its price again

Meaning, nobody will get the next gen most powerful chip, game devs will have to take that into account and the RTX 4080 will stay relevant for longer time.

Besides, according to SteamDB, most of gamers still have an RTX 2080 or less powerful GPU. They won’t sell their games if you can play it decently on those cards.

The power gap between high-ends GPUs is growing exponentially. It won’t stay sustainable very long

It really is a risky bet to make.

I doubt full price RTX 4080 SUPER upgrade will worth it over a discounted regular RTX 4080.

SUPER upgrades never crossed the +10%

I’d rather wait for the Ti version

I also heard about a gnome that might hold the secret to find it. He stand in line with us but he doesn’t cook.

If only there was another open source web engine, like some kind of kit to develop a web browser, with privacy in mind.

I don’t know, maybe I’m just daydreaming.

Of course there are unreleased 0-days, but you can’t do anything about it.

And that's exactly my point.

Using a different browser until a particular issue is fixed when you are e.g. a journalist still helps with getting hacked.

Actually no. Because you never know what currently unfixed 0-day is actively exploited in any browser. Using Gecko or Chromium today because Webkit had a security flaw yesterday doesn't make anything safer. It might comfort you, but that's it.

The only important metric is the number of 0-day discovered per year per engine. It's a matter of probability.

Changing engine would be like changing dice because you had a bad number, without knowing how many side you'll get with the new ones.

0-days that we know of

There definitely are 0-days in every major browser engines.

As a matter of fact, Mozilla is probably working on a 0-day breach that haven’t been published by security watchdogs yet.

In the meantime, that particular WebKit breach has already been patched.

There’s no point skipping places when everything is on fire. The only thing you can do is going where it’s safer on average and stay there.

That must be why iOS 15 and iOS 16 have been patched last night. /s
