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.

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

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

Gecko has its own problems. Installing Gecko would fix that webkit security breach for sure, but you would end up with gecko’s security breach. So in the end it doesn’t change anything.

It has been patched in Safari Technology Preview 173. We are currently running 181.

Apple released security patches for iOS 15 and iOS 16 yesterday besides iOS 17.1

I’m pretty sure it has been solved already.

I thought it was Mel Gibson in Brave Heart.

I got a 30 GPU cores M2 Max running the Public Beta of macOS Sonoma.

I just installed Whisky and followed the guide.

After that I just created a bottle and run Steam.exe which I then use as an installer and launcher. Super easy to use.

Not every game is working OOTB yet, but I guess it’s a matter of updates. I didn’t dig too much for that reason.

One weird thing I noticed is that CyberPunk is capped at about 30 FPS, no matter the settings.

Being a Mac user, this year is indeed a good year.

I’ve been a very longtime WoW player but couldn’t stand the game anymore. I dropped it after a few months of Classic WOTLK (my personal fav) both out of boredom and because Blizzard contempt for macOS users

Finding a game that I love and runs natively wasn’t easy but it finally happened. I never was an hardcore gamer (except maybe in the early days of WoW) so I never felt the need to get a dedicated PC (I had a PC but it only ran macOS and Manjaro)

I’m currently playing Metro Exodus and BG3 (which I absolutely love even in EA). I also bought REV, NMS and Cliff Empire, but they weren’t for me.

The other game changer is Game Porting ToolKit which allows me to test a whole bunch of Windows only games thanks to a friend who added me to its Steam family.

Most of the games run smoothly enough for me (60FPS) so I guess the times I was thinking about buying a gaming rig are over. This money will go in some overpriced Mac option.

Anyway, I never spent that much money in video games. It definitely must be a sign.

Yeah but he sold his soul to the Devil, and that’s why he looks like an half-baked turtle getting out of the butthole of a sheep at 81
