Over the past month or so, many YouTubers have been reporting major drops to their video view counts. Theories have run wild, but there’s one explanation involving ad blockers that makes the most sense, but YouTube isn’t confirming anything directly. Since mid-August, many YouTubers have noticed their view counts are considerably lower than they were before, in some cases with very drastic drops. The reason for the drop, though, has been shrouded in mystery for many creators. The most likely e

Firefox 143 for Android to introduce DoH

news.ycombinator.com Neha Kochar 2025-09-23 19:14:04

All web browsing starts with a DNS query to find the IP address for the desired service or website. For much of the internet’s history, this query is sent in the clear. DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) plugs this privacy leak by encrypting the DNS messages, so no one on the network, not your internet service provider or a free public WiFi provider, can eavesdrop on your browsing. In 2020, Firefox became the first browser to roll out DoH by default, starting in the United States and in 2023, we announced

At multiple points over many years, Apple executives have taken great pains to point out that they think touchscreen Macs are a silly idea.

iPhone Air review: The thinnest iPhone ever, but at what cost?

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-09-24 04:00:21

Every so often, Apple makes a design decision that draws a line in the sand. One that feels like a delineation between one era and the next. The iPhone Air is that kind of device. It’s strikingly thin and sets a new standard for how an iPhone should feel in your hand. The iPhone Air is also an example of the compromises that come with pushing the design boundaries of a form factor. The question is whether it correctly strikes that balance.

But although my conscience has controlled my actions, my opinions have undergone a revolution.
