I half expected the report to start with..
 
"Hello viewers, I'm the spiffing brit and today I'm going to tell Valve how I broke their wallet system to gain infinite money so sit back, make sure you're comfy and have a nice warm cup of Yorkshire tea ready"

Essentially, what guitargirl15 said. You will also want to check out: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/runtime/onInstalled. This event handler can be added to your background page, and will fire whenever a user install/update your extension.
 
Something like this:
browser.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(details => { if(details.reason == "install") { browser.tabs.create({ url: "https://example.com" //Your page goes here }); } });  
You can also store the page inside your extension and use:
browser.runtime.getURL("/path/to/mywebpage.html") to get a URL for it.

So in summary, since they can't verify which domain someone is trying to access, they block the entire connection.
Since non-ESNI connections contain some plaintext info about which domain the connection is made to, they can verify that the domain is on their approved list and the connection (might) be allowed.
 
I wonder how they will handle it if sites start dropping support for the older, less encrypted, standards. Will they just require websites allowed from inside China to stick with the old protocols? Will they MITM all encrypted connections? That would be a massive security risk.
With a bit of luck, the great firewall of China might be starting to fail. But my guess is that the Chinese government will take to very radical changes and legislation to keep the wall from falling.
 
You can't just give people access to uncensored and unfiltered knowledge, right!? That would be a disaster!

Any method whos return type is not void, will return a value.
For example:
int myVar = Math.round(1.5); Math.round is an example of a method which returns a value. In this case, it will take 1 argument (a float/double) and return that value, rounded to the nearest whole number. In this case, myVar will have a value of 2.
 
If you check the java docs, you can see the parameters for each method, and what it returns.
 
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Math.html#round-double-

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that.
 
The showMessageDialog function creates a dialog based on the arguments passed to it ( The stuff in the () ). It doesn't return any values.

public static void showMessageDialog(Component parentComponent, Object message) https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/swing/JOptionPane.html#showMessageDialog-java.awt.Component-java.lang.Object-
 
showMessageDialog doesn't return anything. So change:
a = JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "b is "+ b); to:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "b is "+ b);

Since the release of the HDMI 2.1 master specification in November 2017, I have seen many people who expect HDMI 2.1 monitors to start coming out at this point, but this is actually impossible at the current time. This is because the testing procedures for determining HDMI 2.1 compliance have not been written yet. The HDMI Forum is still at work drafting version 2.1 of the HDMI Compliance Test Specification, or HDMI CTS, which is a separate document from the HDMI Specification. The HDMI CTS is the document used to certify products as "HDMI 2.1 compliant", not the HDMI specification, which mainly describes how all the features operate at the bit level so engineers can start working on hardware that will do those things.
 
The release of the master specification is when engineers begin designing products, it typically takes at least a year (usually more) after the release of the specification before products implementing it are released (with exceptions for companies like Sony, who are one of the principle designers of HDMI and thus have a special advantage when it comes to developing hardware for new versions).
 
Up to this point there has been no HDMI 2.1 CTS at all; the HDMI Forum had stated that it will be released in parts, beginning in late 2018. They appear to be on schedule with that claim, as the HDMI.org FAQ has been recently updated this month with the release of the first part of the HDMI 2.1 CTS:
 
https://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_2_1/  (archive)
 
I should also note that you should watch out (in general) for "HDMI 2.1" devices that will inevitably appear on the market. "HDMI 2.1" is not a feature that you support or don't support. It is the version of the document that is used to design HDMI devices.
 
The HDMI 2.1 specification supersedes the HDMI 2.0 specification and therefore the HDMI 2.1 will be referenced for all new designs. Even if you are designing a 4K 60 Hz TV and don't plan on using any new features from the new specification, you don't dig into your file cabinet and pull out an old version of the specification to design from. You would always use the newest one available. All designs that are valid under the HDMI 2.0 specification will also be valid designs under the HDMI 2.1 specification, you don't select which version of the document to use based on what features you want, you always refer to the newest version of the document.
 
Beyond that, the HDMI "version" has no official meaning. When a product claims to have an "HDMI 2.1 port", maybe they just mean they used the HDMI 2.1 specification when designing the product, which doesn't necessarily mean they implemented any of the new features described; they could also mean to say that their product is compliant with the HDMI 2.1 CTS, to which the same applies; you don't have to implement any new features to be compliant with the CTS.
 
There have in fact already been AV receivers released months ago with "HDMI 2.1" ports despite that fact that the compliance test wasn't even written yet. The "HDMI 2.1" claim has no meaning, since it does not actually imply anything (even though people will assume things from it things like 48 Gbit/s bandwidth and such). They seem to have implemented eARC, but they don't claim anything else of substance.
 
https://www.avsforum.com/yamaha-rx-v385-av-receiver-implements-hdmi-2-1/
 
We actually had this same problem when HDMI 2.0 was released, AV receivers quickly started claiming "HDMI 2.0" support, but in fact some were still limited to HDMI 1.4 bandwidth and features (it was harder to tell in this case, because they could still claim to support "4K 60 Hz"—just only with YCBCR 4:2:0 subsampling, which falls within HDMI 1.4-level bandwidth). These new "HDMI 2.1" receivers I expect are the same old story.
 
https://www.audioholics.com/hdtv-formats/hdmi-2.0-hdcp-2.2
 
So, be very careful when you see "HDMI 2.1" products. A version number does not imply anything at all about its feature support.
 
This is precisely why the HDMI licensing authority banned the use of HDMI version numbers in product labeling and promotion back in 2012 (or 2009 for cables). HDMI devices are properly described by listing their actual capabilities (i.e. HDMI port with ARC, VRR, 48 Gbit/s bandwidth, or for cables a "High Speed HDMI cable" or "Standard Speed HDMI cable", etc.), not with a version number which doesn't actually imply anything. Of course, this is somewhat cumbersome notation which not everyone is happy with (people like version numbers), and the policy is not enforced very strongly, but there it is.
 
In any case, the HDMI Forum has released only Part 1 of the HDMI 2.1 CTS. The remainder of the HDMI 2.1 CTS is not yet complete, and it is therefore at this time still impossible for an "HDMI 2.1 compliant" product or cable to exist, since there is nothing for them to comply with yet.
 
Any product claiming to be "HDMI 2.1 compliant" right now, or any HDMI cables that claim to have an Ultra High Speed certification, are fake. (For clarity, it is the claim of certification that is fake; a new product could very well support all the new HDMI 2.1 features (it's just unlikely, in this amount of time); technically if someone had magic super fast engineers they could design hardware capable of performing the tasks described in the master specification from day 1 of release, there is nothing stopping them from doing that. But they cannot possibly have certified compliant products until the HDMI 2.1 CTS is complete.)

Anyway, the takeaway is that we are now 1 step closer to implementation of HDMI 2.1 into the market, which is cool. Personally, I expect that it will still be another year or so before products which implement meaningful 2.1-specific capabilities actually become available for purchase, likely with the next wave of 4K 144 Hz displays (in fact I expect that the availability of HDMI 2.1 silicon will actually dictate when that particular wave of products will occur, but we'll see ).

It's nice but I cannot see it changing anything. All a company has to do is give some date and just keep pushing it back until they're ready to release.

Apple has banned Vulkan on their platforms as they want everybody to use Metal. They don't allow Nvidia and AMD to release Vulkan drivers for OSX.
 
For that reason Valve recently paid a 3rd party company to open source a Vulkan to Metal abstraction layer known as MoltenVK so that any dev could use that Tech with no royalties
 
In light of this news now we have a deeper understanding of why Valve felt that move is necessary. There is a community of Steam games on OSX. Not comparable to Windows but still...
 
They have also deprecated openCL

So yes, youtubers do still get paid.

Most cases of exploding phone battery are usually the result of someone buy a genuine replacement battery or a genuine charger so some sketchy ass guy who insist its the real deal. So even if phone x catches on fire, it probably isn't company x fault.

Have you made sure that your date and time is set correctly?

On the S8, you want to go to Settings > Display > Screen mode and change to mode to Basic for sRGB.
 
Info about what each mode does:

The fuck does NASA want with my info. Do you know something I don't?!?

I mean, you could just get a microwave or toaster and plug it in and put it next to your computer..but nah, that's a dumb idea.

The headphone aren't the problem, the 'bluetooth dongle' is.
 
That product looks sketchy as hell. Yeah, it's likely fake.

Lol. That might be exactly what it is. Weird though.

To be honest, I couldn't care less. End up being worth it if you buy from Amazon regualrly anyways.
 
Edit: Oh, it only seems to be a change for US customers. Price is remaining the same here in the UK.
