    Appreciate you adding the ability to manage STUN and especially TURN servers because this is sorely lacking in so many tools.

    The unfortunate reality in my experience seems to be that a very large percentage of users are behind symmetric NAT on both ends, making TURN necessary for WebRTC to work at all.


  • PayPay’s server fell victim to a hacking attack, originating in Brazil, on November 28, 2020. As per the operator of PayPay, a server containing personal and financial information of its entire userbase was compromised. The company acknowledged that configuration flaws led to unauthorized access to information. The service operator was later notified of the incident and preventive measures were taken.

    Japanese consumers are historically very privacy-conscious and afraid of identity theft, so it’s no surprise to me that they don’t want to use services like this. Even credit card usage in Japan is extremely low compared to the rest of the world.

    Their usual cashless payment methods like Suica/etc. are anonymous and have been in widespread use since the early 2000s, so I predict that will continue to be the preferred payment method (besides cash) for the forseeable future.


  • potentially escaping the notion that because Qt is C++, it is not as safe to use.

    How does this even potentially escape the notion? Qt is still C++, and still unsafe, no matter what you use for the rest of your application. And the fact that Widgets is being left out in the cold doesn’t sit well with me either.

    They still won’t even say what these “bridges” are, other than it “does not necessarily replace existing bindings”. Does that mean it’s still yet another binding?

    What would have been really nice IMO are some plain C bindings, for both widgets and QML.
