Very cool, but as someone who has difficulty swallowing pills, I doubt I could get that down. Maybe if my life depended on it.

henfredemars ,

That's one of the most metal things I've ever seen.

henfredemars ,

The bug fixes themselves can have massive cognitive overhead. I’ve spent hours thinking about a problem to make a very small change. It takes focus to fix complex problems correctly.

henfredemars ,

If only. The past couple jobs I’ve had, everyone acts as if they have multiple jobs. It’s a rare privilege to be focused on a few responsibilities only.

henfredemars ,

Just be careful you don’t store the cup on earth, else it would have to contain itself.

Technically speaking, can’t any impact with the ground be considered an earthquake?

henfredemars ,

Title doesn’t really follow the data from the article. Updating your smartphone doesn’t appear to be related to the RAT investigated here. Rather, the researchers note older devices were targeted more often.

This could be an incidental finding.

henfredemars ,

I want my blob faces back. Especially blob kiss with heart.

henfredemars ,

Oh that face. It reminds me of meeting my wife and I became attached to the emoji.

henfredemars ,

It’s a close family-friend’s birthday. We’re going to visit a local Oddities Expo event tomorrow, so that should be a fun little adventure.

henfredemars ,

And we have wide instructions that can process this data, such as for multimedia applications.

Addressing and memory size has been the historic motivator for wider registers, but it’s probably not going to be in my lifetime that I see the need for 128.

henfredemars ,

Didn’t they just come out with that recently?

On Android 10 and higher, is GSF ID of the device visible and accessible to all apps downloaded on the device? Or only to privileged apps?

Is Google Services Framework ID (GSF ID) of the device visible and accessible to all apps downloaded on the device on Android 10 and higher? Or is the GSF ID only visible and accessible to privileged apps?

henfredemars ,

There are apps in the store that claim they can show you your ID. Why don’t you try one, and see what permissions it comes with? I don’t think you can install a privileged app directly so this would be a useful test.

henfredemars ,

It’s better for your mental health, too.

It disables sign in on my VPN with “unknown error.”

I found a recent article by them that said it was outpacing inflation for a month in the sense that wages were growing in real value, which is an incredibly weak standard.

Practically speaking they should be doubled or more to come close to affordability for many Americans.

I have actually done this! Unfortunately I won’t get to enjoy it.

There’s also a couple other conditions that checks and if they match it sends out information that can be used to recover my data for those who need it.

Nothing like tart raspberries on cheesecake, myself. But this looks excellent.

henfredemars ,

Man I knew something like this was going to happen. Just be glad Google doesn’t block your access to all their services or just outright delete your account. On the bright side, you’d be set free.

henfredemars OP ,

Thank you! I'm going to try walking through this first.

henfredemars ,

I recognize that bun!

Modern Internet archaeologist.

henfredemars ,

It bothers me how inefficient it is. I’ll pull up to a light and there will be what, maximum of ten people occupying all of this space? The giant trucks and SUVs make it look all the more ridiculous.

A couple tons per person to transport… People.

And don’t get me started on all the wasted space occupied by these parking lots.

henfredemars ,

Is there a great way to contribute from mobile?

henfredemars ,

Automation-prone fields like writing, software, and app development saw a 21% decrease in job listings

Maybe, but hard disagree that software is being automated away.

henfredemars ,

It’s the concentration of money and its interests. It corrupts purpose.

Missing type or identifier.

A const what?

Also, I read that you have to assign a const when it is declared. Something doesn’t feel right about this statement.

henfredemars ,

Mozilla has no plans to deprecate MV2

Love it. Add-on support is the greatest strength of Firefox. Let’s not make that mistake again for as long as we possibly can.

henfredemars ,

In principle it is cool, but large corporations can still bully you into submission even when it should fall under Fair Use.

henfredemars ,

It’s ridiculous. I think the law should be written with the expectation that the common citizen cannot afford legal counsel for an unlimited period of time.

I am not a lawyer.

henfredemars ,

I don’t believe humans are meant to manage loss in this way — stretching out an imitation of our loved one. As painful as it is, I personally believe humans need to say goodbye. I feel this gets in the way of feeling and truly accepting the loss so that a person can move forward.

Loss is truly heavy, but I do not believe this is better or healthy.

I had this conversation with my wife once. I let her know that it is my advance wish that you must allow me to complete the cycle of life. Anything else, any reconstruction of me that technology allows, is to me, an abomination. Keep the pictures, keep the memories, but don’t keep me here when I am gone.

I refrain from judging the decisions of others where possible, but this is my personal wish.

henfredemars ,

Meant, in this context, refers to the conditions that humans have faced over a long period of time and may be more suited to coping with from a survival point of view. I'm an atheist, so I find it strange that you chose to read my comment as highlighting intentional design. Certainly, AI has existed for a much shorter time than the phenomenon on a human encountering the death of a loved one. Indeed, death has been quite a common theme throughout history, and the tools and support available to cope with it and relate to other human experiences far exceed those for coping with the potential issues that come with AI.

I think one can absolutely speak of needs and adaptation for something as common a human experience as death. If you find something belittling about that opinion, I'm not sure how to address you further. I may simply have to be wrong.

henfredemars OP ,

That’s why I use a USB condom.

henfredemars OP ,

Lockdown mode was introduced in 2018’s Android 9 Pie release as an optional feature users could add to their power menu. When enabled, lockdown mode hides notifications and disables all forms of authentication except for the user’s primary authentication (PIN, password, or pattern). In Android 12, Google made the lockdown mode toggle appear by default in the Android power menu, though some OEMs hide it or offer their own, similar version of the feature elsewhere.

Android 15 will further restrict USB access in this mode to help defend against attacks.

henfredemars OP ,

Yes, but the data pins are still connected and talking to some software. That software can have vulnerabilities.

It’s more secure to allow no communication whatsoever, whereas it’s extremely hard to prove that any software is free of vulnerabilities.

henfredemars OP ,

It’s smart! Do not expose logic without first supposing an appropriate level of trust. Software can have errors.

henfredemars ,

Anyone who wants to become a cat should be able to.

henfredemars ,

Is Safari even available on Android?

Comparison on iPhone is meaningless because they all have to use the same Safari WebKit engine per Apple policy.

Thank you for this work! I’ve been very interested in the topic but haven’t been bothered to actually test.

Are you intending to provide this relative power data to browser developers?

henfredemars ,

Hard to blame Apple. I mean, for a good chunk of time that app hardly had content standards at all. It was effectively unmoderated for a time due to bad management.
