Hey, first of all, I love to see the custom rom scene still doing its thing. I think we need to keep fighting to keep our phones as open and as 'ours' as possible. But we, and I mean, a big 'we' as everyone in XDA Develo

Then go with Oneplus. 2 years and 2 months and my oneplus 3 with dual sim or 1 sim/ 1 sd card is still working perfectly fine and receiving updates, getting Android P before 2019 (in theory)

On Qualcomm SoCs, a chunk of the memory area is reserved for the baseband, and another section is reserved for TrustZone kernel, but it does the same as an integrated GPU in a PC. Then it connects via a pseudo tty with a kernel driver, but

In Spain at least, from a good ISP, and buying as a Business. Here you get two segments, mostly. Residential, which will leave you with banned SMTP and public IPs marked as spam everywhere. If you buy as a business, and from a trusted ISP,

At work we used Ironports for years until Cisco, as usual,started making a mess. Nowadays we use Mailcleaner with a little bit of tweaking in a VM. It's a little worse than IronPort when Ironport was good, but so much better than what

I would say it is one of the most _feature complete_ email client, but I don't think it is a good email software. I've seen it crash too many times at the worst possible timings, and, latest updates have rendered almost unusable w

I don't doubt any of that. But recently I had to choose a framework, and after evaluating all our choices, I ended up choosing plain ol' php, and as vanilla as we could get javascript. For a lot of reasons, but the most important

Not at all, and I assume they will be hiding as much as they can to avoid as many problems as they can, but that's not my point. If you have a problem with something, you don't keep playing with it when you know it's going to

I don't care about Tesla at all, not a fan boy or anything, but I don't understand all the blaming on Tesla for this accident. So, the guy had complained 'between 7 and 10 times' about Autopilot malfunctioning there, yet

No, by default, root has an undefined password and cannot log in from a terminal or ssh, but that doesn't mean it doesnt exist. If you make a SSH key for the root user and place it on his folder you wont need to set up a password and w

No, root is root and has always been there. It's the super user account and cannot be removed, I think, from any modern unix like os (well, you can rename it to whatever you want in linux but UID 0 will always be there). The difference

Your best bet will be with NXP then. They still haven't released the i.MX8 cpus, but i.MX7 boards are available (up to dual core 1.2GHz), and, as far as I know, they are the only (decent, omap3 & 4 don't have enough power thes

I can't even count the times they say Macbook Pro... Can't they just let the product shine by itself instead of trying to make the competition look bad? Do they really need to get that low? Don't get me wrong, I dislike 99% o

Well, this is my personal opinion but here it goes. It's not about our rights, it's about public health. Cigarrettes should be illegal, and all the companies making these products shluld be banned. This is costing the entire world

My 2015 Macbook Pro Retina works pretty well with Kubuntu 17.04. Only problem was HiDPI support, but I just set the resolution at 1920x1200 instead of 2560xsomething and called it a day. 0 hardware issues, and much much faster than osx or W

For the record, my Toyota, being one year old, has been 3 times already for repairs, due to the Diesel Particle Filter. 25K Euro spent on the car, and 300€ in maintenance and repairs on the first year, with 21000 Km driven.

All Cisco, HP ProCurve etc. still use serial (they tend to have serial over USB these days) interface for configuration. You can connect via SSH / telnet, but to configure the management interface you first need to connect to that seri

The worst thing is I don't think it would be too hard to make a quite open phone, even an upgradeable phone. From the top of my head: * Raspberry pi compute module as a base * SIM8008 equivalent with 3g/hspa module soldered on a

Yes. This affects the management engine, an independent firmware that runs in your system wether it runs linux, windows BSD. It is still running even if your computer is off (in fact, one of its capabilities is to turn it on remotely). Edit

The problem is, I think, what choice do we have (we == rest of the world) when somebody's messed up camera starts spamming the entire Internet? And how much does cost the mirai botnet to everyone when some client rents it? Best case sc

The only reason I keep my G Watch R is because I get real time traffic notifications while driving two/from work. It has saved me quite some times from getting stuck in a car jam... Except the time it notified me after being rear hit..

I'm sorry, but that's simply not true. Millions of iPhone users have been migrating their phones from 4, to 4s, to 5 or 5s up to the iPhone 7. They have all their photos since 2010 stored in there and have inherited all the crap f

As far as keyboards are concerned, I've never had anything better than the Motorola Droid 4. It's a shame it was unusable with the stock software, the terrible display and the locked bootloader, but the keyboard was absolutely ama

It depends on what hardware and software you want to mix. If you're using Ubiquiti products (www.ubnt.com), Unifi software will take care of it for the most part, since it includes it out of the box (just go to the settings), and they&
