The iPhone turned out to be the most walled garden smartphone as well (even compared to older designs that relied on Java ME), and it didn't exactly hurt them. The more relevant question is, can Facebook in 2022 excite people as much

Shame really, it does look like a neat OS for hypervisors. What's Microsoft's current recommendation for that? Still a full blown graphical UI?

Most regular users want as many features as they can get, for a reasonable price point. And Samsung is king in that market – their A series phones have a huge sales volume. Some users can afford real premium phones. And Samsung's

You're kind of missing the point of sudo if that's all you use it for. sudo can also be used to whitelist specific user+program+argument combinations, so e.g. unprivileged users can run system updates, but not install new programs

Yes. That's why this isn't a "these are exploits" list, but a "this is where you need to be careful" list. If configured properly , it's safe, but there's a number of gotchas, like indirect privilege

The Nobel peace prize has had a long tendency of handing out awards short-sightedly for promises rather than solutions, not just when giving it to American politicians: • In the 1920s, Britain and France got the Peace Prize for telling Ge
