I tried NixOS because I needed to recreate an environment with a specific GCC version. It was absolute hell, you are likely looking back on your experience with rose colored glasses now that you know how things work. Even really really real

Why every time a new technology comes out with crappy obvious limitations does somebody feel compelled to write a blog post trying to justify it as actually good? This is just somebody trying to talk themselves into keeping their $3,500 toy

IIRC the question is when the phone is totally locked, e.g. if you turn it off then turn it back on and haven't entered the PIN yet. In this state even apple can't get an update to run, the secure hardware won't do it unless
