What would you want instead? If a company truly followed best practices and was as secure as was reasonably expected, then was it their fault a zero-day was exploited? And if not what consequence should there be for the actions of a bad act

I think some of this is just the typical bluster of company press releases / earnings reports. Can't ever show weakness or the shareholders will leave. Can't ever show doubt or the stock price will drop. Nevertheless, I'

Oh no, they might only make $15 billion instead of $18 billion next quarter?

True, although Asia is also nearly twice the size of Africa, which might have something to do with that.

The article says it's from Ghana in the second sentence and other places throughout. Is that not enough?

What, never heard the term "money talks" before?

Too late for whom though? I suspect it's not Google. The only companies with enough capital to take them on at their own game are somehow even worse , although admittedly the gap is getting narrower by the second. And yeah, giants occ

Aside from everyone pointing out that you can't do that on most phones, there's also the fact that installing your own OS will block you from using many apps that check your secure status.

I was in the same camp. I ordered one anyway as I figured my pebble's battery couldn't last much longer... Could it?

I first found out it was prime day when I went to check out and was notified that 4 out of 5 things placed in the cart over the week had suddenly jumped in price overnight. So, "can confirm".

Yeah, but then you run into scenarios where A+D is tested and ready, but B and/or C are not. Git does give you tools to separate them, but most people don't like doing that for various reasons. IMHO, it may be more natural, but on

That's just bad git hygiene, and lots of lead devs deal with this across the development world. One change per commit/PR please.

Yeah, it supports tethering. After fiddling with it for a moment (and reading the Darktable docs to discover I have to click the Mount Camera button first), I've got some semblance of tethering working. It's a bit slow and I can&#

Ooo, I'll need to look into this again. I worked with the devs from Darktable / gphoto a few years ago trying to get it to work and both sides eventually gave up because the output from the camera was just so far from any spec. I&

I wish my Olympus had something like this. They are considerably more customer hostile than other brands in both software and accessories. The app for those cameras is not even laughable; it's just depressing. And it can't be teth

One of the best, most thought-provoking things I've read in a long time. It near-perfectly describes what I've been struggling with myself. Thank you for sharing.

> Both GNOME Shell in the phone context and Plasma Mobile are evolutionary dead ends. That's a hell of a hot take. Could you elaborate on why you think so?

Serious question: how is the thinness providing value? Is it simply the feel?

I guess? But vapor chambers are mostly good where space is a premium and where passive (non-powered) cooling is enough. I'm guessing for EV batteries, better options exist since you obviously have power. Although sometimes vapor chambe

You should know how this goes by now. It's not like this is the first time Apple introduced an old technology but marketed it like they invented sliced bread. I give their marketing team credit.

Who would they pressure? And even if they were successful in pressuring them, people would just remove it or fork.

It just keeps getting worse. I think this is going to single-handedly destroy the OSS ecosystem that Android enjoys. It is incredibly frustrating watching this play out without having an alternative to migrate to.
