It's been illegal to sell locked phones on Canada since 2017, and long before that carriers were forced to unlock a phone after a set period of time (18 months iirc).

I'm having a very hard time deciding what my next phone will be. I'd like to move away from Android because it's basically an advertising machine, and iOS certainly seems to be the more privacy focused... But I also won&#x27

Since the shell script in question installs OpenFAAS, unless you read all the source code for OpenFAAS too, then really you still have no idea if it's going to do something malicious or not.

I like that the "Compare" tab shows some dimensions in mm and some in inches. The Pixel 5 has a "151 mm" screen, the Pixel 4a (5G) has a "6.2 in" screen.

Ok, but what if you get accused of sexual assault, and you know that if you go into custody in that foreign country, you'll probably never go to trial, because you'll immediately be extradited to the US for trumped up espionage ch

100K switches is switching your input 4 times a day for 68 years. You'll probably want a new fancy 32K monitor by then anyways. ;) Also, if your monitor stores the current input in EEPROM, changing it via the OSD will also write to E

I bet it's a lot shorter than the delay involved in me using the touch sensitive not-buttons on the front of my monitor to switch inputs, which is what I do now. :P

Yes exactly. And, ironically, many of these solutions can make you less safe; at one of my former employers we had something like this, but the problem is that since you're getting a cert from the MITM server, you're not able to

I'll prefix by saying that this is exactly how I write my tests, too. But, let's do a little critical thinking here and ask "Why do we write integration tests?" If the goal is to improve software quality, I'm afra

My dad was a huge proponent of this back when he was in software; don't tell you developers what tests failed, only what percentage of tests failed. A software test is, in many ways, like an exam you might write in university; just lik

I wonder if they considered using something like ptrace to track which .rb files a given test suite loads? This would probably be orders of magnitude faster than Rotoscope or Tracepoint. You'd get a much "coarser" data set,
