   Thanks for sharing this! It made my day a little brighter.

   I think that replacing your software after it stops getting security and feature updates and loses compatibility with apps extends the longevity of your phone's life and creates less e-waste. I used my old OnePlus 6 for longer than I w

   Don't know if this par for iFixit, but this sort of reads like an ad. To be fair, it sounds like the phone is not too bad in repairability. We should also have scores for software repairability and replacement.

   Wow, this stirred up a memory because at some point I had like the most messages sent on Hack Club Slack ever (or at least per month). That was a long time ago.

   Perhaps there is firmware signing.

   I'm hoping maybe the Qualcomm laptops make some progress on battery life. I had an LG gram that had honestly surprisingly good battery life on Linux, and maybe the ThinkPads are good too.

   Ah, I see. I was curious since I guess you can refer to it as central Asia since it's west of east Asia, haha.

    Is India considered central Asia? I've always seen it referred to as south Asia, and former Soviet countries like Kazakhstan have been referred to as central Asia. I think India is east of these "central Asian" countries. Per

    Unfortunately, I have heard logic like this throughout my life, leading me to decide that because I struggled with (some subset of) math, I am not an intelligent person, which led to forcing myself to do pure math in college to prove my int

    This is interesting. Is there a reason why this started happening in the 90s?

    Things like citation brokers (paid to cite papers), abuse of power, paper mills, and blackmail (pg. 10) is appalling to me. I have to question how we ended up here. Academia seems very focused on results and output, and this is used as a me

    So, there is a stipend consideration in much of Europe, where if the PhD stipend is the same or lower compared to US schools, it would be difficult to save a reasonable amount of money should I choose to return to the US post-doctorate. Swi

    As someone graduating from undergrad soon, and a intense and passionate person in CS, all of these reasons are seriously making me reconsider the idea of doing a PhD. I've done the 36-hour straight work grinds, and working from 10 pm t

    My grade school education in the US was similar to this (although you needed to qualify for "accelerated" math). There were maybe 90 people every year in this. Those who did well did not make it much past CML or AMC, maybe out of

    I think this is also called V2 word order.

    FORCEDENTRY bypassed this sandbox IIRC. That was a bug in the JBIG2 decoder.

    Android also has permission prompts to allow access to files and location and such. Either way, I would be fine with this, if there were a big, red, and scary button with a warning in iOS to turn the coddling off. I bought a phone, so I own

    Oh! Well, either way, I'm not interested in Apple products because of their stances on repairability.

    Interestingly, I really don't like MacBook trackpads. The actuation force is too high for my taste. Maybe this has changed.

    From my vague understanding I thought that Hygon is able to build atop Zen 1 IP that AMD gave Hygon, although they can't get anything newer because of restrictions on doing business with China. Hygon still seems to be making x86 CPUs:

    I've read that they specifically look for this by finding RDTSC timestamps, which would include (?) the overhead of the hypercall or something.

    As someone that used these APIs in C, they were not very well-documented nor intuitive, and oftentimes segfaulted when you messed up, instead of returning errors—I suppose the validation checks sacrifice performance for correctness, which i
