Words also have origins and evolving meanings. Why should the preservation of the space be especially significant and load bearing? Why should "milkshake" be a word but "ice cream" isn't? Milkshakes were, after all,

When was called it "iced cream"? The first published recipe for ice cream in 1718 called it "ice cream", not "iced cream". The first recorded mention in English at all was in 1671 and there, again, it was &quot

It is still largely the same, those downgrade protections apply to OTAs as well. Those anti-rollback don't brick the device, either. It might not boot to a working OS, but you can still get back to the bootloader to flash something new

"flashing" a phone is largely the same as any OTA update. There's of course always a risk of it going wrong, disk failures are always possible, but it's exceptionally hard to do so accidentally. Especially with custom RO

There's also good reasons that immediate mode GUIs are largely only ever used by games, they are absolutely terrible for regular UI needs. Since Rust gaming is still largely non-existent, it's hardly surprising that things like &#

Politics is simply how a society governs itself. Whether or not a society values the rules being enforce to rulers is itself politics . Dismissing politics like this is how we end up with exactly the problem of rules not applying to rulers

Rust is better here (by a lot), but you can still ignore the return value. It's just a warning to do so, and warnings are easily ignored / disabled. It also litters your code with branches, so not ideal for either I-cache or perfo

If you forget to handle a C++ exception you get a clean crash. If you forget to handle a C error return you get undefined behavior and probably an exploit. Exceptions are more robust , not less.

Pentile typical omits subpixels to achieve the resolution, so yes if you have an LCD and an AMOLED with the exact same resolution and the AMOLED is pentile, it won't be as sharp because it has literally fewer subpixels. But that's
