My assumption would be it's a lot more difficult to reverse engineer apps on iOS.

This reads like how it would make the police jobs easier to solve crime just to install an always on GPS on everybody. Ad fraud really isn't my problem. So why should I be mercilessly tracked by everyone just to make your job easier?

I will second this. I would much rather hire an engineer who has a related background and wants to learn over an engineer with the exact skillset but does not want to learn. It may take a few months, but the former engineer will pick up wha

That's my set-up with Android now. However, on a Pixel3a, I feel like I have to do a manual input several times a day, usually if I wash my hands, use lotion, things like that. It also doesnt work well if I am outside in the cold and n

My understanding of it comes down to this: Most people do not use secure passphrase to lock their phones, but use a PIN. Even an 8 digit PIN is only 10^8 guesses, which any modern desktop can crack. To solve this, Android/iOS make an e

Frankly, good luck with that. I attempted for a few months to do that for my Pixel 3a (which in theory is officially supported). When I followed the official guide to compile android, I found that a LOT of things did not work that I expecte

I tried PostmarketOS, Mobian, and Manjaro. PostmarketOS edge had Plasma Mobile 5.20.3, which was considered to be the latest plasma mobile at the time.

Since there are so many distros, it is honestly hard to keep up with (even if you are involved with the commuity). In (very) broad strokes (i.e. if you use a well supported distro), you can expect: - Calls and SMS seem stable, even when the

Respectfully, I think you got most of it right, but incorrect on a big nuance when you said: "A fantasy world can be based on real history as we know it (consider, for example, the Nordic theme in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich K

As someone who did an AMA for my Birch device, that is frankly an incredibly selfish attitude. I got people who thought I was some sort of employee of Purism just because I was willing to answer questions and did so nicely, and then people

Something I have been noting when working with this community is Purism employees actively helping the Pinephone community developers with software support/coding and vice versa. It has been awesome to see such cooperation between the

Holy crap, that is awesome! It looks like they are asking for testers, but I cannot seem to figure out how to add it. Do you have knowledge on how to do that (or a good place to point to to try it)? It also looks like it is for downloading

It does not. What I would offer is it has 6 back bogo pins that speak I2C, so someone who wants to build it in can.

As a different idea, federal loans like this means that universities have no risk in taking on more students and, if anything, incentivies higher tuition and more students. I personally think the univeristy should take on more risk if they
