I'm sad to see you downvoted. Its frustrating to me too when a company like Apple champions human rights in the USA then hands over the management of iCloud to China. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208351

A Chinese company controls the icloud data. That's a backdoor if I've ever heard of one. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208351

Well one thought is seeing if the Pine Community would be interested in working on this. They seem to be in the business of making Linux style things, and I wonder if this would be up their alley.

I have a Gen 2, and there are some firmware warts, but it works reasonably well. Sadly, their new offerings all use Android, so now I have all of the hassles of a Phone (spying, out of date, etc.) in my mp3 player! I just want a simple self

There are a bunch of niche ones still, they either go way low end or way high end. I have a FiiO X5 for my "regular" mp3 player and a Sansa Clip Sport for my workout one. Sadly, I work a daytime job and don't really have the

They are, but they are no longer being manufactured. They have the Clip Zip/Sport, and Rockbox is no longer supported on them. I use a CLip Sport for workouts, but they are not nearly as good as the Clip+

I really wish I had more of the know how to make a Kickstarter/Crowd Supply for this. I imagine an mp3 player with native Rockbox support would be very popular, especially in the form factor of an iPod and/or a Sansa Clip.

However, the repository was for convenience. Nothing stops you from adding a new repository to install new apps. You simple have no choice with iOS on that front.

See my other post. It does in fact, it means the attack vectors are completely different.

by kop316 7y ago
You are correct. However, that doesn't make the cipher insecure. The reason I make this distinction is because it makes other attack vectors different. If the cipher was made insecure, then the whole thing couldn't be trusted beca

I'd suspect it's a "tack on" experiement. They were doing a bunch of experiments and wanted to see if a plant could even germinate in a low gravity environment. Now that they know it can germinate, it is worth the money

Good on her, and whenever I see/hear folks say that hiring younger workers is cheaper overall for a company, I very simply wonder if they have ever actually worked for a good experienced older worker. An older worker can get things don

No I have not. I said it below, but I ordered on their kickstarter the same day it came out, and I got an email today saying I will get an email when my order comes up.

It was pretty out of the box friendly. You have to download all of that from google (I recall they have an export function), and it was in a file that nextcloud natively accepts.

My understanding is that the GCM is for notifications that come in from off the phone (i.e. from a server). Rather than have every program have a background service (and if they are badly made, have it drain the battery) to check notificati

I am hoping so. I emailed them asking about my order. I mean, I get it, low production runs of hardware and prototyping hardware is hard. Having a hardware bug in the first batch would be terrible. I would even get if the first batch is goi

This makes me extremely curious how many they have to ship, and how fast they are shipping. I say this because I backed the Librem 5 the same day it came out (My order was at 5:30 PM EST), and I asked to be a part of the first batch. Despi

A random mistake yes, I would agree. However, this mistake was a piece of information that even the Washington Post said was the reason they did not report on it [1]. To confound it, this was a piece seemingly to drum up interest for the b

I'm reminded of something in academia. When one or two people fail a test, they probably messed up. When 50% or more fail a test, the teacher messed up. I say to to say I hate when it is phrased as a "turnover crisis". No, wo

Lots of things are convenient until they are abused. SMTP without SPF or DKIMS is convenient if its not being spammed. Http is fine for authentication until its being eavesdropped on. There is a middle ground. Allowing random people to plop
