Mozilla has gotten billions of dollars from Google - if they had stayed small and put a significant portion of that income into an endowment fund, they'd be in a much better position for the long term.

Oh, I didn't mention it in the original post, but I'm also using magisk hide, or zygote, or whatever they're calling it now. Additionally, I've blocklisted certain apps so that they're not even allowed to request ro

Sure, I'm using a Moto g100 / Edge S (different branding depending on where in the world it was purchased, but it's the same hardware). And this is the script I'm using: https://github.com/NicolasWebDev&#

As a side note to this, Aurora store is awesome. If you sign in with your Google account, then you can install paid apps that you've purchased, but the Play store thinks are incompatible with your device. In my experience, the majority

I'm running lineageOS, and I had to root the phone to make one banking app work (and Netflix and some games.) It actually passes SafetyNet out of the box, but there's a CTS profile check that some apps do in addition to SafetyNet,

It looks like there isn't a revanced patch for that yet, but I bet there will be soon.

Yeah, I don't actually use spotify, but I've seen this behavior with a combination of Audible, Libby, Smart AudioBook Player, Youtube, Nebula, and Plexamp. Smart AudioBooks Player is by far the best behaved of the bunch. I think

Probably 10 years ago, my brother installed some new RAM in his Lenovo laptop on Christmas day, after which point it refused to turn on - with either the new or old RAM. We contacted Lenovo and they sent someone out to our house about 2 day

I had pretty good experience with replacing the battery in a pixel 2 with one from iFixit. On the other hand, the iPod touch battery that I got off eBay only lasted about 6 months before refused to charge.

I'm mostly a Firefox on Android user, does Chrome on Android have plugins now? I know it didn't for a while.

I don't know, defaults are pretty powerful. There's already a Chrome-branded Safari wrapper on iOS; but my guess is that the majority of iOS users use "regular" Safari and will continue to because it's the default.

I've had that experience with some of my testing devices. For the jailbroken one, I can SSH in and see what's happening, and I recall that in at least one case it was an apple process that was sitting at 100% (I think it was sprin

Failure to replicate doesn't mean that it's not an issue. They even acknowledged that it has happened to other people. It's just another data point. IMO, it sounds like it's a real issue, but not one that affects the maj

I'm biased, but I think this is probably bad news for Heap customers.

Not yet, but you can pre-order them from some vendors. The 4 and 8gb models should ship in October. FWIW, the Pi 4 and Pi Zero W are both fairly available these days. The Zero 2 W is still in short supply, but aside from that, the shortage

Yeah, you're not wrong. I more disappointment with the general trend rather than this specific instance; phones and tablets are where I miss it the most. With Raspberry Pi's specifically, although I have used the headphones jack t

> soft and hard shutdown My reading of that was: "soft" = trigger an orderly OS shutdown, the same as if you executed `shutdown now` on the command line. "hard" = cut power immediately, as if you just unplugged the

FWIW, the odroid forums have some assholes that will come out of the woodwork if you even mention a competing product. I reported one, and the mods told me that the forum was only for odroid products, so they weren't going to take any

A number of vendors seem to only be showing 4GB and 8GB units for $60 and $80, but https://vilros.com/collections/raspberry-pi-5/products/raspb... has 1GB and 2GB variants for $40 and $50 respectively. https

Yeah, that's a fair point. I've never had any of those shares, but I'm sure they exist. I'd probably take that over residuals.

by nfriedly 3y ago
My intuition is that residuals have a higher chance of a low payout, whereas options have a lower chance of being worth anything, but probably a higher value if they do pay off.

For public companies, sure. But for a private company, where are the options are essentially a lottery ticket, I think a decent number of folks would choose residuals.
