The official binary Vulkan drivers for Mali IP have been fairly buggy for a while (especially comparing to Adreno), it's somewhat of a shame that it's not possible to bundle open Mesa drivers built for Android with an app due to t

Many apps opt out of including their state in "adb backup" or act oddly when restored. Maybe this changed in the past few years, but it is still nowhere as complete as any automated or manual iOS backup.

This kind of "desired" behavior sounds like it'd lead to the same funny look Excel has had when implementing translated formula function names across localizations.

For cryptography one should just be able to rely on their OS' library, and depending on a full browser with high amounts of code churn, no compatibility for implementation code and a large dependency graph of its own is not really seen

And inevitably, when trying not to be, you are anyway. Fun times getting out a tablet to tweak firewall settings deflecting a DDoS attack while at a furniture store. At least at home, people won't look at you oddly when you take out a

In Germany, unusually even for Europe, this is solved for civil cases by assigning a fixed fee per case that lawyers and the court itself must adhere to - they can't go below, they can't go above - depending on the claim value, us

Commonly used plugins seem to have built-in data format and behavioral compatibility, and I guess a big reason would be for consistency across platforms - and now the custom Qt stylesheets, if that's your thing.

A 13" MacBook would have an effective horizontal resolution equivalent to 1280 pixels. It's likely that they designed this only for 200%-scaled laptops.

My 3970X on the ASRock Taichi (with default settings, generally) does not seem to reproduce this issue at this time - the system remains operational despite the FMA3 path being used (I'm assuming this is behind the AVX2 flag? disabling
