Right now we have shitty software _and_ a crashlytics that phones home constantly for no apparent reason.

10% seems low. On Android Firefox supports extension so a lot of people are having exact same extension on desktop and mobile.

Yeah, I would love to see that. I think the author could take the same engine and create a new so that just blocks trackers and Facebook and people would gladly pay for it.

Oneplus had some occasional hickups in the support department but I don't think their hardware is significantly better or worse than anyone else. What I really like about OnePlus is their software. It's hands down the best Android

Why would termux not work in 11?

I think they use industry standard techniques (trust anchroing, attestation, etc) but their implementation is not fully open. I'm actually fine with that.

> they just gave up and started licensing stock ARM cores. This is not correct. Their CPUs are heavily modified, just not very well executed. The problem is that Qualcomm puts most its efforts on other parts of the soc, such as the stupi

If you are going that route you are better of with LXC or Docker. IIRC LXC is part of the 20.04 install. Or use Vagrant if you want better security.

Hmmm... these are two different benchmarks.

Yes, but Linux also have a number of security mechanisms to limit access to syscalls (e.g. seccomp).

Aren't you misunderstanding the directive? The EU explicitly stated the goal was to reduce e-waste, and the only way to do that is by not shipping a new charger with every phone. Apple avoided all this by providing USB-lightning conver

Latex is also very old and a huge pain to debug when things go wrong. I would love to see a complete office package based on some markdown language. It would be simple to understand and use. Speaking of markdown, can someone please release

If you Google "EU charger" this The Verge article will be the top result: "Since 2009, the European Commission has been trying to convince tech companies to adopt a single charging method for our gadgets, primarily smartphone

I think we are passed the point where we can win a war against China without major causalities. It's much cheaper and safer to (1) stop buying stuff from China to create economic unrest and (2) support forces that fight for a more free

I get the feeling that your own post is very much political.

Looking forward to many more scientific breakthroughs. And loads of new art and great music albums to be released next year. I would like to contribute myself, but I first need to quit social media (does that include HN?)

> They also reduce e-waste. They do. But please note that Apple does this after years of pressure from EU and are one of the last companies to do so. So please don't make them into some kind of champions for the environment.

The problem is that it probably costs apple $3 to include one but it will cost you $50 to buy one separately. So people will start using cheap garbage adapters from AliExpress and burn down their house. IIRC, HTC had a similar idea 5-6 year

What pisses me off is that a windows machinea spend so much time downloading and installing the OS and just a few Microsoft apps. Linux machines update everything including hundreds of apps you may have installed (and some are updated very

Thanks, I did not know that. I wonder why AMD has a license. These licenses are _not cheap_ !! Fun fact: AMD Zen processors contain at least one ARM cpu but as far as I know they are always 32bit and not modified from original hard macros.

by panpanna 6y ago
Not trying to start an argument with you, but this is incorrect. Essentially all major vendors have this license, and essentially all major vendors do their own heavily modified designs. They have different goals,priorities, budgets and abi

Apple is far from the only company with that kind of license ( Qualcomm, Nvidia, Samsung, even Intel)

Yeah, but that's all it was, a neat trick. Not really well thought from a business pov and technically they had some issues, specially since acorn hw was so different from a standard PC.

First of all, the article is very apple centeric, as if the author is completely unaware of anything outside his bubble. Back to the article: what author kind of missed is that ARM was Acorns spinoff of the CPU business since their computer

Google has multiple services that use GPS. Location services is just one. Example: security services bypass the location settings.

I think you missed my point. GPS is so entangled in the OS that as soon as you enable it ten different Google services will record and send your positioning data to different departments at google. But I have ZERO interest in giving anyone
