This was not a real security issue, but in general they update even old flagship devices for critical security issue. IIRC, last time they had a really bad bug they updated some 4-5 year old Notes.

TL;DR: color profile in the metadata could not be interpreted by some phones. When you set that picture as your background it can cause your home screen to hang. Samsung fixed this with an extremely eraly June security update. I think it to

Denmark is the king of this kind of stupidity. People call it symbolic-politics. Remember, this is the same country that during the Syria crisis stripped incoming refugee of their belonging then dropped them off by the Swedish border. Edit:

Yeah, but one might argue that do-not-track is a clear revocation of consent wrt GDPR and CCPA.

Ubuntu has been plug and play for me the last 4-5 years. It even supports devices no longer working on Macs and windows without any user interaction. Of course, high-end nvidia boards seem to have all kind of problem. Stay away from Nvidia

Question: does chrome privat mode automatically set the do-not-track flag? If so, what are the legal implications if a site sees that and decides to track you anyway?

If this is a public repo then you are already hacked. There are multiple automated systems that scan public repos for credentials. 5 minutes later you are mining bitcoins for them.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but wasn't exim created as a more secure alternative to sendmail? Edit: on a second thought, "more secure than sendmail" means nothing. It is probably impossible to be _less_ secure than sendmail.

Well, I have had _some_ laptops even exceededing their advertised 10+ hrs battery life but only under a _specific_ configuration (basically the one it came with. An OS reinstall would kill the battery life). Also, things have improved signi

If you like me hate hearing the fan on an idle laptop, you need to learn the subtle art of nagging IT just the right amount to get things done :) Or just BYOD :)

From own experience this is 99% corporate shenanigans. You should have a serious talk with your IT department. Sometimes they are not aware how much garbage they are throwing at people through Active Directory. In my experience, the best wa

I can live with that. I think of you are benefiting from a FOSS project day on and day out, donating "one cappuccino" once in a while would not be a major spending decision.

What are your thoughts on Ubuntu vs Debian with respect to functionality and he support (laptops in particular)? I have used Ubuntu at work and in home for a while now and things have been surprisingly free from hassles. I don't mind m

To be fair The_Donald was not really the champion of free speach themselves. They did absolutely everything they could to silence anyone who did not 110% agree with their views. This post pretty much sums up T_D: https://www.redd

Certain subs are heavily curated. You will immediately get banned if you go against the mods view of the world. And they do this to even the most innocent posts. If you are used to these subs, as soon as you leave your perfect bubble you wi

I see how this is an abstraction of register memory. but how does it help against a constantly moving kernel? Also, wouldn't this make an otherwise simple code much harder to read and understand?
