Wait, so you mean security issues were found in a security conference where google pays top dollar to researchers who find security issues so Google can fix them ASAP? Why is that a bad thing?

I appreciate your work, and I see that the site has improved a lot since last time I visited it! I also noted that some of my complaints have already been addressed (well, at least by gitlab. bitbucket not so much) I have two suggestions re

I know that at least some gitlab people hang out on HN. I am really curious what they think of this issue. In particular, I want to hear if they plan to make the hosted projects easier to discover and the developer pages more attractive. Th

Well, good luck raising import taxes on Chinese goods now Mr Trump. China will probably invent an "environmental tax" for import from US.

Android is also what you pay for. If you buy a $99 phone from China, don't be surprised if there is Chinese government spy code in the firmware. For the record, companies like Apple and Xiaomi provide methods to verify the integrity of

The DTEK60 sounds interesting. If Blackberry can get this to market for a realistic price (300-400 is okay, 700 is not) I will probably get one of those.

This reminds me of that old discussion between Linus and ESR where the ESR tries really hard and has a lot of really good arguments but Linux doesn't care because he is right. The thread was on HN last year, I think the title was some

Well, they paid good money to license the ARM components and their documentation actually adds to the standard ARM documentation by filling in some device-specific gaps. But not everything here comes from ARM, look for example at their powe

I think you are misunderstanding the situation. Both chips contain a CPU from ARM, so far so good. For the rest of the chip allwinner uses modern, well documented and battle proven components mainly from ARM. To save a few cents, broadcom u

The problem is that their documentation contains only selected information and every time the community needs information about some other part they have to beg Broadcom for information. Most often the request was denied. So here we are, wi

For people not familiar with the industry or the issue, compare the documentation available for the broadcom processor in the popular raspberry pi 2 https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/tree/master&#x2

I had the same experience with high volumes. However, I think a lot of issues was due to documentation not being written at all (or being in very bad shape).

Again, I am not trying to compare the two. Just to provide some history, something tech journalists are seemingly very bad at.

IMHO that depends entirely on the model, Lenovo has awesome machines (e.g. older Thinkpad X series) and some really crappy machines (e.g. ideapad). Maybe the only exceptions to that are Razer and Microsoft who don't do low-end crap.
