My favorite part is: > All data collected through the TCF must now be deleted by the more than 1,000 companies that pay IAB Europe to use the TCF. This includes Google’s, Amazon’s and Microsoft’s online advertising businesses. It's

Thank you :-) I wholeheartedly agree with you, and I'm sad not seeing it reported more often. I consider that Google Maps being free stagnated the maps market, and stopped any innovation from happening. Often when I say this, I get &qu

I fully agree there. In addition to software expectations, state-backed intelligence doesn't require any software (or hardware) security flaw to surveil you. If you're are a target of interest to them, there isn't much you ca

I'm not aware of Microsoft ever being sued about the loss of malwares on Windows.

No it's not possible. Google Play hides some permissions on its own, but very basic one (like the one allowing access to internet). That's it. The dangerous permissions mentioned in the article need to be manually enabled by the u

This article is IMO very exaggerating issues there (please note that Google store shows that the app targets only Android >= 8.0, this has a huge impact for what's to follow) List of perms from the article: > Collect and send use

(pretty sure most people will miss this answer, but anyway) So, to clarify things considering all the answers: - Qualcomm's development cost is shared amongst all OEMs (Except Google), because all OEMs share the same development branch

Getting paid twice my current salary year to cherry-pick commits from one branch to another and click rebuild? Hell yes! Though Qualcomm get much cheaper engineers than me in India.

Yeah so uh, Sony is super weird. There is the production side of Sony, and the developer side of Sony. They barely coexist, they are two completely different minds. Think I'm exaggerating? They have two bootloaders, one for developers,

Google's big argument to say they aren't upgrade pixels, is that they can't guarantee security of binary blobs. Fuchsia does nothing to help this.

Samsung definitely makes Qualcomm devices. So that argument is bullshit.

Can you guarantee there won't be an unpatchable boot ROM security flaw in three years of devices' "support" span?
469.
by phh 5y ago
Obviously YMMV, but last year there was exactly one OEM merging kernel LTS (Sony). While many (dare I say most?) Custom ROMs do.

I want to answer that Qualcomm-is-the-issue again. You're pointing out how ridiculous it is, but let me expand: So, as an order of magnitude, the price asked by Qualcomm for extended support is 1M$. That's 10c/device. The VoL

That's kinda what chromebooks do, though even better. There is a physical screw, that you can unscrew to rewrite the read-only part of firmware (which ofc contains secure boot keys)

I think the author missed the "semantic" part. If you push your own SQLite, then no, I don't have the semantic meaning of the website. Only a standardized semantic file format ala RDF can achieve that.
