I think you’re misunderstanding the Android bootloader model. All the Android phones I saw when researching one to buy came with locked bootloaders, even the easily-unlocked Google Pixel series. So it’s not even a question whether the bootl

Microsoft Flight Simulator lets you fly a plane anywhere in the world based on satellite images and 3D models of various cities. I’d imagine that any other game studio would have trouble finding enough money to license the rights to satelli

I use Caps Lock for typing any acronym of four or more letters, and for typing some three-letter acronyms. Examples: “Execute this SQL against the ‘XYZ_DB’ PostgreSQL database.” “When I requested the HTML file over HTTP, I saw a CAPTCHA.”
