The analogy does work: we know the specific bits that are responsible for the color of Mario's hat.

Afaik Kerbal's simulation is non-relativistic, so you shouldn't have learnt anything about relativity from Kerbal...

You forgot to account for much higher resale values. After 2 years, you can resell your phone to someone who can still get 5 years out of it.

It will open new issues.Everything will be closed source and we are back to this windows 95 crappy driver situation.

Fuchsias is just a way to not open source drivers and kernel modifications at all. So they can just willfully plan obsolescence without having to fear that any of those pesky hobbyist runs their own version that would circumvent those limit

The that authoritarian DRM crap and a banking bullshit has to stop. Why do they work on old vulnerable Android stock versions, but not on new Lineage os? Security is a dumb excuse here, it is all about exercising power over the user.

But there is no reason why it needs to stay that way.

Then they just set the list price too high, always sell with a shrinking rebate, and it turns out that nothing changed in comparison to as so it is today. Nice idea...

Sometimes. In other cases, especially when the toddler cries, the dog recognizes that cry as typical for prey and mauls or kills the toddler.

Your own device? That ship has sailed long ago, as you decided to buy it and not root/jailbreak it. You never had any power over that device.

I would agree if the choice was binary. But it isn't. Many alumni of arts and humanities later go into professions that are not only useless, buy actually harmful to society, while not contributing to actual art and culture: Advertisin

Or, just syncthing, if you don't need a specializes photo web interface. They apparently added support for client-side support recently, so you can put it on some random vserver as well.

But then they don't allow me to have root at the same time. They claim it is for security reasons but fail to explain why and get really unfriendly. Maybe some power-trip? So now I can choose between vendor lock-in and random-programme

It is not understandable, and we shouldn't accept asshole behavior like this. If we do, other manufacturers will follow one by one, and in 2 years you won't have any options left. Like it was with removable batteries. SD cards. He

That is exactly what the parent meant: Intelligence has in fact been shown to be hereditary to about 2/3rds. This is difficult to integrate into a humanistic world-view, so the easy way out is to outright deny that fact.

That culture is everywhere in schools, not limited to poor people, also in middle class. These kids are suffering, and thus culture needs to be fought. Instead teachers and society are lazy and say "lol whatever boys will be boys, let&

Careful with such advice. Dogs might as well make your problems even worse. They smell bad, might make you smell bad, need a lot of attention, soil your home, cannot be left alone for an extended amount of time. And might even hurt you. In

Yes. Why not? They should make hardware and publish the specs. Of course. That is very unlikely due to the power they already have.

Doesn't matter if people are working on it: Efficieny of the H2 cycle is limited by physics, not engineering.

This is a bit special, because you are not real traffic, and in general a nuisance to real traffic. Many police officials still hate bikes.

I honestly don't understand why it should be "Simple as that"? If you have the phone rooted, as long as you don't grant root to any application, why should it be less secure than if you hadn't rooted it? (assumed ev

Even with the most secure alternative Android, you always have blobs from the original manufacturer that you have to use for some hardware-related critical functionality. And of course, the baseband that usually has full access to device&#x
