  • Breaking - Samsung Removes Bootloader Unlocking with One UI 8

  • Plus, Google can normally install apps on your phone without any permission or notification.

  • +2 to Mosquito Perception, for a MOSPER of 6 total!

  • I believe they're probably referencing the recent disastrous flooding in Texas.

  • Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data

  • (Not saying this was your case, but generally good to check) - a finicky/wobbly USB type c connector has been a symptom of a dirty charging port several times in the past. Awful lint/dirt would get packed down into it, preventing the charger from fully inserting.

    I ended up carefully and gently picking it out, though there are some delicate small contacts in there!

    Anyway, good luck trying GrapheneOS! It's been my daily driver for months and past the learning experience it's great!

  • Valve's reported profit-per-head from Steam commissions is out there, and at $3.5 million per employee it makes Apple and Facebook look like a lemonade stand

  • Ew. I hate that. I see they offer an option in settings to permanently switch out of S mode, but that seems like it's a crappy excuse. I'm guessing most users are never going to go there, and will stay in S mode, using only Microsoft's awful products. That's their intention, at least.

  • Solar + Battery (covering 97% of demand) is now cheaper than coal and nuclear

    Jump

  • I mean there are ongoing costs with any form of power generation. Obviously there's fuel costs for most, but even other renewables have maintenance costs. You'll also need to keep investing anyway as power demands increase over time. So newer solar installations eventually replace the old.

  • I'm worried I'll slip up and do it in public. Or maybe the ceiling will be so much more comfortable that I can never go back.

    Oh, and that ceiling fan kinda hurts.

  • Microsoft is moving antivirus providers out of the Windows kernel

    Jump

  • I'm just speculating. It seems like, at least at the moment, anti cheat continues to be able to run as kernel. The article says Microsoft will have more to say on anti cheat "in the near future."

    It may be that they don't crack down on the realtime applications as hard, since the number of users impacted is so much smaller. Antivirus and anti cheat are on many millions of machines and are usable by the average consumer. Specialty software may be considered differently, I. E. "You know what you're doing and what risks you're assuming" for the more technical customer.

    It will be interesting to see where they go with this.

  • An interesting question. Assuming they're only targeting security/antivirus products at the moment (see the discussion regarding anti-cheat) it may be that those applications get a pass for now.
