Well, both, probably. GrapheneOS requires a lot of framework and device side changes.

I remember seeing a video where someone was talking about how from someone on the YouTube team said that their goal is for you to to replace the word “algorithm” with “audience”.

Whether they achieve that goal or not is a different story.

I agree I run the risk of being wrong and could at least provide some evidence, but I think at the very least it can be one additional piece of information someone could use in their consumption of this content.

LLM-written article.

Are these reasoning blobs the reason ChatGPT always requests to “store data in persistent storage”?

I love you

Does that website blocking work for browsers other than Safari?

Back to Nix again? I remember one of their employees had a great video series on it, but then they stopped using it because it was too complicated.

I’m running the risk of just getting an AI response back, but:

How are you able to boot Debian from an SD card, and without unlocking the bootloader?

Does the bootloader look for an OS on SD card by default? SD and eMMC are basically the same thing, is it just the same lines but an SD card takes priority over the eMMC? And does it not enforce verified boot properly / at all? Maybe being a Rockchip and not MTK/QCOM has something to do with it, but it’s still an Android device and I would assume there’s something in CTS/VTS/GMS licensing that makes verified boot mandatory.

There’s SELinux, everything is mounted nosuid, barely anything runs as root except init. I doubt it.

Wow, Tinkertoys, I still remember how the wood smelled and the big drum it came in.

I think you’ve misread my comment, I’m saying that thock does indeed work as a filter in the search bar!

As someone who doesn't pay much attention to the world of mechanical keyboards, very happy that I can use "thock" as a filter.

EDIT: A quick Google shows it's a pretty popular term, so I guess that's how I even know about it, the only other mechanical keyboard term in my vocabulary being "Cherry MX Blue clicky switches" for the ones on my AliExpress mechanical keyboard that prevent me from using the keyboard around other people. Unfortunately it also makes it difficult to hear the keyboard sounds without clicking on the letters instead :(

Or similar/clones, like the Atten ST-862D.

Interesting, but is the required combination of EML gates less complex than using other primitives?

I guess I could see that, but if all the water left, it could be dry like a desert too.. (although even though that was my initial interpretation, I did understand that's not what he meant)

And yes even without the reference it's not that there's a literal animal there.

I actually don’t understand the meaning of that sentence in Dickens fully either.

As much mud in the streets, as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantine lizard up Holborn Hill.

Why does “as if the waters had but newly retired” mean there’s a lot of water (and thus mud)? “As much mud as” clued me in, but I don’t get this part.

And apparently it’s also referencing not just some flood but the flood of Noah’s Ark from the Bible, which is why you might happen to see a dinosaur because it was such a long time ago. I guess I don’t come across many opportunities to think of / that remind me of Noah’s Ark because I didn’t think of that either.

The beta site was a horrible redesign. It hid information that was previously visible, the layout was confusing, comments were harder to read, and it just made no sense.

A 2GB RAM (and no EMMC) Raspberry Pi 5 in Canada is $90. Around $150 is where you can get used N100 Mini PCs with a proper SSD, and at least 8GB of RAM. It’s crazy.

AI-written article?

Is Qualcomm serious? The kernel commandline parameter injection is basically the same thing from a decade ago on Motorola phones [0].

The joke is that the models have already seen the source code of said packages regardless, right?

Is this, along with the comments by the other green usernames on this post, an AI-generated comment? Apologies if it isn't, AIs are trained on human writing and all that, but they're jumping out at me.

Edit: I see another green comment was flagged for AI, might be indicative of something, but why so many green comments on this thread specifically?

The BPI-R4 is great for use as a 10G WAN router if your ISP uses PPPoE since the network processing engine has hardware acceleration for it.

Unifi released the UCG-Fiber around a year ago that can also apparently finally handle it, but plenty of threads about slow performance with their UDMs since it's entirely done on the CPU [0].

I'm not the biggest fan of OpenWRT and would prefer something like OPNSense, but it's x86 only and good PPPoE performance isn't guaranteed either - need a CPU with good single core performance that costs more than the BPI-R4, or apparently virtualizing OPNSense allows it to process PPPoE with multiple threads.

Love the way this is written with "questions" interspersed throughout to explain more about the steps taken. Adds good context that makes it very easy to follow.

Title doesn't really fit, but useful info on AOSP internals nonetheless.

The article states:

Lenovo tells us, “The biggest challenge in getting to a 10/10 was balancing repairability with all the other expectations of a commercial device: performance, reliability, thermal efficiency, form factor, and design integrity. Repairability isn’t achieved by a single change: it requires many small, intentional decisions across the entire system, and each of those decisions can introduce trade-offs.

What is daylight time - daylight savings? If so, I'm all for this. Dark in the mornings, more sun in the evenings, win-win.

For local services, I don't see the benefit of using DNS challenges and a Let's Encrypt certificate over running my own CA and generating my own certificates. It's not that much work to trust my root certificate on each device, and then I don't need an internet connection to verify local service certificates.
