Do we still fall for the China = must be spying, US = wouldn't spy unless it's disclosed?

It's fair to say whatever software you run from any country of origin is hoovering up as much data about you that it can get away with.

If you haven't compiled open source, audited code and are running on that, all bets are already off.

Is anyone tired of being told what AI is supposed to mean for the individual? As a software guy it's supposed to mean I am now a team lead of sorts. However all the people I see crowing about this never sought to become team leads in their career, nor did I.

Yet now suddenly everyone is supposed to want to become a team lead of sorts (ie. the agents becoming your team). I don't want to do that, I treat an AI agent as a pair in a pair programming unit. Nothing more, nothing less. If someone wants to treat it differently, good on them, but they have no place telling what works for thee works for me.

I find this pretty interesting. I am curious though: Did you dislike coding? You sound genuinely excited to not be doing it anymore.

For me I have been a coder since a very young age and I am nearing the end of my career now. I still love writing code to problem solve just as much as the first day I learnt to code. The thought of something taking that task away from me doesn't fill me with glee.

A parallel for me is if I enjoyed puzzle pages and those brought me with joy and satisfaction employing my grey matter to solve, I just wouldn't find it interesting to have an agent complete the forms to me, with me simply guiding the agent to clues.

So you are saying what is listed there currently doesn't warrant that reputation?

Keep Android Open 9 months ago

Between this and a growing number of oems not permitting bootloader unlocking (latest being Samsung with OneUI 8) Android's "open" future is pretty bleak.

This is brilliant. I happily bought it due to how nice and well thought out this is as well as the fascinating write up. I actually see a lot of legitimate situations for when an idea pops in my head and I want to quickly try it out when I only have my phone on me. I tried the egui sample and get a link error but will look more closely at why. One initial thought i would have is to make the swipe down to dismiss terminal gesture less aggressive as one often needs to scroll back the build output a fair bit.

Nice there were a few years early on where progressed seemed really slow but they are delivering so many great products now.

It's not the voltage, it's the current you'd want to halve. The wire gauge required to carry power is dependent on the current load. It's why when i first saw these new connectors and the loads they were being tasked with it was a wtf moment for me. Better to just avoid them in the first place though.

I wonder what privilege level this service runs at. If it's less than ring 0, i think some blame needs to go to Windows itself. If it's ring 0, did it really need to be that high??

Surely an OS doesn't have to go completely kaput due to one service crashing.
