AFAIK: Development at AMD funded the dev to make it support AMD GPUs (instead of the then-supported Intel GPUs), Dev keeps a clause saying any and all work will remain open even if contract is cancelled, work is then halted by AMD and dev releases his updates on his repo, Legal then says later that the clause was not legally binding and can’t be enforced or such, making dev rollback to earlier Intel version

THE PLOT NO LONGER CLUMPENS!

I remember this old website that the YouTube team had made which visualised the amount of video time getting uploaded per day on YouTube over the years of its existence, and it was on the order of several years per day or something. Gotta find that site again

Add HMD Nokia to the blocking unlocks completely camp

Doesn’t that already exist as the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) partition?

It was initially intended to be a video stream handler, but they had concerns with audio syncing. They figured they might as well also handle audio in one cohesive AV server instead

It really lips the whamma’s ass

Unreal Engine is a major example, you get access to a private repo containing the engine’s source code but you’re bound by an agreement regarding what you can do with it IIRC. Of course anyone is allowed to apply for access though

For 2, the issue is most phones have a lock screen overview sorta effect, where the phone can wake up from sleep with movement or gestures. Actions on the lock screen can hence trigger things, like media playback and emergency dialling

Specific to JS, due to the double equals being type oblivious

'tis how LLM chatbots work. LLMs by design are autocomplete on steroids, so they can predict what the next word should be in a sequence. If you give it something like:

Here is a conversation between the user and a chatbot. <insert description of chatbot>

<insert chat history here>

User: <insert user message here>

Chatbot:

Then it’ll fill in a sentence to best fit that prompt, much like a creative writing exercise

I doubt we’ll need a whole different OS for Quantum though. That’s like saying we need a whole separate OS for GPUs. I find it more likely that they’ll be yet another accelerator attached to an orchestrating CPU.

Containers, the concept that Docker implements, lets app developers give a self-contained environment for distribution. For devs that means consistency in deployments across environments, which in turn means sysadmins can deploy each of these apps as fully isolated units.

With that, you get really clean installs/updates/uninstalls, and your deployments get done with a well-defined, declarative definition file which can also handle multi service dependencies (a la Docker Compose/K8s)

That might be more due to them not supporting HDR on Linux yet, but I’ll wait for someone else to confirm that

The firmware has to allow it, so if you’ve got physical access to the machine that’s possible. Remote access root, on the other hand, can’t tell the firmware to register new keys as long as it’s configured correctly

Generally yes. For many distros, the kernel signing key is with the distro maintainers and so the package comes with pre-signed kernel images. For distros like Arch and Gentoo, it’s the user’s responsibility to maintain the signing key and sign each updated kernel

Android has an Enterprise feature that allows devices to have an isolated “Work” profile from their Personal profile, complete with separate accounts and apps (though your device IDs are still likely shared due to it being the same device)

There’s this project called Island that allowed anyone to set it up on their own devices

Ah I figured I had that one wrong, thanks!

Because systemd (the project) extends more than just systemd (the init system). It also includes things like:

• systemd-journald (system logging)
• systemd-timesyncd (Network Time Sync)
• NetworkManager systemd-networkd (network interface/connection management)
• systemd-homed (Home directory management)
• systemd-resolved (DNS Resolver)

and so many more

Now, in my personal opinion, I do find it good in that these being under one umbrella project led to fairly good integration between these aspects of “system management” as a whole. But I do also concede that this may feel like too many responsibilities handled by one project
