  • There are exploits out there either kept secret by malicious/proprietary parties, or not practical for consumer desires to get a proper rooted experience.

    Pretty much the only method to fix it if you're affected that I can think of is to factory reset your phone with a manufacturer provided image, and even then it's not 100% guaranteed if the bootloader is compromised.

  • The main issue I run into is that even when I use a standard format like ODF, sending a document to someone using a different office suite often leads to various formatting breaking. It's to the point that if I know the person I'm sending the document to, isn't going to be editing it, I send it as a PDF.

    I felt deceived when Microsoft added ODF file support, only for formatting to still break when exporting/importing from another suite. What was the point if I'd get the same results as loading a DOCX in Libre Office?

  • They aren't using ActivityPub, what Mastodon and Lemmy use, they're using their own new protocol called AT (Authenticated Transfer). So it's less that they don't plan on federating with anybody else, and more that there's nobody to federate with. Maybe somebody else might pickup AT in the future, but AT is still a work in progress and there isn't a lot of incentive for anybody to do so yet.

  • In the US at least, it's one of the bigger VOD/PVOD services, where you can buy and rent movies and TV shows. It also integrates with MoviesAnywhere, a service that lets you sync Disney, WB, Sony, and Universal movie purchases between multiple VOD/PVOD services like Vudu, ITunes, Amazon, Google, etc.

  • Yeah, if it wasn't for my niche needs and desires of using my SteamDeck without touching the system partition, I probably wouldn't have messed with Nix because of how much of a confusing mess of modes and switches there are, and I've used terminal based package managers for years. It's very far from the simple "it just works" of Flatpaks.

  • Probably the scattering effect of the clouds. Instead of light coming from one direction, which you can angle away from to reduce intensity, the diffused light from the clouds is bouncing every which way. Which while making the intensity less, instead keeps it constant no matter where you face. I often wear sunglasses while driving on cloudy days for similar reasons.

    Basically, looking at direct sunlight will obviously be more damaging, but diffused light doesn't give you a break.

  • Because it's great at killing things, including human skin. Seriously, my local gym has people practically sign their life away before letting them into a UV-A/B tanning booth. No way are you putting the even worse UV-C bulbs out in public. That's how people got their retinas fried at a crypto conference in Hong Kong last year.

  • Companies see the writing on the wall with all the right to repair legislation going around, so they're trying to make themselves look good now instead of fighting it anymore. At least publicly.
