I agree, but at least requiring USB PD, as it's written, will at least give you 240 watt USB-C charging if they offer higher than 240 watt charging through a proprietary standard

Manufacturers are allowed to add supplementary charging standards on top of USB-C PD, and the commission is required to review the landscape every 5 years to see if a new technology is better than USB-C that should be adopted in the future

Jobs was specifically against the App Store when the first gen came out

It was added as an update to the first gen after the 3g came out

I see some apps there that are also in F-Droid

Is there a big benefit to Obtanium for apps that are also released there? My understanding is that Obtanium doesn't do any key verification of APKs, so I've only used it as a last resort

The iPhone 3g would be the first modern "smartphone" from Apple; before that it didn't allow adding more applications, same as the "dumb phones" before it. It just had a capacitive touchscreen and a better web browser

Even then, the batteries weren't glued in and it was significantly easier to replace

Apple got in trouble because they made the processor in the phone get slower as the battery got older, not for any of these 80% battery optimization things (which they also support now, but it was added after their scandal of slowing the processors down)

They also didn't inform the user, so there was no way an average user could know they could restore their device's old performance with a simple battery replacement

Not to be too conspiratorial, but isn't that a pretty good indicator that Meta capitulated and put a backdoor in WhatsApp for them?

We only get 200 GiB for that price in the USA - I was surprised they offer so much more over there

Wait - you can get 1tb for £2 there?

I wouldn't mind as much if it was that price.

It stems from companies being too cheap to get people work phones, but still wanting them to be available

git was created because a proprietary VCS was being a dick

We were taught about OpenMP in like 2012 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMP

Intel's TBB was also used some, but not as frequently https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading_Building_Blocks

For what it's worth, it seems like it's this "journalist" trying to make a sensational headline

The researchers themselves very clearly just tried to see if it could happen in our reality

"We decided to look at the probability of a given string of letters being typed by a finite number of monkeys within a finite time period consistent with estimates for the lifespan of our universe,"

I was reasonably certain, but left it open in case OP knew of some edge case where flags that are intended to be machine independent caused bugs on different architectures

-O2 vs -O3 adds -fgcse-after-reload -fipa-cp-clone -floop-interchange -floop-unroll-and-jam -fpeel-loops -fpredictive-commoning -fsplit-loops -fsplit-paths -ftree-loop-distribution -ftree-partial-pre -funswitch-loops -fvect-cost-model=dynamic -fversion-loops-for-strides

I don't think any of these optimizations require more modern hardware?

I've used Matrix since the app was called Riot.im and there was no encryption

I didn't realize once encryption was added, that there were still metadata leaks as compared to Signal

Could you give me some information on what metadata is unencrypted, or point me towards documentation about that?

For historical info - Oracle bought OpenOffice and started to close it down, so all the developers that worked on it forked it into LibreOffice

Oracle has since given OpenOffice to an open source group, Apache, but the main development still happens on LibreOffice

I have fond memories of playing it as a comedy game back when the Radeon RX 480 came out

There was a bug with the shaders in this game, so all the walls and many floors were rainbows 😂

Yeah. The crowd rooting for Qualcomm has never worked with them

ARM has it's problems, but they aren't in the wrong here

Is that how you think about your bills?
