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

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

I assume that’s how SCP-3008 was created

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

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

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

Every carrier lets you use an unlocked phone on their network

T-Mobile no longer lets you buy unlocked phones from them

All of the security features mentioned in the article even started from work done by GrapheneOS - they’re simply upstreamed now

Microsoft has agreed to purchase all of the power from the reactor over the next 20 year

https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/20/microsoft-taps-three-mile-island-nuclear-plant-to-power-ai/?guccounter=1

The original reporting sounded decent - Microsoft was spinning up a decommissioned reactor, everyone wins

This new reporting of they can’t afford it makes it seem like a bad idea in its entirety

I mean, it’s internally consistent with the inbetween too, for the first three:

They went Xbox, did a 360 to face the same direction, and re-released the Xbox 1

If your speedometer/tachometer is a screen instead of dials, it’s extremely likely it’s running Linux, too

So still somewhat useful in the auto space
