Expiration dates on packaged food are almost always about how enjoyable the food is to eat, not safety. Donating expired packaged food with legal protection from liability would be good for the world.
The headline is a little misleading. The actual ruling is that police can obtain warrants to install surveillance malware on phones when they have evidence the owner is using it to communicate about crimes.
Locked bootloaders
From what I can tell, all the karma thresholds are dynamic and probably only knowable by admins. If nearly 1000 isn't enough to avoid rate limiting then they sound pretty aggressive.
From my perspective HN's approach seems to do pretty well at mitigating bad behavior, but might be a little too hard on newcomers and casual users.
Low-karma accounts are rate-limited. I don't know what the threshold is, but that goes away after you gain some karma.
What killed it?
I don't think there's a single correct size for a phone. Different people want different things; many want huge phones with screens over 7" while some of us think the Pixel 4a is too big.
My phone got an update on July 18. LineageOS is great.
That's only "tiny" because phones today are huge. The Pixel 4a, which passes for small today at 144x69mm has a 3140 mAh battery.
The Jelly Max is 129x63mm, smaller than the iPhone 12 Mini's 132x64mm. That phone has a 2227 mAh battery.
The 4000 mAh battery is probably a contributing factor. I'd probably buy this with a smaller battery, assuming the bootloader is easily unlockable.
Wait... there's no headphone jack? Alright, keeping my Pixel 4a for another year.
Is it? Android already disables sideloading by default, requires each source to ask for permission, and prompts the user before each install. How does Samsung's additional setting improve security?
The document states that Microsoft is obligated to make available its APIs in its Windows Client and Server operating systems that are used by its security products to third-party security software makers.
The document does not, however say those APIs have to exist. Microsoft could eliminate them for its own security products and then there would be no issue.
