I think the case is still developping, but I hate these laws that forbid employees from working at other companies. I thate to take Apple's side, but I don't think hiring the engineers was wrong.

Like you accummulate knowledge at your current company, and you're not supposed to use it ever in any job? Bullshit. Masimo could have offered their knowlesge employees better salaries stock options so they stay, at the end of this case if Masimo wins, it's the employees that will lose.

Anyone working in a specialized field will find it hard to be hired as new companies will be afraid of the same thing here.

As an OSS user, and developper, OPT-OUT is a shitty practice. It should be opt-in to users who face crashes issues if they want to share that data (they care enough to provide their info to the dev to fix it). I know this makes users sound entitled, but otherwise the "opt-out" permission will be exploited by someone which will make users even more paranoid about OSS apps.

I know lots of people will say it's useless bla bla bla, but hear me out. Xiaomi still allows bootloader unlocking, this means you can remove their spyware firmwaew and put a decent AOSP alternative, with "unlimited" updates, or add support via postmarketOS.
This phone will be future proofed for a decade, as people said the same thing about phones with 6GB/8GB ofnl RAMs a decade ago.

Temporary solution, but works for now.

But OP did it first, and now he's already few steps ahead in the OS game, and prefers to let everyone know that he was there first. So stop these posts you guys.

Amaze file manager. Resurrected so many times. Great interface.

FOSS means that the app has its source available somewhere (usually github), and can be used to compile it. Additionally it has to have a compatible license. I doubt MiXeplorer has either.

Although I agree, it's tough to make a whitelist than a blacklist, as the latter requires only 1 bad decision, the former is tough to assess (how many good decision to be on the list, ex Microsoft support lots of open source projects, should they be added?)

Did they something in their recent API? How come OS van kill background apps if battery set to unrestricted?

Drug cartels and gangs spreading everywhere, homelessness in big cities, you can't walk at night alone as a woman without being harrassed.

It's mainly done for smart bome feature. People want fully automated homes, and right now more than 90% of all "smart devices are basically botnets. Zigbee ftw.
