SSDs make hibernate even more powerful

That's why things like suspend-then-hibernate are popular now

Maybe that's an Android thing?

My wife uses douyin on an American SIM all the time. She had to get someone from the mainland to type a pin for her when she first installed it, but there wasn't any hardware based attestation on iOS

It also says

ChatGPT responded with information already publicly available on the internet and provided warnings against harmful or illegal activities.

So without the article comparing the search terms to what the person would have found typing into google, it's quite pointless to hand wring about AI

If you're seriously wanting to compile optimized software for those devices, you would want to investigate "cross compiling"

Transfer speed isn't part of this regulation, but yeah, making it clearer on the box the max power output on chargers and cables would be a good continuation of the requirements

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

[–] ozymandias117 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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?

 

I was looking at a grocery receipt, and there are three different tax rates depending on the items. The receipt doesn't even specify which items are taxed at which rate - just the total at each percentage.

I understand the goal of lower or higher taxes on groceries is to incentivize purchasing healthier options over more processed foods, but does it really affect purchasing decisions when the final price of the items is opaque to the consumer?

I’m considering trying out an immutable distro after using Tumbleweed for the last 6 years.

The two major options for me seem to be Fedora Kinoite or uBlue Aurora-dx

My understanding is that universal-blue is a downstream of Fedora Atomic

So, the points in favor of Kinoite is sticking closer to upstream, however it seems like I would need to layer quite a few packages. My understanding is that this is discouraged in an rpm-ostree setup, particularly due to update time and possible mismatches with RPMFusion

uBlue Aurora-dx seems to include a lot of the additional support I’d need - ROCm, distrobox, virt-manager, libratbag, media codecs, etc. however I’m unclear how mature the project is and whether it will be updated in a timely manner long term

I’m curious what the community thinks between the two as a viable option

 

I'm not sure if this is an iOS bug or an issue with wefwef, but any time I select a text entry, I don't get a keyboard on an iPhone 13 running iOS 16.5.1 and wefwef 0.10.4.

Is this a known issue?

 

I tend to lean towards melodic death metal and symphonic metal, so hopefully this fits!
