In the end their name, their achievements and their reputation has been transferred, and nothing else. I feel they (the studios’ teams) have been made use of to then deceive people who trust the names.

I’m sure you’re building the best business you can.

I think they actually tried to use the transfer function, from how they worded it

Android is also linux based. Is chrome os more like Linux than that?

While I agree with you, the first step for user centric Android flavors regarding security is to support relocking the bootloader, with a custom (preferably the user’s own) digital signature. As long as we dont have that, an attacker could flash or just boot a custom bootloader through fastboot that does its own thing.

However that doesn’t really depend on Android system developers, I think, as the problem arises from the inferiority of almost every phone’s bootloader (chain) (because most phones does not support setting up a custom signature for bootloader verification), and probably that can only be reasonably solved by device manufacturers, because as I understand, bootloaders do a lot of heavily device specific things, so there cant really be a common (primary) bootloader, and making one for each phone is a lot of work that also involves lots of reverse engineering, and maybe the early bootloaders cant even be overwritten on some phones…

Do you think this one will be there too, with tencent in the picture?

Hacker news? That makes me suspicious that maybe there’s a different problem

You don’t.

Not because of Biden, but to me threads blocking is a positive. I hope instances won’t undo their decision.

It’s also something if it only supports that in software, with you needing to refill the paper once more.

I don’t want to be that guy, but if they really want to be tracking prints, black and white printing does not need to make it impossible. There’s other ways to code information.

Until you replace it’s battery. Often it’s still doable, even if needlessly cumbersome

Using the cable it could be much faster though. If it worked, that is.

It doesn’t even have to be interesting. It’s enough if it’s not disgusting

It does nothing, how can it be heavier than an actual Linux Distribution?

Are you sure about that? Data mining, even to the extents that take toll on user experience, is a common thing in consumer electronics

To me that doesn’t really compute. I like to see a lot of information on my screen and my eyes aren’t as young as they were.

I do too, but glasses help a lot. In my use case 5" is plenty, though not with default settings: global UI size was tweaked so everything is smaller, and more fits on screen.

I don’t really like looking at curved screens

Neither do I, and I’m doing everything I can to avoid those phones. No feature can balance that huge con.

Flat screens aren’t as easy to do that with especially as I like to use a case.

Hmm, interesting. I’m using gestures too, some more than others, and with a flat screen it’s fine for me.

To me that’s the exact and only purpose of a phone: for it to be a handheld portable computer. For that purpose I should be able to use it with one hand

Unfortunately it does not look like as if linux phones would be developing anywhere

Outlook (the one that uploads your email login password to microsoft, and which markets this as a feature)

Probably none, but I think OP did not say this
