Honestly yeah that does also kinda piss me off because my phone or laptop can essentially already do the same stuff. Like this toy is basically getting mixed up as some actual hacking tool while in reality it's just a little dinky device that you can do cool things with. Like control your TV or have it shout back RF at things. The entire main purpose of this device is to serve as a digital pet to maintain which I think is cute and charming. I'm probably definitely going to buy one in the future to piss off my local government.
Yeah exactly no root access required.
Shivering at the thought smartphones have more power then all my computers now.
...and the added abstraction of being in my ass.
No unless you wanna no longer be on the internet on the fediverse publically.
I didn't even know this happened. Mainly because the moment Google blocked rooted and custom ROMs for Google Messages. I just stopped using the app outright.
BTW you can control systemd and how fast it chooses SIGKILL after sending SIGTERM. I don't know why people complain so much about it. It's really just there such that things on your computer end properly without any sort of data corruption or something bad going on after a reboot or the next time you turn on your computer.
It also depends on whether it's exynos or not. Qualcomm has been strong-arming Samsung into kindly locking their bootloaders.
I thought that was the Calyx developer?
Some Linux distros do this as well automatically. I accidentally updated my bios several times until my laptop stopped receiving updates.
Its even worse when you force Firefox to use wayland its icon doesn't even show.
Edit: Oh since everyone now is confused; I only have the flatpak version of Firefox installed yet it doesn't use the pinned icon and doesn't even use the firefox icon under wayland at all.
Man! These guys are literally recreating what made using Symbian a pain to deal with and what sparked its downfall. Even if it was somewhat warranted due to the legitimate malware but atleast you could still run Java and Flash apps with permissions just fine. Now the last reason to run android is basically disappearing and I'm kinda glad I degoogled my latest pixel as of late. But like I also hate that we are moving into an era where you cannot even control what apps are on your mobile device right now. It was already bad enough with the automatic opening of Google Play for sideloaded apps and now its only to get worse from there. Genuinely speaking android when it first came out was a breath of fresh air compared to symbian and iOS. It's kinda a shame that now it's losing what made it great to begin with.
