I believe QPR includes security fixes as well, which should trigger the 4 month timer Your comment seemed to imply that a source release would trigger a different timer than a binary release, which is explicitly covered as the same thing in

You've explicitly quoted that source releases are not relevant: > or, if the source code is not publicly released, after an update of the same operating system is released by the operating system provider They have not released the

A branch doesn't use any more space than a commit... I'm curious what their complaint was with a large number of branches? There are various repositories with 500k+ commits

Ironically, Microsoft Office also fails to render most of my ODP/ODT files correctly, which are open standards. One might infer it's by design...

Reminds me of https://adamdrake.com/command-line-tools-can-be-235x-faster-... Cluster computing can be useful, but until you're talking about petabytes of data, it probably isn't helping you

I'm sure they aren't perfect, but their test suite and extensive fuzz testing is far better than any XML or JSON parser I've ever seen https://www.sqlite.org/testing.html

The issue is they're heavily implying it's something specific to PinePhone. I just scrolled through the legal notices on an iPhone, and they all have the exact same wording. Small components, such as the graphics libraries, the ke

The CPU isn't what's compromised - this is protecting against a compromised motherboard

There have been a couple in the wild, but they aren't super common. They've become a bigger concern with UEFI since it has a massive attack surface compared to legacy BIOS. For a processor sitting in AWS / Azure, they wan

It's not necessarily just Dell, they're just the first to use the feature. It also won't necessarily work in other Dell motherboards, just ones using the same key as the first. It's strange Dell would blow the fuses by d

Not really. If you had ubi, then you could still take those jobs for additional income for hobbies, travel, etc. As it is right now, you're losing money by taking these jobs.

From the article, yes: > I spoke with Verizon about the usage. They said it's getting categorized as audio and video streaming, but only because it's using network ports normally associated with those types of services.

You're getting far enough into JS knowledge that I don't have. Do you actually need clipboard events, or just dom.event.contextmenu.enabled for that?

I can highlight and ctrl+c without issue in their Writer clone. Never tried any others. I've only ever seen that setting fix sites that try to prevent you from copying.

I'm sure it's a large expense. However, they make more money from the data and market share they get from it. Why else would they keep moving things out of AOSP and into their proprietary frameworks? Same for Linux itself - howeve

They don't want to support charities. They want to get people that want that to spend more money with them. They did the math, and the number of people that will say "no" to that permission is significantly smaller than the a
