It is a setuid binary because it does sudo. You cannot accomplish sudo without setuid. Note that sudo means gaining privilege in the current context, with all its environment (including inherited file descriptors, the process group, etc

pkexec is a setuid binary because pkexec is just a sudo-alike that uses polkit for authorization. > a scheme of having a privileged service that acts on the requests of unprivileged processes That is precisely what polkit is!

> newer Android versions would not run on this chip Why would all the Android Java stuff actually require a newer chip? e.g. OnePlus 3 started with 7.x, was officially updated only to 9.x, but with LineageOS it runs 11.x currently. &gt

Most processors with Arm cores do not have "management engines", in fact lots are almost blob-free. Some like Marvell Armada 7k/8k can run without any blobs.

Way to bury the lede — "simple note taking app" usually makes people think of the usual text notes. This is a handwritten notes app for drawing tablets, like a more modern xournalpp. Nice!

Oh, 0 in stock now. Was completely not found on jlcpcb when I wrote that comment. Sometimes I forget how buggy that search is.

The language selector being "Objective-C or Java " is quite something. Tiger really was made in that era…

How is it "nice" when any struct member could map to either an attribute or a child element? XML is a markup language. It's in the name even. Trying to use it for serialization is weird.

Manufacturers have the option of producing standards-compliant goddamn hardware! Say for PCIe, even if it's a buggy and quirky implementation but it does support ECAM, you can still expose a PNP0A08 and deal with quirks in firmware (

These 32-bit SurfaceRT/etc. devices were a complete failure; this has nothing to do with current Surface Pro X etc. which do allow everyone to easily turn Secure Boot off.

Didn't Linux developers say that Qualcomm's ACPI tables are a horrific Windows-specific mess that has close to zero standard PNP* things?

Where did the ISP idea come from?! How can ISPs do anything close to this when they're not even concerned with how many devices you have? ISPs just do not connect individual end user "devices", they connect subnets. > co

Buttcoiners' "future" is all about financializing everything. They have ZERO claim to "good old web 1.0 decentralization" because the original web was all about information wanting to be free!

What? I'm not saying SMS is the better option or something. I'm saying that people in most countries picked WhatsApp/Telegram over the Apple-specific iMessage !

Any decent (gaming/enthusiast/high-end) keyboard uses dioded on every key to achieve N-key rollover (sometimes only 4KRO on the USB output due to sticking with boot protocol or whatever other reasons)

Ask marcan for more info :) but IIRC Apple's secure element does not do anything by itself and is behind an IOMMU.
