as far as I'm aware, Adroid is not the same as the requirement here, which requires specific Google attestation. There is GrapheneOS, HarmonyOS by Huawei, LineageOS for older phones and many more Android ROMs. Additionally, Linux phone

Why? To sell you something. If the traditional web incentives were to disappear, the internet will become just ads, selling things & work. The web won't die. It will just become even more commercialized than it already is. You migh

I second what the other commenters have said. There are several factors at play making conflicts almost impossible: - A central device can be immediately synced to. For Nextcloud, it could be a server, for direct synchronization that I use

LMDE is Debian-based, I believe you meant Linux Mint itself, which also doesn't use snaps. You get all the driver support and tools from the Ubuntu base, with some nice additons. However, not all desktop environment are supported.

A slight factor differentiating security systems here is involved to the advantage of defenders: Attackers have to find a whole exploit chain, while defenders only need to fix one part of it.

The donation is more or less virtue signaling rather than actual insight. The problem can not be helped by research research against cybercrime. Proper practices for protections are well established and known, they just need to be implement

This is certainly missing some kind of legend explaining the colors of the lines, and what data is actually shown. Is "red" high or low velocity? And as an example, I do not understand what the "Boeing vs. Airbus" select

I find it rather strange that so many email providers have to develop their own "app". There are so many good clients out there, and I'd rather have 1. The team focus on their core offering, and 2. the existing email client i

So true. In such an LLM-driven game though, I would imagine the player would just ask the NPC: "I forgot what to do" or even "Can you explain it in other terms?" (if the quest description isn't clear enough).

Reading the article further, they do note that "A suspected memory leak in Windows’ OS-buffered cache region could be the problem.", although I concede that no source is provided for that.

Yep. So much for "built for the web". While I know that a lot of software is only tested on Chrome and Safari, I would expect different when marketing as being web-based.
