Thanks for taking the quote of context. It's not like the sentence as a whole could ever have any more meaning than a snippet of it. As I clearly stated, what is user-controlled is the sideband channel to debug the system on consumer h

I wonder if it will have proper CCD (Case Closed Debugging)[0] support. With CCD, you are pretty much free to mess around with the "BIOS" of the machine, without fear of being put in a bad situation. It also provides a serial term

I can't find a proper citation, but rounding is undefined. The recommended guideline[0] is to round to the nearest 5¢. This article from 2013 is my closest citation to "undefined behaviour"[1] > These guidelines are only a

The author is likely Canadian given their current biography snippet. There were Radio Shacks in Canada, before they ended up being renamed The Source in 2004[0]. So in 2009, the year cited in the article, they would have gone to "The S

Conceptually, it needs to take in account the type of date it handles. The question to ask is “does it matter when in the week or a month a date is selected?” or similar. Under these considerations, I can say that for a "well known&quo

Any idea if they'll make a "gmail.com" account migration utility down the line? This is extremely concerning for Play store purchases, and anything non-email attached to the "google apps for your domain" account, li

I figure all play store purchases and similar content are now taken hostage. Are there any ways to migrate those licenses to a "google account"? Or am I being forced to pay to keep using licenses I already paid for? Oh, and what a

Only thing missing is indexing of branches and forks. My main use case for GitHub search is identifying provenance of misc. changes in vendor source code tarballs for e.g. Android kernel releases. It's hard, but sometimes possible to r

I can't say for your particular model, since you didn't list it, but there is generally a trade-off: the arrow keys make the keyboard area larger and less "squared" (rectangled) as they will protrude from the bottom of t

Short answer "not really". While it could be used to recover the phone, it requires a "programmer" program, which is signed by the vendor (Google, here) that hasn't been leaked. Or, really, I should say that these p

This is a "normal 'GNU/Linux' distro" (well if NixOS is normal for you). Just like NixOS doesn't prescribe a user interface, it is left to the end-user to choose what they want to run. As such, this is meant to

Again you're right. Though the problem is that NixOS itself still doesn't have the answer for this question. So it's less about "Why Mobile NixOS?" and more "Why NixOS?". Mobile NixOS is intended to be s
