The purpose of Android for Google is to push users into paid services, Google search, collect some play store fees and some data. None of that actually requires Android to be really open. Just saying something about "open" works a

Theoretically, you can define systems of measurement where a lot of seemingly separate things fall on the same units and dimensions. There are "natural units" in physics where you take the fundamental nature of particles and relat

That's the first search engine hit I've pasted. The cheap ones that work just as well are single-digit prices. And usually there is one in every toolbox on the shop floor. Edit: if you need proof, 2 for 6.50€, shipping included:

You are right. Not an LLM problem, just an undecaffeinated meat brain and some faulty memories. I've misread 'When PS=0, the page table address field represents the physical address of the page table that manages the four megabyte

Yes, it is. All the siblings might talk a lot about "but ruggedized!", "but realtime!", "but supported!". But in many cases, it is just a case of vendor lock-in. Ruggedized is just a casing and decoupled I&#x2F

It is fine to have the fragment stripped before sending it to the server. What I meant was that client-side parsing of TSON in many languages will be hindered by the client-side libraries stripping the fragment far too early. Because you wi

Fragments are useless outside a browser and lead to problems. A lot of command line and library HTTP agents ignore the fragment part of an URL, so you often might encounter everything after # stripped. Thus forcing you to invent yet another
