The actual problem is that many brick chargers assume that a low current means charging is finished so it cuts the power, this is extra common with battery packs.
You want USB PD PPS for a charger which is much more likely to actually understand that the device wants and should get the specific amount of power it’s asking for, either low or high.
Evaporative cooling needs less water mass and less surface area for the same cooling effect. They could simply use bigger heat sinks outside the building and have a bigger water cooling system to make it closed loop, but they don’t want to do that.
Wiki deletions move articles to an archived status. You can appeal.
IR transmitters
Miracast (in base open source Android, especially access to the ability to receive)
Scrolling notification text in the notification bar (seriously, that was sooooo much better than the obnoxious new default pop-up notifications)
A bunch of permissions that’s been too locked down (stuff used by Tasker, networking tools, etc)
No nationalists of any kind, no fundamentalists
iMessage will use SMS for 2 person conversations with Android, MMS for groups (and if your carrier disabled MMS it doesn’t work IIRC)
Using iMessage with backups does mean the backups are unencrypted and accessible by warrant (unless you use advanced data protection)
The Pink Elephant problem of LLMs. You can not reliably make them NOT do something.
Good except for the critical features they didn’t add. Like when the iPhone didn’t have copy-paste, but on a Microsoft phone, way later.
Last update in December
Both ARM itself and Linux for ARM has been standardizing a fair bit recently. But not to the extent to be fully generic, mostly just enough for portable bootable kernels - and after that you still need all the same custom drivers and configurations to make proper use of a SoC, but it’s not nothing.

It’s all encrypted in storage. The decryption key is in the secure element / TPM chip, additionally protected by your PIN / password. Shutting it down unloads all encryption keys from memory.
Beware that US customs / immigration / border control can seize your phone and refuse entry.
The Pixel line is comparable to the Samsung S line, you got a budget phone before
The judge explicitly did not allow piracy here. Only legally acquired media can be used for training.
This case didn’t cover the copyright status of outputs. The ruling so far is just about the process of training itself.
IMHO the generative ML companies should be required to build a process tracking the influence of distinct samples on the outputs, and inform users of potential licensing status
Division of liability / licensing responsibility should depend on who contributes what to the prompt / generation. The less it takes for the user to trigger the model to generate an output clearly derived from a protected work, the more liability lies on the model operator. If the user couldn’t have known, they shouldn’t be liable. If the user deliberately used jailbreaks, etc, the user is clearly liable.
But you get a weird edge case when users unknowingly copy prompts containing jailbreaks, though
The ruling explicitly does not allow pirating. It only lets you run ML training on legally acquired media.
They still haven’t ruled on copyright infringement from pirating the media used to train, and they haven’t ruled on copyright status of outputs (what it takes to be considered transformative).
This is judge Alsup, same guy who ruled in Oracle vs Google
1: SteamOS don’t run unnecessary services in the background. (especially stuff like print services and other random shit)
1b: Even regular Linux, which does run a bunch of extra services, still generally has less overhead because it’s still being optimized for lighter weight systems, and it idles more efficiently too. Meanwhile Windows doesn’t have a good way to tell your printer driver and its corresponding services to shut up when you’re gaming.
2: Antivirus programs
3: Drivers, graphics system. This is both a plus and minus, but for performance mostly plus. More efficient driver model, less overhead again. Sometimes the performance comes from lacking features which doesn’t get executed fully, though. Sometimes it comes from translating to Vulkan, because DirectX has some more overhead (and in these specific cases you can get the same performance boost on Windows by switching to Vulkan).
I run a cryptography forum
Encryption doesn’t hide data sizes unless you take extra steps
Anything can be reconsidered by a later SCOTUS if they’re willing
