I think many Firefox users are tech savvy enough to know that Firefox for iOS is just a reskinned Safari. They know that it isn’t the real-deal and so any stats on who uses Firefox on iOS are kind of misrepresenting the situation.

iOS would have root access to aGPS (or even real GPS) to determine location. There’s no easy way to spoof that against a determined asshole actor.

The reason they moved back is because Excel.

Sounds like a good way to get a new tv and move away from roku. They’re really piling on the ads lately and making their os really slow.

Both are bad. One is objectively more bad.

Yeah but it was an unsecure piece of shit for more than the past decade

Yeah that’s the case with programming… well anything. This at least gives you a way to automatically receive all of that data from any app without excessive prior knowledge. With a small amount of info you can filter for specific events and create all kinds of robust functionality. That’s the power of a set protocol - it is to make things widely compatible with one another by only depending on the dbus protocol and app name. Otherwise you may need to depend on some shared objects which makes deployment and maintenance a total clusterfuck.

It’s much easier to understand how dbus works once than to understand how every daemon you connect to works every time you interface with a new daemon.

I used to love Thinkpad laptops up until Lenovo bought the line - build quality dropped off a cliff after that. I’ve avoided them since then so I can’t comment on their current build qualities except to say they used to be built stronger than those toughbooks with handles.

Yeah but how is the experience? While I’m not a fan of MacOS the polish and integration with the hardware is excellent. Hmm… I may need to see if I can dual boot this machine and check it out myself.

I haven’t ever tried to root an android device and Linuxify it before. Now I am curious. I use Linux at work but I am no greybeard and that task sounds like something suited for someone with a little more crust than myself.

ARM is a RISC processor at heart. Or at least it was at one point - I’m not sure how or if they’ve deviated. Time for some wikipedia.

All of the others were just USB 2.0. Comparing them to a TB4 cable is kind of hilarious.

Honestly if you want it to be portable, you’re going to have to use a RISC processor. The x86 processors are just so energy inefficient for most instructions that the battery is drained too quickly and it requires a much bigger battery to compensate.

Hold on. I’m applying for a mortgage and I want the bank to pay off my loan for me after 6 months of payments.

… the title implied this article would have best practices.

Oh dang. It sucks to hear that my 10 year old GPU is still poorly supported.

No, and it makes inter process communication a removed. You’re basically forced to use a tcp or udp socket on local host.

I see they also have an ARM model available. Shit… at $240 after shipping I might buy that for my 10 year old to get him into Linux.
