It’s a one time delay that occurs when you first enable the ability to install downloaded apks and you never see it again for any device attached to your Google account. That’s why I called it a wildly overblown…
is like much of the discourse around the changes, overly sensationalized and borderline false. The only change made that's relevant to sideloading-a-downloaded-APK as far I understand, is a 24hour delay in enabling the…
I mean if you're gonna stop people from owning their device and doing what they want with it just because of the possibility of crime occurring then their are quite a few more things that probably should also no longer…
The Play Store is not required for APK distribution. Not now, nor has it ever been.
I also had one of this 11th Gen Intel FW13s, and the RTC battery on mine worked for a short time because they for some reason used some garbage rechargeable one with a 2 yr lifespan instead of the more common…

>>>At some point, execution speed starts to matter more than the elegance of the code. Execution speed only matters to investors and the stock market. Your users don't give a shit.
I mean all 3 of those also support LSP plugins, so would also spawn "multi GB nodeJS processes" with your tiny golang projects if you enable them.
So I'm not so sure how you arrived at your conclusion of Zed having higher memory use than VSCODE but in testing just now that's not at all close to true. Zed for me on my Linux machine opened to a massive C++ project…

Which when I last used it they forced you to do. I'm assuming this has changed in the several years since?
Well no actually I do not think either of my granmothers could have done that, nor would they have even known (or cared) what a Bitlocker even was.
Yes use Bitlocker, the thing that uploads the encryption key to OneDrive "for convenience" thereby negating the whole point of FDE in the first place
In my opinion if you learned something from it, it was useful. Bonus points if others learn from it as well, but if not then as long as you did then it doesn’t matter. AI age or not. I’ve always found hobby OS projects…
The letter of the law says you are correct. Reality however disagrees. People who are most definitely US citizens have in fact been put in jail for the simple not-crime of refusing to provide passwords to their devices…
The US has been doing that for years already. There's plenty of stories of people (US citizens included) being detained by border agents in US airports for refusal to provide said agents with access to their devices.
So if a company uses as part of its marketing for a product the phrase "advanced security, privacy, and connectivity for homes of every shape and size" and then is later found to have lied about the "advanced security"…
If that is truly what you think, then you clearly haven't used a Linux desktop distro since then because that absolutely incorrect.
OS makers should not be in the business of enforcing censorship. If you want to shield your children from the "horrors" of the internet either use proper parental control software, or don't allow access at all like you…
