All.non E2EE chat apps do this. Also Apple, Facebook, google etc. And don’t forget the us gov has no problem giving a gag order and demand backdoors and encryption keys (lavamail).

It sounds fake because it sounds like they only used software hacks. But they also added a microcontroller board in it with wireless networking

Touchè

She is right, using 0 index for physical stuff is stupid.

Yes they are presented in the programmer wrong. The first thing in memory should have offset 0 and index 1

Companies want profit but the people who run them want control. Sooner or later the companies will reconfigure themselves to benefit the bottom line.

Yeah ofc cheaters don’t admit it. That doesn’t mean anyone accused of cheating is a cheater.

That “study” you are quoting is a survey from irdeto, owner of denuvo. And while skimming it I can’t even find the claim that 57% are using cheats.

Thay say it’s for security, but it’s to avoid accountability.

If you need to not have a cable, the butane ones would be a better fit.

It’s 80$ and doesn’t include a battery. But the ifixit one does include a USB cable and a bevel tip (cone tips are bad)

So it’s more like $26 plus $4 for pine USB cable, plus $6-11 for a ts100 bevel tip. $41 vs $80

Pinecil is 26$ and has a screen.

I wished this morning existed way before it was out. I have been using it from day 1. I love it.

To move a folder (gui), you just do it. To move a directory (cli) you have to implicitly say you want the contents too.

Oh the big lebowsky part, i dont get it either

Its like saying bank robbery is against bank’s gun carrying policy.

Sure its true, but thats not really the problem being addressed. The massive, notorious security vulnerability is.

Articles says it’s the third tome

People here saying you can just download and run the .deb just like the .exe

Aren’t you forgetting the “add +x permission” step?

Yes people would assume you have curl. Curl is often used to install programs. And curl is definitely one of the things that can do malicius things this way. So you are right to be hesitant to use commands that you don’t understand. Most Linux users have forgotten how hard it is to learn the first stuff with no preaquired knowledge.

If you have googled “what is curl and how is it used” you may have found some relevant info.

I have given up on Linux because installing was hard in the past

There are some tools that make installing software easier. Like “appimage” files that are single files that (after you make executable) are completely self contained.

Flatpacks and snaps have an “store” like experience.

.deb files are also sometimes simple (also need to be made executable) (depends on the distro)

Unfortunately there is no .exe file experience.

Are you suggesting to a new user to build from source when he can’t run a couple of commands?
