The issue is that you don’t want to give some random untrusted process root access.
It’s been awhile since I’ve used anything but Magisk but usually you have to set root permissions per app, or you can get Magisk notification to request access.
A camera and GPS are two very different technologies with distinct capabilities that do not overlap.
Printing like to dead trees?
You could just use the system print dialog instead of Firefox’s if that works better for you, I think it’s possible to set it as default.
The push to live services, online DRM, microtransactions, DLC and other such things is because they have identified that there is more money to be made as a ‘server operator’ than a ‘game developer.’
They don’t really care about getting paid for the game, they’d rather give it away for free if they can make more money off controlling the servers.
They have sold two ‘tiers’ of kindles for awhile, the one with ads on the lock screen is discounted.
It’s not my favorite thing but iirc the lock screen is supposed to be the only place with ads.
Usually a remote is standard issue with a TV, most(all?) of them have a mute button.
They can pry the mute button from my cold dead heads.
Tesla’s reasoning for going away with a method universally used for signaling turn for decades is that it enables them to remove a physical part, the stalk, and it believes activating a turn signal will soon be unnecessary with the advent of self-driving.
Spit my drink up a bit when I read that.
It’s from the earlier days of computing/portable devices where almost nothing had the sort of inter-connectivity we take for granted.
You’d download apps or music onto your PC and then ‘sideload’ them onto your PDA or MP3 players.
Sometimes this required both proprietary cables and software. (This is why some of us still get excited by simple USB ports)
their forums and the subreddit is public space
They are moderated public spaces, there are plenty of actually public spaces to discuss things.
Coil whine is probably not the most well known thing, but I’m surprised you never tried to Google something about “high pitched computer noises” before posting about it.
It’s mostly up to which manufacturers allow boot loader unlocking.
The pixels are somewhat a continuation of the nexus line which were more developer centric.
Piped is based on NewPipe’s extractor.
If you want an app it’s available on f-droid or with sponsor block on Izzy’s repo.

Apple is just going to turn the codebase to iMessage over to a 3rd party?
You’ve got that backwards - beeper was offering to do that for their own codebase.
Having the right cartridge available without trying to find a shop selling them is.
One of the obstacles in this is if your printer only takes a single brand of ink.
I usually just order ink, but it’s not too hard to find ones compatible with my brother in a store if I need one immediately.

It seemed to be just a 5 second wait.
The weird part is that changing user agent to chrome seems to avoid it.
That’s a better way to frame it.
The patch is ‘about as open source as you can get’ but the actual application is far from it.
I suppose it’s possible to build a system that would let you specifically allow a VPN IP to be green-listed on your account, but you’d probably have to allow it by signing in from a known good IP first.
I think it seems like lot of work for something that isn’t really private and is still probably vulnerable to exploit.
