Good point about root exploit. It's a potential.
Thing is, every Linux server and windows box suffers the same risk... But we don't hear "the sky is falling" about those... Because it's considered a measured risk and security is layered. As it should be.
Hell, people still run windows laptops unencrypted today - which is far worse than an unlocked bootloader on Android.
Oh that's cool to hear about. Neat!
Whenever someone says it isn't dead to them, it tells me they don't realize most average consumers care about convenience most of all.
They (the average consumer - that is about 98% of them) don't understand the tech, so have no way of forming an opinion or realizing why they may want a jack.
Or removeable batteries, etc. They're easily swayed by shiny and seemingly "easy to use".
I'd say well-maintained and prepared for use. As in tools need be well-maintained to be useful.
If you can't see how you moved them, I can't help you.
I've worked with folks from around the world (including Central and South Americans), some can be touchy about it. Had to tell them "sorry, I, as an American, don't define these terms. Blame Europeans, not me".
"US", "America", "Americans" all have specific denotations... per EMEA, and hell, even Canadians.
It's like nicknames - if you have one, you didn't choose it. It was earned or applied by someone else.
Yea, that's on the asswipe saying that. We get to meet them everywhere.
That description of American Colonists is exactly why there was a rebellion.
The English treated the colonists like second-class citizens, going so far as to try to get Ben Franklin to answer for things like the Tea Party, while he was in England, and a Loyalist.
The simplistic "rebelled over taxation" is just a representation of how the Crown and European Brits viewed and treated the colonists.
Colonists didn't quit Britain, the Briton's quit on the Colonists.
Yep. When my infinity app stopped working a couple days ago I said I'm done.
Now if I want something from reddit I just let my search engine find the post I need. Then save it to OneNote (lots of Android, Pi, Windows stuff)
Let the arseholes bring their ideas into the light, so we know who they are and what they think.
Suppression is just a bad idea, and your naivete is terrifying.
Don't see why this was removed. Though it does go right back to OP's victim mentality.
