I believe QPR includes security fixes as well, which should trigger the 4 month timer Your comment seemed to imply that a source release would trigger a different timer than a bina…

You've explicitly quoted that source releases are not relevant: > or, if the source code is not publicly released, after an update of the same operating system is released by the o…

If you'd bothered to read: ```This definition excludes signatures and some metadata and focuses solely on the payload of packaged files in a given RPM: A build is reproducible if g…

A branch doesn't use any more space than a commit... I'm curious what their complaint was with a large number of branches? There are various repositories with 500k+ commits

Ironically, Microsoft Office also fails to render most of my ODP/ODT files correctly, which are open standards. One might infer it's by design...

Reminds me of https://adamdrake.com/command-line-tools-can-be-235x-faster-... Cluster computing can be useful, but until you're talking about petabytes of data, it probably isn't h…

It's far less interesting than finding an exploit in git-shell, which was how I read the headline :|

I'm sure they aren't perfect, but their test suite and extensive fuzz testing is far better than any XML or JSON parser I've ever seen https://www.sqlite.org/testing.html

If the conversation is > Software engineering does not put safety first I'm 100% agreed. If the conversation is > The PinePhone has less quality control than Android/iOS It's paten…

The issue is they're heavily implying it's something specific to PinePhone. I just scrolled through the legal notices on an iPhone, and they all have the exact same wording. Small …

Ah. Yeah. The motherboard just loads BIOS/UEFI into a predefined memory address and then starts the CPU This is a pretty good explanation https://manybutfinite.com/post/how-compute…

The CPU isn't what's compromised - this is protecting against a compromised motherboard

There have been a couple in the wild, but they aren't super common. They've become a bigger concern with UEFI since it has a massive attack surface compared to legacy BIOS. For a p…

BIOS (UEFI) level rootkits

It's not necessarily just Dell, they're just the first to use the feature. It also won't necessarily work in other Dell motherboards, just ones using the same key as the first. It'…

Fixed Headline: Businesses don't have enough need for summer workers to pay them

Not really. If you had ubi, then you could still take those jobs for additional income for hobbies, travel, etc. As it is right now, you're losing money by taking these jobs.

I don't know if it works there, but siri couldn't understand one of my contacts names When it read back super incorrectly from an alias, I said something to the effect of "could yo…

It's dramatically simpler and more intuitive than what it replaced, so I'm super excited when someone comes up with something even better!

From the article, yes: > I spoke with Verizon about the usage. They said it's getting categorized as audio and video streaming, but only because it's using network ports normally a…

You're getting far enough into JS knowledge that I don't have. Do you actually need clipboard events, or just dom.event.contextmenu.enabled for that?

I don't suppose you've open sourced that somewhere? My work has switched to iPhones, and I really miss NoScript when using Safari

I can highlight and ctrl+c without issue in their Writer clone. Never tried any others. I've only ever seen that setting fix sites that try to prevent you from copying.

about:config -> dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled = false You can't do it through a user agent, though

I'm sure it's a large expense. However, they make more money from the data and market share they get from it. Why else would they keep moving things out of AOSP and into their prop…
