Is support for cross-fork stacked PRs coming in the near future? I was surprised that didn't come before the feature entered public preview, as it seems rather important for the fe…

AirDrop is based on AWDL, which is a proprietary protocol that requires low-level access to the Wi-Fi radio to implement. Apple told the EU that they have long-term plans to migrat…

KDE Connect makes this work between all combinations Windows/macOS/Linux and iOS/Android: https://kdeconnect.kde.org/ Unfortunately, due to privacy restrictions on modern versions …

Things have inverted: iOS now has a user-visible filesystem apps can expose their data in, while current Android versions model everything around "documents" sourced from "document…

These rulings only affect third-party apps, not AirDrop. Apple is not required to stop using AWDL for system apps, and is also not required to allow third-party implementations of …

They don't. Google implemented AWDL, as can be trivially proven by just running `strings` on the new code in Play Services.

From my understanding, it's relatively well known how to break Widevine L3, but nobody wants to release code (for obvious reasons). Widevine L1 is much better secured, as it's requ…

Isn't this feature what's blocking Bluetooth Passthrough on macOS Dolphin?
