    I'm no fan of the stock MIUI experience either, especially china-only variants, but with that said... The bootloader unlock is 7 days and has been for every xiaomi phone I've owned…

    FYI the word you're lookin for is 'vein' :) the other type means conceited/narcissistic.

    The assumption that a child can't give consent is based on their lack of understanding of what exactly they're consenting to, same as a drunk person can't give consent for the same…

    We may indeed have souls or be eternal; although I call myself atheist, I don't agree with subscribing with 100% certainty to any idea. As CosmicSkeptic points out everyone holds b…

    Serious question, does anyone really struggle with staying under their data limit anymore? I pay $28AUD a month and get 85GB, and I use about 20 of that per month?

    Sorry that's my bad, I meant *Fiddler not wireshark. Fiddler makes it a piece of cake to decrypt the extra tls, leaving you with just the encrypted data you were sending.

    The data is successfully encrypted before it's sent (which you can verify with wireshark). What exactly are your concerns, given that the data isn't encrypted locally in the first …

    It does when the position of each sensor relative to the position of the others matters. On earth that's trivial, but if you're 1.5 million kms out in space you could imagine this …

    It sounds like what you're describing is the end goal in the "hierarchy of competence", where "unconscious competence" is the last step. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stages_o…

    Sure would. Both work (partly) by increasing the communication between different parts of your brain. It's why people will "see" things after auditory stimuli, or vice versa. Chang…
