The most active posts are now bot-created open-ended conversation starters on r/askreddit to stir up activity and give the illusion of a thriving community. The questions are usually very redditer patronizing, and some of them are thinly veiled marketing analysis to create value for future shareholders. they’re often saturated with butt created responses.
As to why the post in question may not still exist? I suspect substantial posts about bot saturation are probably filtered out.
I suppose that clarifying it as ‘uncertified open source Android’ would be more appropriate.
Thank you. I was not aware of that. I don’t really know how to check to see if a link has been posted before. I would like to avoid reposting. 'sure would be nice if a veteran citizen of Leamington could explain it. I have re- re-titled the title in light of your comment.
I respectfully disagree. Ars Technica is not known for being a clickbait site. They are merely stating what platform(s) the malware runs on. It’s not an Android hit piece, and it’s not clickbait, it’s just a warning about buying cheap Chinese electronics that have access to your Wi-Fi.
Welcome to the internet
… where all monumental advances in technology are immediately sexualized and used for getting laid or viewing porn.
… and if you refuse to become a soulless ghoul then you become the merchandise.
I took this article specifically to mean, and that it was referring to, a new form of non-volatile solid state storage. Active memory is by definition, volatile. This article seems to be talking about non volatile RAM, fast enough to function as active RAM. This alone would redefine what a reboot is.
Navigate to the uBlock Origin settings. · Select the “Filter lists” tab. · Scroll to the “Annoyances” section. Place a check mark next to “AdGuard/uBO – Cookie Notices”.
I recently discovered that the Firefox add-on, ublock origin, has in its chooseable block lists, under annoyances, a cookie notice blocker with lots of other annoyance blockers as well.
13 years. Found Reddit from visiting Popurls after ditching Digg, after leaving Catch.
Apple has blind loyalty
I agree. However, I also think that vendor lock-in is the true culprit. The strange thing about Apple users is that they get locked into that platform and there is little escape, but instead of feeling resentful, they swell with pride instead. Apple user = proud capative.
I use the version on ninite.com. It was the last version before AOL bought it with murderous intent, so the developers put 666 at the end of the version number as a slight to them.
From my readings in the last few weeks, there does seem to be some sort of coordinated effort to control public messaging. There was/is a discussion about how the right wing is suing and chilling any and all efforts to expose and educate about disinformation. The lawsuits were so menacing that they even wanted to go after the students of the classes run by professors they were suing for teaching about present day disinformation in our society. It isn’t just professors, it includes writers and journalists and groups that targeted disinformation. This is being done under the banner of ‘bias’. Opposing, criticizing, or pushing back against far right wing messaging is attacked and sued as intolerable bias.
It’s believed that this is to clear the way for a massive onslaught of disinformation and conspiracy theories entering into the 2024 election cycle. As far as what’s happening to some social media sites, the timing is suspect. Reddit and Twitter were among the most effective at getting out the blue vote. Now they are in shambles.
Terrible article. It even leads with a photo to mock the idea.
The benefits of painting a home’s roof with any white paint are enough to justify making it the standard. The article doesn’t even mention that the super white paint can reduce indoor temperature by 8 or more degrees. That’s a lot of energy not needed to cool the home. Even more effective is placing a second white roof above the roof on posts to shield it from solar heat. It would make sense to make a secondary roof solar panel ready. It would also extend the lifespan of the original roof.
"The paint’s properties are almost superheroic. It can make surfaces as much as eight degrees Fahrenheit cooler than ambient air temperatures at midday, and up to 19 degrees cooler at night, reducing temperatures inside buildings and decreasing air-conditioning needs by as much as 40 percent.”

The article sounds like a hit job to ridicule a simple and effective idea.
