I could be wrong, but I think Qualcomm designs its own chips and only licenses the “API”, so it would be no difference for them.

Didn’t he promote it at some point?

… and execution speed is faster. And they’re both open source. I mean, good thing we have choices, right?

Sure, once you have root on the host system you can pretty much do whatever you want … adding entries to udev isn’t anything revolutionary.

From the article:

Patronscan previously had a system flag for “substance abuse,” but this flag was removed in 2019, according to Mlikotin. Its privacy policy notes a California law that limits its flags to “fraud, abuse, and material representation.”

Silo AI is committed to “open source” AI models, which are available for free and can be customised by anyone. This distinguishes it from the likes of OpenAI and Google, which favour their own proprietary or “closed” models.

It’s funny that a company called Silo AI makes open LLM models while one called OpenAI makes closed ones…

You’re welcome! And yes, I can confirm it works in light mode as well :)

I was reading the site on Android, and it looked dark, but after seeing this comment, I tried disabling Android system wide dark mode, and sure enough it became white like in the screenshot! For the record, I tried with both Firefox and a Chromium-based browser.

McAfee is not Russan, just like Instagram is not Chinese (I thought it was clear enough).

Yes it’s a clear reference to TikTok, which I don’t like for many many reasons, but none of those reasons is why it was banned, it’s because it’s Chinese.

But is not Russian, just like Instagram is not Chinese.

The reference to Minority Report is right in the subtitle:

The social media app might get hit with a federal lawsuit before its ban officially begins as the FTC has issued a warning for possible future crimes.

and apparently the FTC statement includes these words:

violating or are about to violate the law.

I mean, I also don’t really like TikTok and have a hard time picturing an adult using it as well, but that doesn’t mean it should be held accountable for “future crimes”. At least, that’s what the article is claiming…

Ok, so, no official support for Windows 10, but can you still install and run Windows 10 and renouce whatever “support” or will it just not work?

I agree with the sentiment, but I think the article meant “service” in a more general way. For example, developing software for sale, to be used offline and/or on device rather than cloud, can also be considered a service.

When I saw “Copilot Recall” I initially thought they recalled Copilot … one can dream

The guide is suggesting to install microG, an open source reimplementation of Google services that even many “degooglers” use.

While that might be true, it doesn’t look like The Verge was sponsored by any specific ebike company to write this article, since they never mention any specific brand.

Edit: actually after scrolling down enough, they did interview people from some ebike company. Still doesn’t look (too) sponsored

Maybe I should’ve specified that it was unlocked via the official “OEM Unlock” switch provided by Samsung. Yes, there are Samsung phones that can be unlocked, though you’re right, many cannot be (usually US versions).

Yes, and up to not long ago, also completely different hardware (exynos vs snapdragon). US samsung devices usually cannot be bootloader unlocked. Rest of the world usually can. No idea why.

I’m writing this from a samsung with unlocked bootloader.

That would require me to buy an iPhone which I won’t do for many many reasons… but ok, maybe Apple Maps is a decent competitor nowadays, good to know.
