Tier 1 -- default tier, all apps are curated, scanned by Google's AI for potential mischief, and for an app developer to have an app in Tier 1, they must agree to more stringent requirements, and are put on notice that it doesn't take much for them to have their app chucked from the tier. This is what Amazon does with their Android app store.
Isn't ES File Explorer still on the Amazon App Store? That's shady AF
If you have root, you can install a Unix userland and use Xrdp and an RDP client to get a full graphical login on your Androids. Or you can get the light version with Busybox Pro, which I've been using for years now. But you really do have to stick with hardware which is at least rootable, if not fully unlockable. The latter is preferable, because it lets you run LineageOS on many devices. That way, you can keep getting some kind of updates after your vendor abandons your device, at least for a while.
Vizio started out by offering a durable product with terrible filtering which could be disabled completely, offering the lowest possible latency on native resolution signals, and with loads of brightness. It's unfortunate what's become of them since. It reminds me of Apex, who made their name by selling a player with very little filtering, and a trivial region-free hack from the remote. They were great for watching Anime.
DVI could easily be the plug right now....no reason it isn't, except for DRM.
HDMI is a better plug anyway, because it's cheaper and smaller. It's also a lot better self-guiding than DVI. There's a retention mechanism, which unfortunately is rarely available, but it does show up now and then. And it's not like adapters (or cables with one of each) are rare.
We really need to get antivirus down to a charity level of business...
It's possible to scan files on an Android device with ClamAV, a couple of different ways. As long as you get a rootable device, you can access enough files to make it worth scanning.
Pie restricts scans to a very small number, which negatively affects network scanners. It was allegedly done to preserve battery life, but surely there is a better way.
Maybe they can pretend safety features require a subscription paid per gallon, and put the car in limp mode as a 'safety precaution' because the safety features are disabled.
Apple is always in limp mode. Hard things are dangerous, so they only permit rounded surfaces.

If there's a network anomaly, it's probably inside Facebook's network. I can access the site, and I can type stuff into Facebook, but when I submit it I get back an error message.
There are all kinds of pressure and flow reflections in a good exhaust system to help scavenge the exhaust gases during the exhaust stroke and reduce noise.
Mostly to reduce noise. Scavenging is generally facilitated in just two places, in the header and in the H/X cross pipe... And inline engines don't have the cross pipe.
If this works by reflection, is it even possible to stack more of these in several layers to achieve higher dampening
Directly stack? Probably not. To put several in the same pipe? Probably, but there are likely practical limits on how close they can be to one another and still function.
The People, through their elected representatives.
What first principles are you using to determine which People's will should prevail, if there is a conflict between companies and the jurisdictions have different rules for how the conflicts should be resolved?
That's obvious: The People in the various jurisdictions get to demand that they be treated a certain way, and Apple has the choice of whether or not to do business in each jurisdiction.

It's not down, it's just bleeding in the corner. I can read, and I can react to things (with the like etc. buttons) but I can't post anything, including status updates and comments. However, at least some other people can do at least some of this stuff, and other functionality is working fine. One of my friends posted a status update wondering if she was in Fb jail, and I was able to send her a PM. And I cleared my cache, so clearly Fb is still sufficiently "up" that it can send me both the program and the content.
This seems like how we knew that Saddam used to have WMDs, we sold them to him, and we kept the receipts. Of course, since we knew how old they were, we also knew he didn't have them any more.
The only nations we know have actually tampered with undersea cables are the US and Russia, so I guess we know conclusively that China could do it because we've done it.
With that said, yes, it's a credible threat. And yes, Huawei probably could bring something to the table in that regard. But so what? That only means that China has come along to a party which was already swingin'.
I think you forgot the link to the recent story where they are starting to do just that
Nah, that's selective. 99.99% of all YouTube comments are toxic garbage, not just the ones from people who want to fuck kids, or who think it's funny to post comments that make it look like they want to fuck kids.
You know who's a bunch of assholes? Facebook. I think they've put me into some kind of special new jail, because I can't post comments or status updates, but haven't gotten any notification about being in Fb jail.
Speaking of which, I can no longer submit stories or journal entries here...
But Apple Watch now can control the Spotify app with effectively the same level of control it gives to Apple Music. Siri can control Spotify, but you can't speak out artists and the like.
So to sum up your argument, it's the same level of control, except that it isn't? Nice one.
Apple? It's Google + Facebook that are the great monopolists. Apple does not hold a monopoly in any market segment.
That is a falsehood, and what's more, it's a particularly tiresome one since it's been debunked so repetitiously. Apple has a monopoly on app installation on iOS devices. No other phone provider in history has made it so difficult (or for the average user, impossible) to install applications acquired from sources other than their app store. They are literally the most egregious offenders of this policy ever to exist in the consumer space. Only IBM has ever had a more offensive policy, back in the early days of their mainframe systems, when any software you wrote on the hardware effectively became the property of IBM. If your only defense is "IBM was worse back in the blue suit days" then you haven't got a leg to kneel on, let alone stand.

On one hand, yes, not being able to figure that out is stupid. On the other hand, Apple has built their reputation on coddling stupid people.
From what I can tell, all affected models have internal batteries.
The photos in the recall expansion notice appear to show examples of both user-replaceable and internal batteries. What resources did you use to make that determination?

They're going to have to figure out a way to reduce voltage, then...
I've posted both patent numbers here before, I'm afraid I'm too lazy to do it again.
One is for a camera whose light-sensing elements are distributed throughout the display, hidden in between the pixels.
The other patent is for a camera in the middle of the display, peeking out from just between four pixels.
