If it has chmod -R a whole hierarchy to its own preferred universal permission (formerly 777 which noone noticed, but one of the devs read a blog about security and changed it to 600 for this release), then putting back the original permissions for all the thousands of files and directories is a major task. You basically need to install another system as a reference to copy the permissions from, so you might as well reinstall everything.
This is why I always reject anything that has requirements that I install the latest version of everything and use a language specific package manager to manage dependencies. Javascript packages seem the worst for the "bleeding edge" requirement, but Java, PHP, Python, Ruby and even Perl have long had issues with requiring the language specific package manager to be used.
If my distro maintainers have not packaged it and tested to the level that the rest of the OS gets tested, then it has no place on my server.
What is really strange was there was an announcement a week ago that Uber was giving up on SE Asia and planning on selling their operations there to Grab in exchange for shares in Grab. Now this about turn. I suspect there are factions within Uber's boardroom that cannot agree on their strategy here, so the CEO going around making premature public statements probably isn't a great idea. Or maybe Grab rightly turned down the offer of a failed portion of Uber in return for significant shareholding.
When you read that 97% of Americans support background checks nobody realizes there's a lot of variations in what a "background check" entails...
You should probably read that as 97% of Americans support background checks... for other people. As soon as the background checks will affect them personally (not necessarily to the point of refusal, but causing them extra hassle), a lot will change their minds.
There is actually a very strong correlation between gun availability and shootings. Go look it up in some of those peer-reviewed, replicated study results you mention.
Manual transmissions used to have advantages over automatic for fuel economy and performance. Those days are over. At this point, manual transmissions are for hipsters, and cars with manual transmissions should really only come with one of these as its entertainment system.
Brake pipes have never been secure, and it really isn't that big of a problem. So now someone can tap a wire and mess with your brakes in more ways than just draining the fluid to stop them working. Fantasies about controlling a car's brakes via the radio's Bluetooth connection aside, what threats do you actually see here? CAN networks have been separated between the high-speed engine management and safety network and the low speed infotainment, climate control and other "comfort" features on most cars for at least a decade now.
Sorry boss, the data storage evolved so I couldn't complete those TPS reports you asked for. And I'm taking the rest of day off because the bacteria in my computer gave me a bad case of the Dreaded Lurgi.
They accomplish this by hiding the tracking information, not by removing it. The latter might afford you some privacy, and hurt Google's bottom line. The former gives you an illusion of privacy while they ramp up the tracking even further. Basically, they are putting URLs onto the clipboard as HTML instead of plain text.
Given that Japan's Softbank has been investing heavily into Uber, Lyft, Grab and whatever other hailing/ride-sharing apps it can get its hands on, could this just be a sign that Sony is short of cash, and looking for a handout from Softbank?
To me it seems like the biggest problem UPS has, is that faced with the prospect of competition from Amazon, they go and tell the press all their best efficiency improvement secrets.
Which leaves the question, what was in it for the Russians? Why did they so clearly support Trump through the primaries and into the election, only to start playing both sides after he was elected?
The question is why "gun control" is the key word that will provoke civil unrest in the US after 17 people were just killed in the 8th school shooting so far this year.
It's an Indian character. They need to store a lot more than bitmaps or vectors for each character. The font itself contains processing code, and the font rendering involves much more than just blting a bitmap or tracing some vectors.
DAB in UK uses MPEG1 layer 2 audio, the patents for that expired long ago. Even MP3 (MPEG1 layer 3 audio) had mostly expired long ago, the final patents that expired last year were for specific VBR encoding and never used multi-channel formats.
GE technology appears to have two other possibly relevant Malaysian patent applications first filed in the US in 1993, one was granted last year and another is still under examination, so they may be able to drag this out until at least 2032 if MPEG-LA are still accepting new patents into the pool. I don't know about the other patent holders, I only found those while trying to figure out which patent MY 1289941 was referring to (turns out to be MY 128994-A, consistent with the format of the others)
CSR 867x is a self contained Bluetooth SoC. That might be the only solution that makes sense for wireless headphones, but for a device like the Homepod, using a separate SoC and HCI Bluetooth IC, and decoding the audio on the SoC is also an option. LDAC is available in source code form in Android, so there is no reason for it to be limited to the CSR SoC.
Oh, lets import this entire library for one function that we probably could have optimized and created our own. So what if it takes another 4MB of ram, thats nothing.
It sucks that you're stuck using Windows 98, but modern operating systems will load libraries using mmap, so they don't actually take up physical RAM for the unused portions.
Snap apps come with all their dependencies bundled into a huge monolithic Windows Installer like package. They are not dependent on the OS installed versions of libraries at all, which makes them well suited to apps developed by young ADHD developers who only build against git HEAD of their third party dependencies.
So did they publish it so we can take control of our own TVs?
I've seen that Samsung has Android apps available that work only on Samsung phones. And a bunch of other guys have advertising laden apps that ask for far too many permissions just like the Samsung one. What I really want is to control my TV from my Home Automation server in response to other events (since the HDMI-CEC on Samsung TVs is next to useless).

I'm thinking of starting work on this, but can't think of a good name.
How about NIHcode.

I started typing Position: Electronics Recycler, and the FBI came to my door within minutes. Thanks Clippy for looking out for us.

Philippines had 17 years after grant until 1997. Malaysia had 15 years after grant until 2001.
Unfortunately they only take bitcoin

Sony's LDAC is not limited to CSR chips. Based on the release of source code in Android, Sony does seem to be open to licensing it for wider use.
