Leave the name to the official brand, it's that simple. Manufacturers of knockoffs should sell under their own name instead.
Knockoffs are bad for everyone except the sellers. It is bad for the brand because it devalues it and it is bad for the customer because he doesn't know what he is getting.
I thought about this too but for this to be really effective, the phone body should contact the hot parts (like the SoC). I've never seen such a design.
A competent techie should be able to take the board, solder a couple of wires on a strategic place and attach a switch to it. Flipping the switch could disconnect the antenna, short some component or do whatever it takes to mess with the radio. Once we know what to do, the procedure shouldn't cost the user more than $100 or so.
Formally, I don't think so, but pwn is clearly used by the security community. A good example is the pwn2own competition where you need to "pwn" the system to "own" the prize.
Shared libraries have many advantages : - Updates : when the library is updated (bugfix, security,...) every app using it benefits from it, even if the app itself isn't updated - Disk space : no need to have several copies of the same thing. - Memory : read-only parts shared libraries are usually loaded only once in memory for all apps using it - Performance : an effect of the two previous points, results in faster loading time, better cache efficiency,...
The scattering of data isn't there for nothing either : an app can have several parts with different purposes. There is the executable and other static files that are used only by the app itself, shared data, system configuration, user data, possibly for several users on the same system... The "everything in a single folder" approach has its drawbacks. That's why different OSes work differently.
- Linux distributions : heavy use of shared components backed with powerful package managers. This goes well with free software, package maintainers, who have access to source codes and can modify and redistribute at will make sure everything work together. - Windows : A huge mess of partly individual, partly shared components. Not pretty but Windows has a lot to deal with. It has to play along with both open and closed software models, it has decades of history behind it and cannot afford to throw everything away. - Android : It is much closer to what you describe : every app is mostly self-contained and removing it removes all traces of it. It can get away with it because much less flexibility is required from mobile devices. It is also commonly backed by cloud storage, so losing your local data is typically not a big deal. I don't know about the Apple side of things but considering they are mostly closed system, package management is probably cleaner.
Our usual ad blockers are probably not what is targeted by this law. And if they are, it is easy to work around it by shipping the software (which is basically a browser-based firewall) and the lists separately. uBlock especially doesn't even market itself as an ad-blocker.
What is more problematic is when the end user is not in control of the list. For example, some ISPs offer (or offered) an ad-blocking option. This is totally against net neutrality, I don't want my ISP to decide what is good for me or not (kinda ironic in china but still...). Even worse are those that hijack ads and replace them with their own. There is a difference between choosing not to look at billboards and tearing or covering them off.
Well, this is what I think of. The translation in TFS are so poor that it isn't clear at all what the law is all about.
There is no such thing as "actual colors" in film. A camera and your eyes don't react to the same wavelengths and displays are also different. Additionally, your brain preprocesses what your eyes see in a way that is adapted to the real world, not a movie screen. Colors are not realistic to begin with, so what you see on film are either an artistic choice or the result of technical limitations. Probably more of the former than the latter in any movie worth its salt.
Chrome and Windows 10 are actually pretty secure as far as modern browsers and Windows OS go. Sure, Google and Microsoft want to know everything about you but they don't want to share.
I don't know the situation in the US but landlords are not all 1-percenters. A lot of them are just "little people" investing. OTOH the guy subletting apartments to AirBnB may very well end up in the 1% : $3500 per month per apartment is a lot.
Malware in pure data like flac, ogg, opus or mp3, how?
Some vulnerable software can be exploited with media files, a well known case is the stagefright bug in Android. I don't think it is common on filesharing networks though. Much more common are files that aren't pure data. The goal is to trick you into launching an executable, like "music.mp3.exe". Also many tracker sites are riddled with ads and malware, even some of the most popular ones. If you don't notice it, it is probably because your adblocker is doing a good job.
It is because we have things like EME that net neutrality is important. EME in itself is not bad, it is just another DRM system that can be used by content providers. Those who don't want to use it don't have to use it, and this is where net neutrality comes in : it makes sure that content providers who chose not to use it get their fair share of bandwidth.
A madman running over people in a crowded street doesn't have to be a terrorist.
In fact this accident looks a lot like what happened in Akihabara, Tokyo in 2008 where a guy ran over people with a rental truck. He was much less successful than the Nice killer, probably because the place was less crowded, so he stepped down and stabbed random people with a dagger. Absolutely no link with terrorism, just a madman, in the US he probably would have been a school shooter or something.
Well, maybe he really is a terrorist but we have no convincing evidence yet, and no claim by any terrorist organization. So for now, I'd say the most sensible hypothesis is that the killer wasn't a terrorist.
So Nintendo is doing officially what the Chinese have been doing for more than a decade illegally. They go by the name "Power Player" or "Super Joy" and contain dozens of NES games preloaded. The entire system is typically contained within the controller and the quality is very poor.
I switched to this too. The difficulty is that if you mess things up or copy-paste some code written in a different style you have to do the reindentation by hand. "convert to spaces/tabs" usually isn't smart enough to do the job. And with a mix of tabs and spaces, it is easy to mess things up.
It is probably to help distinguishing comments from non-comments, especially when syntax highlighting isn't used, or in patch files. Some text editors manage this style of comment quite well.

It compares favorably in terms of cost.

It means that the glass survives during the first 80% of the fall. Which mean it is able to stand 0g for at least 0.5s.

Free will is the ability to influence your environment by your own volition, independent from the inexorable march of time or destiny or god's plan.
Just realized that this definition of free will is really close to the definition of randomness.

So, you want docker containers ;)

Kepler could have confirmed exoplanet, unfortunately he is a few centuries too old for this.

In New York, they could have women in juries. However, in 1954, it wasn't the case in all states.
Likely their crackdown on VPNs and foreign subscribers has also contributed somewhat to the churn.
If they'd let paying customers, you know, be paying customers then maybe they'd be in a better position now.
Probably not their decision. Netflix would love not to have any regional restrictions. Content owners and governments have other ideas.

It is what scammers call a "meter".
I don't know how much space Feynman diagrams saved but that's certainly nothing compared to Huffman coding.
