  1. Re:Google should unlock the bootloader. on Original Chromebook Pixel Reaches End of Life (droid-life.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's not locked, so they can't unlock it. You just need to boot into developer mode and turn off OS verification.

    The presence of one thing (nuclear power plant) can mean the absence of another (coal power plant).

  4. I heard the big tertiary education provider in MA is terrible too.

  5. That's why you used the IRC PING command, as their client you sent the request to would response with PONG and the argument you sent them.
    Sending PING +++ATH0 caused their client to respond with PONG +++ATH0

  6. If you have an idea how to make a production line better than current silicon technologies in only 5 years, you'll be a billionaire.

    But you don't. You're just pulling numbers out of your ass.

  7. Doubt it, since AMD just shifted to TSMC.
    Probably more like GlobalFoundries wasn't confident in the progress they were making, so cut their losses.

  8. They're saying wait until that patches are being deployed before publishing. Like what they did in this case.

  9. Of because Google knows about all app installations, because users agreed to let Play Protect scan all installed apps.

    Google probably have a better idea than Epic. As the users actually need to run the software for it to notify Epic that it's installed and what version it is. Google already has that software running on virtually every Android phone.

  10. They don't pay tax on the 30% Google took.
    They also don't need to run any of their own infrastructure, pay for bandwidth or pay a payment processor, which for very small transactions like in-app purchases, will charge a lot higher than the "normal" 2.5%.
    They also don't need to worry about the security implementation of the payment system in their app. Or the security of the installation manager software, which apparently did Epic not worry about, they completely disregarded any attempt at security.

  11. If their software was distributed via Google Play, the patch would have been installed automatically for the majority of users after a few days. By default phones are set to auto-update apps when they're on WiFi and charging. Google Play itself always auto-updates. Epic is saying after a week hardly anyone has updated their installer.

  12. Don't forget Epic also continued to say ".... and on top of that, we're telling them to install an app with a massive security hole in it"

  13. Google don't take all of the 30% for themselves. You can get Visa et all will be getting a decent cut of that.

  14. Fucked up like an amature.

    And their reason for doing this is because they want to handle the in-app purchases themselves to make more profit.
    So they can't write a secure installer and we're expecting them to securely handle peoples credit card information?

  15. Epic didn't want a security hole publicly announced while they were running their Android rollout campaign, making people think twice about the security warning they accept when side-loading apps on their phone.

    Especially since they were already told doing things this way would put the security of their users at risk.

  16. You mean what Microsoft is now doing again with Edge?

  17. The news is you can unlock a phone via the usb port, and presumably gain access to an encrypted phone without the passcode.
    You can't do that by sending keystrokes via a usb hid.

    They don't like suing individuals, because once they're declared bankrupt, there isn't enough money left in their assets to pay their own lawyers, because they had to sell their house to pay their own lawyer.

    I own paper with words on it

    It's illegal for me to make a back-up of my CD's or DVD's. That's also copyright infringement.
    I'm not even allowed to play my original CD in any situation other than "personal use". I can't buy a CD and play it in my shop where the public can hear it.
