Lojcs , 3 months ago to Technology in Sony declared winner in $500M patent infringement suit

Fuckers patented the concept of a user interface device sending / receiving multiple streams of data at once?? Rgb keyboard/mouses, headphones with buttons on them.. so many things fall under that category.

It's incredible how broad the patent is. It's not about an implementation, as far as I can tell it doesn't even need to transmit the input it receives. By a stretch any display, multi channel audio setup or even the power button of a computer with a light on it would qualify.

Do they just let people write whatever they want on patents??

The equivalent of a 20-30 character random password with numbers and characters is a 7-11 word passphrase. Seeing how passphrase generators default to 4-5 words (equivalent to 11-14 characters) what you did isn't so bad

Isn't that how fdroid worked for a long time?

Edit: although it doesn't make sense to me for play store to do the same without the source code available

Edit 2:

The reason is that they forced new apps AND apps for Android TV to use App Bundles
https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle
This type of release cannot be installed as it but can be used to generate the apk files. In order to do so, the Play Store has to sign on the fly.

Not buying it. They could let the dev sign evey combination before uploading. They'll be caching them anyways

That website doesn't even display the text in chromium based browsers for me

Lojcs , 3 months ago to Technology in Apple to allow iOS app downloads direct from websites in the EU (with restrictions), in compliance with the Digital Markets Act

So they want developers to pay for the privilege of paying for their app's download hosting?

I really hope someone in the EU is getting as pissed at this as I am.

Hm didn't realize the ground could be a seperate connector that other chips don't need. Ig that explains that

Lojcs OP , 3 months ago to Mildly Infuriating in Asus putting solder but not a chip on this spot on its motherboard so you can have a heart attack when you notice it

That's not the problem, there are other 'missing' components on the board too but since there's no solder in their place they're not alarming. The problem is that this particular spot looks like there was supposed to be something on there

Lojcs OP , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago) to Mildly Infuriating in Asus putting solder but not a chip on this spot on its motherboard so you can have a heart attack when you notice it

No I mean there are other marked spots with connections coming to them that are empty but devoid of solder. If they were coating everything in one go those would be coated too, no?

Edit: nvm

Sorry. I just cropped from the picture asus had on their website

Lojcs OP , 3 months ago to Mildly Infuriating in Asus putting solder but not a chip on this spot on its motherboard so you can have a heart attack when you notice it

There are other empty spots without solder on them tho

Even if it's not more secure it's extra effort nevertheless. But as you said even without that it still removes an entire vector of attack

Wouldn't that ban self hosted email period?

How would they even detect that? Blacklist common alias providers?
