my apologies, I was actually thinking of “unlocking the bootloader”, rooting a device without an unlocked bootloader didn’t even occur to me. And since unlocking a bootloader is non-trivial by design, that would prevent any such accidents.

Rooting a device shouldn’t be any more complicated than having a sticker saying “warranty void if removed”.

Why not force them to unlock root from the start?

1 point for the same reason, but having used traveler’s cheques :)

Books were absolutely better, but the TV show was still awesome.

Oracle happened. https://www.pcworld.com/article/423300/why-you-should-ditch-openoffice-and-use-the-free-libreoffice-suite.html

Seriously, fuck Oracle with a rusty rebar. They already ruined mysql.

mysql -> MariaDB

OpenOffice -> LibreOffice

Good job! Welcome to Beltalowda :) Next up: join the OPA!

“…it seems like you may be referring to a private person rather than a widely known public figure. If that’s the case, I wouldn’t have any specific public information on him unless he has gained some public recognition for a particular achievement.”

If you didn’t specifically search for “Mr. <name>”, that would be quite the sexist attitude to assume that person is a “him” ;)

PS: please don’t use LLMs, they produce nothing of value and contribute to idiots being deceived.

edit: never mind, found it. So there’s dumbasses storing sensitive data (keys!) inside their git folder and unable to configure .gitignore…

Exactly. You buy one and… you get two :) If only there were words for that… Like… Two-for-(the-price-of-)one or Buy one get one free or Buy one get two :)

doesn’t mean it is any less logical :) but then again, marketing people were never known for excessive logical thinking skills…

the only times I heard it before, it included the clarifying “free”. That was in the - then united - states. " buy one get one" just sounds like either a scam, or tautological…

“Buy one get one deal!"

That’s not a deal, that’s a normal sale. Did they actually phrase it like that? “You pay for 1 item, you get 1 item”? What you mean - and what such a wording might mislead you to believe - is “buy one, get one free” (a.k.a. BOGOF)

To be fair, I have a Turkish phone that I will need to “fix” if it lets me.

“It’s only okay if western companies steal.” duh!

today I learned - using Linux at home since 2005ish and I have never had an auto-file generated on any USB attached drives of mine…

honestly - while a Mac is certainly less painful to use than winshit, putting rubbish files recursively into each(!!) accessed folder, on all thumbdrives ever inserted, that’s something Jobs deserves to burn in hell for.
