Why would Apple ever prioritize their customer's interests over their own? They've never once suggested that they would, and their customers prefer a hierarchical relationship. Apple is a company that whitelists which functions of a general purpose computer that their customers will be allowed to use.

That makes some people feel really secure, like the company is a loving parent, although companies don't love. They decide what is profitable and what is not.

In the UK, Men in Black was a PG when released. We had a "12" rating at the time, but that meant 11 year olds couldn't go to the cinema to see it, even with an adult present.

Independence day which came out a year earlier (also with Will Smith) was a 12.

I want to say I remember static between channels, but TBH it's been too many years to say for sure. My parents gave me a 12" black and white TV in the late 70s or very, very early 80s and I want to say it'd had static when switching channels.

I know, though, that I had to adjust the antenna for some channels. The knob did have specific stops, but you had to tinker with the antenna position for some channels.

This is increasingly true as Google is moving further and further away from AOSP, and I think it's eroding the appeal of Android as a whole.

That said, at least Google apps talk to just Google. Samsung apps for example have been shown to connect to numerous different analytics services and ad networks even if you spring for the most expensive devices they sell which isn't great.
EME was standardized in 2017:

There are many levels to work through so you'll have to decide where you want to start, and whether to start top down, or bottom up (or a bit of both?) and whether you want to know the electrical side too (I have a basic understanding, but not a lot here - enough to understand what I see on an oscilloscope is 0 and 1s - based on pull down/up and clock frequency - but not how to use it).

Ground up this video is fantastic and shows why first computers were made from lightbulbs: https://youtu.be/FU_YFpfDqqA

Top down you'll to want to start working with a lower level language, if you're confident with languages like Java, start looking at C, particularly pointer arithmetic which reflects memory locations.
From there look at how drivers work - C on an Arduino for example to control electronics. This is simpler in some ways that trying the equivalent through many framework abstraction layers you don't need to know about on a PC. This teaches you registers, byte and memory manipulation to control hardware, as well serial data transfer technology (low level data transfer protocols over a wire one which modern USB is based). It also helps with your understanding for how some hardware such as a GPS you can literally read NMEA (coordinate) data as a string over a serial port/USB connection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMEA_0183 . This was an eye opener for me ~20 years ago.

Going down from the level of memory and byte manipulation you get to assembly language, which tends to be machine/CPU specific operations but will teach you the architecture side of a computer, and depending on the arch you learn align with CPU instruction sets (as well as basic copy memory type ops, modern CPUs have SIMD instructions, e.g. MMX or hardware encryption etc).
You can go slightly lower here to microcode but the gains would be minimal in advancing your general knowledge.

Lower from there you need to consider how the components are made and their electrical properties, e.g. flipflops, CPU parts like ALU etc. You're then pretty much at the ground up stage so the video above shouldn't be an eye opener...

Then to test your knowledge end to end... write an emulator for something like a Gameboy in Javascript :D

Presumably the end game is for Google and a few other corporations to control what web browsers you can use to access most of the web. Mozilla may or may not play asking (they did on EME). Linux won't work except maybe for Ubuntu and Red Hat build if/once they get around to adding support for it. That could be a long time since you need a long chain of verifications to pass thru the browser, OS, kernel, boot environment, and TPM to work AND you'll need to convince Google that the chain is strong enough to not be hacked. Ad blockers will be shut out at some point.

And no, you can't just go back to playing flight simulator off of floppies. Your bank, your airplane and concert tickets, heck even your child's pediatrician will require it. Not that doctors are hungrily reading up new web specifications, but they'll be using a medical services platform that relies on some cloudflare defaults that all the security guys like because it cuts down on bots and DDoS.

You'll be left using walled garden operating systems that spy and advertise as incessantly as cable TV.

Maybe a big stink will cause Google to backtrack a little, or make promises they won't and can't ultimately keep. The only real solution is to use the government to prevent users from losing control.

So, exactly as with google trying to sign into google's account?

>the best selling point their apps have is that they try to masquerade them as standard android apps and not a cheap samsung knockoff.

Again, same for google's apps which people think "come as a part of android", but in reallity they arent?

As if google doesn't use telemetry?

Not to mention, there are things in which the samsung apps are OBJECTIVELLY better:

OneUI's customization is far beyond what stock android offers.
Samsung Files has more features then google files, ie. mounting network drives.

I might be one of those value shoppers; I usually buy the "Pixel .a" version of the oldest available generation when it's time for replacement (I'm currently on a Pixel 4a). I like it. I used to have an iPhone, but I prefer the "feel" of Andriod-on-Pixel, but I don't know how to describe it. Less heavy-handed maybe? More minimalistic?

I don't need the fastest, most powerful SoC. I don't need the best, super fast display. The battery life on my 4a is enough for my needs. People get way too religious about this.

And what happens when there's a vulnerability in that SDK and every app using it for "their flow" is suddenly vulnerable to attackers scraping sensitive data from the pasteboard of their users? Or what if one of the dozen other SDKs you bundle in your app includes malicious code that takes advantage of the fact you already enabled the pasteboard API for another SDK?

As a developer, I sympathize with you, but as a user, you can get bent. I appreciate that Apple makes it difficult for you to use potentially dangerous APIs with large risk surfaces, and forces you to ask me for permission to take that risk. It's why I continue to buy Apple products and will never switch to Android as long as it's owned by a user-hostile advertising company.

The disconnect is that you're thinking about computers for their ability to do computing. Most people don't care about whether their computers are good at computing, but are instead trying to accomplish some other task. In fact, the more that the 'computer' disappears, the better in their mind.

That wouldn't work. It would put a heavy burden on imported products. If you're from a large country you might not really care about this, but companies are most definitely willing to just ignore certain markets that are difficult to enter if the markets are small enough. Ie the consumers in small countries will just have a lot less choice and there probably won't be any local competition either.

VHF has gone away in some areas, as I understand it. It is all gone in the Chicago metro area, now all HDTV is broadcast on UHF channels only. And thank goodness for that! For a while, CBS 2 Chicago was on VHF channel 12, and was limited in power. So the reception outside the city limits was rather poor, even for relatively close-in suburbs. They finally got 48.2 allocated, and that comes in much better, much further out. It was frustrating, because the other major & minor channels were already on UHF and came in fine.

In a kind of corrollary of Dunning-Kruger, there is often a chasm between what people think DNS is and all of the things it can be. The article points some of that out (stub resolvers, even different implementations of libc); recursive versus authoritative responses; the recursion process; recursive versus authoritative servers.

A lot of deployment implementations are "bottom of the barrel" and aren't correct to begin with, although they work for the intended purpose. There is no checklist for server implementations which I am aware of (I've asked where people should know!). There's a lot of folklore which persists because if it works it's presumed correct.

There's "DNS" and then there's "The DNS", the "one true root" with arbitrary restrictions on the contents of labels. There's political interference with implementations in terms of the "one true root" doctrine, which interferes with marrying a resolver which e.g. queries a control plane and serves an application plane (where they have different roots): there are e.g. notions of forwarded zones, but there is no notion I am aware of of a "always recurse and lie that you're authoritative" zone (you can hack source code to accomplish this of course).

Even MITRE ATT&CK doesn't always get it right. They had it listed that DNSSEC "traffic" had to be examined with SSL tools, until I pointed it out (I didn't get credit). DNSSEC related records are ordinary DNS records, nothing is being encrypted.

I could go on: the experts were wrong on (UDP) frags, anycast...

> It wasn't realistic to define a boundary between what each middleman might need and what they wouldn't need, and somehow push the "not needed" part into nested encoded blobs.

This is an interesting argument that I would like to see more elaboration on, because that's the obvious solution. Effectively you're building a pipeline of data processors and each stage in the pipeline reads its own information and then passes along a payload with the rest of the information to the next stage. This would preserve full static typing with required fields, but I can see how it might inhibit some forms of dynamic instrumentation, eg. turning verbose logging on/off might dynamically reconfigure the pipeline, which would affect all upstream producers if they're wrapping messages for downstream consumers.

If this were a programming language I would immediately think of row typing to specify the parts that each stage depends on while being agnostic about the rest of the content, but I'm not sure how that might work for a serialization format. Effectively, you're pulling out a typed "view" over the underlying data that contains offsets to the underlying fields (this is the dictionary-passing transform as found in Haskell).
Yeah, it's true, you can't buy a general purpose computing device from Apple anymore. Apart from the Mac.
Not necessarily - the clock source for logging is often at millisecond resolution, but at the speed of modern systems you could pile up quite a few log entries in a millisecond.

I handle this by having a guid field for a primary key on such tables where there isn't a naturally unique index in the shape of the data. So something is unique, and you can delete or ignore other rows relative to that. (Just don't make your guid PK clustered; I use create-date or log-date for that.)

The OP said that everyone is walled off by cars so they have a mindset of controlling their children, lest they get run over. You're saying that they're actually afraid of kidnappers etc., while they should be of cars. To me these points are contradictory.

In any case do you think removing cars will solve the problem? My guess is that no, because this mindset appeared decades after cars took over, and these things are actually not related.
