Both the brom and Preloader boot stages feature a USB bootloader mode, which in the r1's case will accept unsigned DA ("Download Agent") images over USB, and allow you to execute them from memory (from SRAM in the case of brom, and DRAM in the case of Preloader).

The RabbitOS developers can patch all of this by setting an efuse that instructs the bootrom to block bootloader access over USB. Moto did this a couple years ago with their MediaTek devices that were susceptible to bootrom attacks via this surface. If I remember correctly this efuse was set at the LK stage and was applied in a regular OTA firmware update.
The claims don't even make sense to me.

Good point. Our human need for connection in real life still exists, though. Ideally you're able to find local friends, but totally understand this can be challenging.
"For instance, a day with a high dry-bulb temperature and low humidity levels could have the same wet-bulb temperature reading as a day with a lower dry-bulb temperature and higher humidity levels. But physiological studies have shown the former presents a greater risk of heat stroke because under such conditions, the human body can’t sweat enough to maintain a thermal equilibrium."

Should it not state latter instead of former? Also this is a bit nitpicky on my part but the problem is with released sweat not evaporating, not insufficient production of it.
Because government is not a singular entity, but made up of lots of individual people. And the overall electoral process of using a silver tongue to convince millions of people that you agree with all of them on everything, especially on things they disagree with each other on, and/or that the world will end if the other guy gets elected, ensures you select away from any sort of pesky things like values or ethics.

The wildest thing, to me, is just how cheap it is to buy a politician. Senator Menendez [1] made it a bit too overt and ended up getting convicted so there's no speculation involved there. International/country level corruption of a senior Senator, who was also the head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, including getting him to directly interfere in criminal cases? Less than a million bucks. I guess it's more of a buyer's market, which is pretty 'funny' in and of itself.

AIU using the feather along with the Apache name could be seen as mindlessly evoking the stereotypical image of a native American as in naive 1950/1960s Western movies, which adds insult to the act of cultural appropriation that is merely using the name.

The currency only has value because it was purchased indirectly via compute. Just like how dollars became valuable because they were purchased with gold. The cost of gold was mining.

Is Bitcoin inherently worth less than dollars? What about gold? Why?

I don't see how you can make currency valuable unless you pay something for it. So I don't see how dollars are environmentally more friendly than dollars. If that's your point.
As someone who will have to work on implementing this I don’t like this wording:

It is not easy. Personally, I'm on the other side of the fence. As Mexican, we often see our culture "misrepresented" in media. But generally, all my friends and family hate it when they "correct it".

For example, we loved Speedy Gonzalez, Yepa yepa! Arriba Arriba! When he was canceled, I guess some people were bothered, but I'm sure there was no consensus around Mexicans whether we wanted it gone. I bet if you did a survey, most Mexicans loved the character. And the same happens with sombreros, nopales and huaraches. I love seeing people using them, people recognizing them, and even selling them (wish all times they were Mexican made, but hey, you can't have it all). It sometimes bothers us, especially when the stereotype affects us personally while looking for jobs, opportunities, etc. But I like having a strong culture that other people imitate, and would rather find ways to educate people in the wrong when the occasion arises and when it is not in our favor than just cancelling it for good.
I think that happens when it comes in via the second-chance pool.
The irony is that the name is much worse than just the logo. Feathers are pretty common, even if they're often associated with Native Americans. The word "Apache" is only one thing: the actual name of a Native tribe. So changing the logo without changing the name doesn't do much, while changing the name while keeping the logo would.

It would be interesting to compare the rates of cheating between pro players and amateur players and see which do so more. I know in some scenes (like speedrunning) it's often the pros that end up being exposed as cheaters more than random amateurs, and often because they wanted to achieve their (reasonable) goals more quickly/efficiently than their situation would allow.

You're assuming everyone gets the immortality and is de facto benevolent.

I have a deep admiration for Steve Jobs and the revolutionary impact Apple had on the computing world. They truly had the potential to push the boundaries of innovation even further. However, it's disappointing to see how they have clamped down on innovation under the guise of security. By turning against hackers, who were once their allies, they have stifled the very spirit of creativity and exploration that once defined them.

In contrast, I'm grateful for my Android phone. Despite its own set of issues, it still allows me the freedom to root it and truly own my device. This openness fosters a community of innovation and experimentation, something that Apple seems to have moved away from. It's a reminder that while security is important, it shouldn't come at the cost of stifling innovation and user freedom.

Does unsubsidized energy exist in the US?

Either way, that’s two dimensions out of dozens. I could argue that efficiency has come a long way (my large SUV gets 40mpg) but more than that people really will pay huge amounts in gas to drive these cars regardless. While I was paying a little over a hundred a month for my Fit in gas other people were paying just south of a thousand. They could have easily moved down and chose not to. I guess you could plan to turn up the pain as much as possible for as long as possible but I’m not sure how you can accomplish that in a democracy.

City parking is not that big a deal, most people don’t do it most of the time. Obviously people value the dozens of other dimensions they assess cars on much more than these two.

You're outright stating OP is suffering from depression ("clearly depressed"). How is that assessment any better? In fact, it's probably worse because that's a clinical judgement.

In terms of the general advice that he build a family - how is that wrong or 'insane'? OP is looking for some kind of purpose or meaning in their life and coding isn't cutting it, and neither is building a tech startup, or travelling, or exercising. It just so happens that being part of a family and being responsible for their welfare has provided purpose for much of humanity throughout our existence. At the very least, it gives you a solid reason why you should get out of bed (the kids need to eat, they need to be taken to school, etc.). Why is that advice unreasonable?

You’re right; what I should have said was “everyone who disagrees with me is operating from a morally inferior value system!” but that’s not as pithy.

In case you’d prefer something more prosaic: there is a difference between stating a contrary position and implying that other people’s positions indicate a defective worldview from which they should seek to free themselves. Or, more simply, there’s a difference between attacking a point and attacking a person.

I would also add that your last point is a bit of a straw man. I can scarcely clarify except by restating my point: spamming a thread with kneejerk retorts instead of taking the time to reflect on someone’s criticism is a dialectical red flag.

I remember it being a lot worse than it currently is, so I think they've realized a lot of that doesn't work or are doing some A/B testing on fixing things. My Spotify homepage is entirely relevant to me content outside of three sections for "popular" things. I'd say the audiobooks section is irrelevant since I don't care for them, but their recommendations are pretty much dead on. My mixes are all based around a different band I like. It used to shove a lot of "recommended" music I obviously wouldn't care for at me but hasn't for a while.

Release Radar is my only complaint, it frustrates me since it misses things from bands I listen to constantly and what it finds 90% of the time feels like they should just say "nothing new came out that you would like".
