As if "Embrace, extend, and extinguish" hadn't always been a threat. But better late than never.

Given the rates with which bots scan things, that number seems pretty ridiculous, especially coming from a bot scan company.

Not that it isn't a big number, though. And new holes come up regularly.

Well, you could make one out of polycarbonate. Even PE or PA would probably put up a good fight before you could claim it's (non technically) shattered.

TV pixels were also generally not square. And if the device was a TV and not an actual video monitor (both were used with home computers), it was a little slow and blurry. And overscan existed. There's a lot of things that will be a bit different when you look at an emulated display.

Well, maybe whoever decides to rewrite it (in Rust) can use the issue list for inspiration.

In practice? Constantly changing hardware with soc vendors that publish nothing and device manufacturers that (have to) keep pushing out new models on a short cycle. Plus many of them have extra shenanigans to keep the bootloader locked so you can't install a recovery (presuming you had a working one) so you could replace the os. There are some rare exceptions, but the hardware is rare and tedious and not many people can or will work on installable Linux on them.

If you just want to run some Linux userland, there's ways to do that on top of android, though. Want to get to a Linux like system or run a program? Might be as close as installing a terminal or running adb shell.

I did this this year, too. Though I had pretty considerable fever and felt run over by something. Couldn't do much else than read a bit and sleep.

Not a terrible day, though it felt like a waste not actually being able to get anything done.

Fourth one is totally wizard, though.

There's Albert. But.. Albert.

Finding employment is just losing a job with extra steps. Straight to jail.
