crypto is untraceable (mostly)
It is very traceable. It's just that the government doesn't have a special position with tracing transactions, so there's been a bunch of kludges built on top of the very transparent Bitcoin network to try to mask things.
The Arch Wiki describes the AUR in plain terms: it's a user-submitted community repository of software, not warranted to be safe or even vetted by Arch maintainers, packaged to be friendly with pacman.
If you're doing things the "Arch way" the differences between the AUR and officially supported packages should be obvious, and you should at the very least skim the PKGBUILD files to understand where things are coming from and how they work.
At 15: I better get an email address that reflects my interests and personality!
At 25: Ok ok my name is the only permanent thing about me so it should be based on my name.
At 35: why am I revealing this much personal information in my email address? I should just have a random jumble of letters.
Sure, but the method of rooting that I'm familiar with (and one I suspect is the most popular) is to unlock the bootloader and modify a boot image that you can freely download from Google's website in accordance with their license, and then load and run that boot image onto your device.
Because a cutting edge semiconductor fab takes about $10 billion and 3-5 years to build. So when they made the plans in 2020 based on anticipated demand in 2023-2025, they started the process for manufacturing memory that would be useful for DDR5 specs. Then big orders came in later, during the AI boom of 2023 onward, to claim the cutting edge fabs' 2025 production, to manufacture that very fast memory to be connected directly to logic chips rather than standalone memory packages/DIMMs.
In other industries, production would just pick up to meet the new demand, faster, to claim all that money sloshing around. But when the bottleneck is with something that takes 5-10 years to finance and plan, sudden increases in demand usually result in crazy price volatility.
See also the whiskey market of 2015-2025, where the production of whiskeys that required 12+ years of aging hit a bottleneck, because 2005 producers couldn't have predicted just how much 12-year-old whiskey people would want in 2017.
It just means overcoming software limitations set by the manufacturer.
With you so far.
Rooting an android phone is also jailbreaking
Not if the method to do so consists entirely of steps that the manufacturer allows and documents.
Depending on the manufacturer and model, unlockable bootloaders mean that custom software can be installed without a jail to break out of.
"I outsourced the copywriting to the lowest bidder, who happened to be in Poland"
The U.S. basically made them illegal in workplaces in the 70's, when it was shown that employers were using so-called intelligence tests unrelated to job functions to discriminate on the basis of race. Plus, in the 90's they passed a law banning discrimination on the basis of disability. Now workplace testing needs to be shown to be directly related to job responsibilities, so general purpose tests are pretty much too much of a compliance nightmare to be worth the effort.
Maybe they're still common in some other countries, but they're really rare in the U.S.
Because it obviously was.
The dashes, the short sentences, the bullet points, the overly familiar tone that seems LinkedIn-ish. All of it sounds like AI.
At least they moved onto year-based versioning. That was probably the best part about the 26/Tahoe release.
It's called decoding and encoding.
But the big data centers doing all the video processing for the big video services (including both permanent videos from a library and things like live streaming) are encoding the videos with settings that require less computational power to decode. The idea is to be able to let even old budget smartphones still be able to display the video with very low power requirements on the client device. There's no universe where consumers decoding digital video will be a high-power computational task.
Restaurants have sharp knives in the kitchen, but generally serve food that requires only minimal cutting effort from the table knives set out with the rest of the table settings. Dining will always be easier than cooking, by a margin that makes the difficulty of dining not worth mentioning, so it would be bizarre to criticize a knife as being only good for cooking and eating food, when plenty of dining tableware knives out there would be insufficient for kitchen work.
You've made the mistake of lumping decoding and encoding together based on the algorithmic/mathematical similarity of those tasks, when everyone else is more inclined to discuss the very different end user use cases of those computing needs.
Aren't you just describing OpenID at that point? Implementation and adoption has been uneven, but the standard complements OAuth.
